a great success. It is a formal decorative with a 
slight wave in the petals. A brilliant coral, fine 
foliage, good growth, and an exceptionally good

EUGENIA BALLAY, I. D. 
Rich cream. This dahlia won as the Best Es¬ 
tablished three-year-old in keen competition at the 
Palace Hotel Show and can always be counted on 
to exhibit to good advantage. It is a very early 
and a very prolific bloomer. Under favorable 
weather conditions the blooms will easily attain 10 
to 12 inches with corresponding depth, and at all 
times will have very long, strong stems. In Cali¬ 
fornia everyone admired the color and general 
habits of this new dahlia. 
Plants $3.00. 
FRAU O. BRACHT (Berger 88) 
Bloom 8x4, Bush 5 ft. We believe this fine 
dahlia will win a host of friends in this country. 
It is a wonderful cut flower as well as a great 
prize winner at the shows. A clean-cut, straight- 
petaled cactus of a clear, light primrose yellow, 
keeping well and holding blooms on fine stems. 
A. D. S. Cert., 1929. It is just about the prettiest 
yellow cactus dahlia you can wish for. 
Roots $1.00. 
FULL MOON, F. D. (Ballay-Success) 
Canary yellow. Here is a variety that can 
truthfully be called a superlative dahlia. The 
large distinctive blooms, easily measuring 12 
inches across, are regularly formed of very broad 
flat petals that terminate in a perfectly full and 
artistic center. The thickness and strength of the 
stems are particularly noticeable and the flowers 
are always upright, never facing the least bit to 
the side. We have never seen a variety more 
consistent, every flower being massive in size and 
perfectly formed, and the foliage is always clean 
and bright. In 1932 this dahlia made a good 
start in the East, winning the Gold Medal of the 
Dahlia Society of California as the best Dahlia of 
California origin, and was also the largest dahlia 
in the show at Boston. This year it has been 
added to the Roll of Honor. 
Roots $2.00. Plants $1.00. 
GIRL OF HILLCREST (Scott-Kemp) 
1932, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. This excellent 
dahlia is classified as an Informal Decorative, but 
at times it is almost a Semi-Cactus. Flowers are 
artistic and well formed. Color, bright apricot 
buff; also described as a Mikado orange. Plants 
are very vigorous growers. Stems long and erect. 
In all, it is a very fine variety. 
Plants $1.00. 
GOOD NIGHT (Broomall 86) 
1929, Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. One of the pret¬ 
tiest dark dahlias we have had the pleasure of 
growing. Good throughout the season. Color, 
oxblood red shaded maroon. Its faults are hard 
to find, which is saying a great deal, as it has 
size, form and stem as well as being an early and 
profuse bloomer. 
Roots $2.00. 
GOLDEN ECLIPSE, F. D. (Badetty) 
Clear, golden yellow with slight blushes of sal¬ 
mon on some of the petals, shading to bright, 
rich salmon in the center. A pleasing, glowing 
combination of autumn shades that is as pleasing 
under light as in the open. A very hard variety 
to defeat in competition. Fine stems and a very 
vigorous grower. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants $2.50. 
GRANDEE, I. D. (Ballay-Success) 
A very large flower of a striking combination 
of Spanish red and golden yellow. The reverse of 
the petals shows a blush of russet red. Excellent 
stems and foliage. It was the outstanding dahlia 
on the Pacific Coast, winning in every show that 
it was shown. The originator claims that 15-inch 
flowers are no rarity. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants $5.00. 
HILLCREST NUGGET (Scott) 
This grand dahlia was winner of the Achieve¬ 
ment Medal in the Dahlia Society of West Vir¬ 
ginia Show 1933. This year it was one of the 
best at the trial grounds at East Lansing, Mich. 
It also made a splendid impression at the New 
York Botanical Gardens. 
Plants $5.00 Net. 
INDIANA MOON, I. D. (Martin) 
This variety was awarded a certificate at the 
Trial Gardens at Storrs in 1930 and found itself 
a place on the American Home Honor Roll in 
1931. This variety has won many first prizes in 
the Middle West where it was originated. It is a 
good dahlia in every way and grows without any 
forcing up around 10 inches and the blooms are 
held erect on long, stiff stems. The color of this 
variety is difficult to describe as there are so 
many colors in its make-up. The Trial Garden 
describes it as flesh ocher with faint lines of 
spinel pink running through some of the petals. 
With us it showed plenty of blending of colors 
to make it most attractive. 
Plants $1.00. 
JANE COWL (Downs 88) 
Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 5 % ft. This wonderful 
dahlia has been a success wherever grown. Color,

and rose at the center. Bush growth is ideal with

A dahlia that is sure to please you, for it is large 
and impressive. A. D. S. Certificate.
