SMITH’S WATCHUNG DAHLIAS 
Watchung-Beau, Cac. (207). $5.00 $10.00 
A very startling cactus of bright-red with 
yellow reverse. At Pluckemin Show the 
Cut-Flower-Market-Growers raved about this 
dahlia which means that it is striking, good 
stem, shipper, grower and prolific. The flow¬ 
er is about six inches. 
Watchung-Belle, I.D., (204). 5.00 10.00 
This is a very large phlox-pink with petal 
formation like Sunrise but plant habit is 
perfect. 
Watchung-Medal, F.D., (208)... 5.00 10.00 
An improved F. W. Butler — being more 
stocky and less variable in flower-color which 
is old-gold mottled brown. 
Watchung-Pearl, F.D., (146). 5.00 10.00 
Which was named pearl by mistake. It is 
pearl with autumn shadings but bright 
therefore unusual. 
Watchung-Prize, F.D., (202). 5.00 10.00 
Here is a lavender that is large and not 
tricky and in this class, I believe the best 
to date in every way. 
Watchung-Ruby, I.D. (7X). 5.00 10.00 
This is the red that has been watched by 
experts for two years and in spite of an 
already full red field this dahlia has a place. 
I believe this iB the best red informal decor¬ 
ative to date. 
Watchung-sensation, I.D. (201) 5.00 10.00 
This dahlia will have to be classified as an 
informal-decorative but is reaaly chrysan¬ 
themum form. It is a champagne-color and 
huge. This is the dahlia that was my choice 
for achievement winner. 
Watchung-Star, I.D., (106). 5.00 10.00 
This is a buttercup-yellow flower, 10 inch 
in size with 10 inch stem. While there are 
many yellows there are few of this shade 
and I know of none the equal of this one. 
Watchimg-Supreme, F.D.,(200) 5.00 10.00 
The shadings of this dahlia are like Amelia 
Earhart which in this class makes it a 
novelty of great importance. 
DERRING-DO DAHLIAS 
"CLASSIC" 
For a long time “The Elite” have asked for a refined dahlia— 
flesh-pink informal decorative, more flesh than pink, one that 
both for exhibition and cut-flower size. At last it is here, a 
has no peer, hence the name “CLASSIC”. 
The above is a re-print of my ad. before the “Write-ups” and 
it is therefore comforting to introduce a dahlia that has the 
approbation of recognized authority. 
Mr. Hart states in his “DAHLIA REVIEW" the following: 
“It was the best novelty in the 1933 Brooklyn Show and not 
since the introduction of Marg. Wilson in 1924 has such a 
distinctive pastel shade been shown. The color is warm, very 
defintie but very light pink, almost flesh color. Unlike some 
pastel shades it is attractive in full sunlight and under arti¬ 
ficial light as well. An outstanding grower.” 
At the A.D.S. Tral Grounds at Storrs, it won a Certificate of 
Merit and was “The most out-standing supberb growth.”

DERRING-DO BOUQUET (No. 8) 
This is a small burnt-orange cactus flushed pink that is so 
supberb that it has the distinction of being the first of my in¬ 
troductions to be named DERRING-DO in spite of a desire to 
hold that name for a large type. It is a clean grower and good 
bloomer or it never would have received that name.
