PIONEER CITY DAHLIA GARDENS, MARIETTA, OHIO 
LONG HILL, I. D. 
Our choice for the most beautiful new dahlia 
that we grew this year. A combination of old 
gold and rose that is impossible to decribe. Large 
flowers with a twist to the petals that gives it an 
added charm. Excellent foliage and fine, stiff 
stems. Don’t miss it. We do not know the name 
of the introducer. 
Roots $3.00. Plants $1.50. 
LORD OF AUTUMN, I. D. (Almy) 
Declared by experts, the most wonderful yellow 
dahlia yet produced, several even saying the most 
wonderful dahlia of any color. A monster bloom 
12 x 9 inches, whose long, pointed and slightly 
twisted petals recurve till the stem is completely 
hidden for 8 or 9 inches. Cane-like stems hold 
the monster blooms facing up (like a giant mum), 
to facing you. The dimensions given are for field 
culture with absolutely no forcing or feeding and 
very slight (if any) disbudding. In other words: 
grown naturally, just as any amateur can grow 
it. Honor Roll 1933. 
Plants $5.00. 
MAN O’ WAR, I. D. (Boone-Ruschmohr)

ner in all sections.

NEW GLORY (S. Cac.) 
This new creation won several prizes on the 
Pacific Coast in keen competition in 1930. It is 
large, standing on a long, stiff stem, vigorous 
bushes, very free bloomer. A light ox-blood red 
with tips of petals blazed with white. The petals 
have a charming quilled effect near points. 
Roots $1.00. 
OMAR KHAYYAM (Stout-Dahliadel 86) 
1931, Bloom 11 x 5, Bush 6 ft. This much ad¬ 
mired dahlia was certified with one of the highest 
scores at Storr’s Trial Grounds in 1930 and was 
recommended for certificate at the New Jersey 
Trial Grounds. The unusual coloring is a Chinese 
red at the base of the petals, shading to a bright 
orange and tipped lighter, making a wonderful 
soft color effect. It is a tall, healthy grower, with 
strong foliage and, incidentally, a good root 
maker. We classify this dahlia as a Formal 
Decorative. 
Roots $1.00. 
ORIENTAL GLORY, I. D. 
(Delight-U Garden) 
There are so many dahlias following the same 
color tone that it is an innovation when one ap¬ 
pears with a shading that is just a little different 
than the other. Such a dahlia is Oriental Glory. 
The flowers are brilliant, dazzling balls of deep 
orange ; and how we need this color on the ex¬ 
hibition table. Fine, robust grower with excellent 
stems. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants $3.75. 
PALO ALTO, S. C. (Ballay-Success) 
Another good variety from Mr. Ballay. It is a 
blend of coral, gold and rose. The flowers are 
enormous and numerous. Fine growth and foliage. 
Plants $2.50. 
PAUL PFITZER, C. (Pfitzer) 
Sensational new pink and cream. An imported 
variety of much merit. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants $1.00. 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (Newsom) 
I. D., 1931, Bloom 11 x 6, Bush 7 ft. A very 
striking bright red exhibition dahlia of the most 
iridescent rich-glowing crimson. The petals are 
of great depth and substance, making an un¬ 
usually deep, attractive flower. Bush is vigorous, 
robust and very tall. This dahlia should be very 
popular, as its traits all seem to be good. 
Roots $2.00. 
RENATE MULLER (Engelhardt) 
An incurved cactus that is very tightly quilled. 
The color is a pleasing shell pink that shades to 
deep cream at the center. The high center holds 
tightly closed throughout the entire season. The 
flowers are perfectly formed and with ordinary 
field culture it averaged 9 inches. It is an excel¬ 
lent keeper and a fine exhibition flower. This 
dahlia is a fine tall grower and the long rigid 
stems hold the flower facing. There is no weak¬ 
ness in the stem and is a splendid bloomer. It 
should appeal for it is one of the few cactus 
dahlias that grows well and without fault of stem. 
Plants $1.00. 
ROBERT EMMETT, I. D. (Dahliadel) 
A new and very pleasing shade of red. A glow¬ 
ing red that does not fade. Medium to large in 
size, with excellent heavy, dark foliage. 
Plants $2.00. 
RUBY TAYLOR, I. D. (Garrity-Success) 
The clear self color is difficult to describe but 
the nearest color we could find in the color book 
was carmine. The habits of this dahlia are nearly 
perfect. It has long, stiff stems, is an open grow¬ 
ing bush, and needs no pruning to produce large, 
deep blooms. This variety was awarded a cer¬ 
tificate at Storrs Trial Garden in 1932. It also 
cleaned up everything in its class on the Pacific 
Coast last season, winning no less than six first 
prizes. We highly recommend this variety to those 
who want a dahlia so very much different from 
any of the newer ones going out this season. A 
sure winner. 
Roots $5.00. Plants $2.50.
