WORLD’S LARGEST GIANTS OF THE SHOW ROOM 
17 
WENOKA (I. F.) 
A new informal decorative that attracted much 
attention in the East and Mid-West the past sea¬ 
son. The color is of rosy mauve. It is of ex¬ 
hibition size. Mr. Hart describes it as a formal 
decorative in his description of this variety on 
his Honor Roll in 1934. We did not grow this 
variety but our friends advised us to grow it, 
therefore we will offer only plants on this variety 
this season.

New and Standard Varieties that are Champions 
in Garden and Show Room 
ALBATROSS (I. Dec.) 
Soft cream shading to greenish yellow at the 
center, in cool weather the tips of the petals 
sometimes being lightly touched with apple-blossom 
pink. This new Dahlia is large as all popular 
new Dahlias must be, it has delightful and un¬ 
usual coloring, and the formation is strikingly 
distinctive with petalage suggestive of the water- 
lily. A huge pond-lily is what it looks like with 
its petals broad and flat at the base and turned 
upward decidedly at the tips. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
BETTY COLTER (|. Dec.) 
This is a most charming new introduction that 
has caused favorable comment from many of the 
most prominent judges in the East. Derrill W. 
Hart describes this variety on the American Home 
Honor Roll for 1931 as follows, “One of our 
favorites among the new Dahlias. The color is 
distinctive and pleasing, an even shade of light 
salmon red throughout, shading to old rose at 
base of long rolled petals. The flower is nicely 
formed on good stems.” 
Root $2.00 
BUBBLES OF HILLCREST (Inf. Dec.) 
This is a giant and of an unusual color which 
is magenta of a different shade. Made quite a hit 
with our visitors in 1934 growing in our test 
garden. 
Root $1.70 Plant $3.50 
CARO NOME (Inf. Dec.)* 
A rich, rosy pink, suffused lilac. Don’t worry 
about size, it has plenty size to meet the elite, 
great depth and wonder stems, the kind we pray 
for on the new varieties. Buy it. 
$2.00 
CHAUTAUQUA REGAL ( F. D.) 
For vigor and resistance to insects, the only 
Dahlia to be compared with this is Chautauqua 
Sunset which is very similar in growth of bush, 
stem and size of flower. The color is an un¬ 
usually rich and biilliant cardinal red with the 
reverse of petals shaded ivory. Small petaloids 
showing toward c liter of flower also shaded ivory. 
The bloom is truly magnificent, of the largest size 
on cane stiff stems and facing the sky. Also 
particularly long lasting when cut. 
Root $7.50 Plant $3.50 
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE (I. D.) 
The perfect white. The large, perfectly formed 
blooms are produced in the greatest profusion on 
long, straight stems. Begins blooming early and 
continues until frost. Plants are very vigorous 
and insect resisting. A certificate of merit Dahlia. 
Root $1.00 
CHAUTAUQUA SUNSET (F. D.) 
Most pleasing in color as it is a wonderful 
blending of sunset colors, gold, shaded old rose 
and coral. A great exhibition Dahlia. Growing 
habits are excellent with strong, straight stems 
and dark green foliage. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
CLARA BARTON (I. D.) 
An immense bloom facing slightly upwards on a 
long, straight stem, twelve inches to first set of 
leaves. Face of petals silvery orchid, reverse of 
petals deep lavender, general effect lavender. Bush 
growth medium height; a very prolific bloomer 
that never stunts. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
CHARLES G. REED (F. Dec.) 
Purple red. This is the color in plainest words. 
Exactly petunia red is what an authority on dress 
materials called it. Has won numerous prizes and 
is a Roll of Honor Dahlia. 
Root $1.50 
CELESTE (Dec.) 
Lilac pink overlaid with carmine. A very hand¬ 
some large flower that is attractive especially 
because of its peculiar shadings of color. The 
well-branched plant produces deep well-built blooms 
over a long period. There are no faults notice¬ 
able to take from the general usefulness of this 
valuable addition to Dahlias of this color range. 
Root $1.50 
DAILY MAIL (Dec.) 
The sensational giant of 1930 in England. We 
imported this variety and consider it one of the 
best of our importations in the matter of size and 
habits. The color is unusual in a Dahlia as the 
blending of deep yellow and orange shades give 
the bloom a soft, warm color that appeals to those 
who like delicate shades in a Dahlia. 
Root $1.50 
DIXIE CARDINAL (F. D.) 
This very large Dahlia is a most charming new 
variety. It has size aplenty and a color all its 
own. The stem could be a bit stronger to carry 
all the monster bloom erect. In some gardens the 
stems are perfect. The real beauty is not only 
in its size but in its Flaming Salmon that attracts 
all Dahlia fans. This is a new varietv. 
Root $3.00 
DONNA CALIFORNIA (Dec.) 
Deep rose pink suffused with lavender. The 
color is not new, but it is doubtless the largest 
Dahlia by far of that coloring. 
Root $1.00
