SATAN, S. C. (Ballay-Success) 
An immense flaming red cactus with touch of 
gold at the center. Grown to over 13 inches 
which is very remarkable for a cactus. No dahlia 
in the World, we believe, is more sensational and 
spectacular than this giant cactus, while its 
tightly rolled and horn like petals complete a 
formation that is very attractive. Winner of Best 
Flower at both San Francisco Shows. At New 
York it was runner up for largest dahlia and on 
both Eastern and Western Rolls of Honor in 1931. 
Very highly praised by Mr. Derrill W. Hart. Also 
won as Best Bloom at Rockville Center, N. Y., 
and as Best Semi-Cactus at Rockville Center, Long 
Beach and New York.

SHAHRAZAD, I. D. (Newsom) 
Mr. Newsom’s great $25.00 dahlia, described as 
the Pink Jane Cowl, which it resembles very 
much in size and formation, and is destined to be 
equally as popular. A very soft, beautiful, clear 
pink, with wavy petals, huge in size, held on best 
of stems over a tall sturdy plant. One of the 
best in the Pink Class which contains such won¬ 
derful creations as Kathleen Norris, Dorothy 
Stone, Romance, Imperial Pink, etc. Extremely 
scarce here in the East.

dahlia of a rich royal red with a touch of gold 
at the tips of the petals, with an occasional yellow 
petaloid to enhance its beauty. Flowers might be

petals can be removed when withered and the 
centers will open out to perfect blooms.
