SUCCESS DAHLIA GARDENS, LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS 
SANHICAN’S CAMEO 
Its wonderful color will bring it within the 
scope of the new A. D. S. demand for “distinc¬ 
tiveness.” The color is a true coral-rose with a 
glistening golden sheen on the face of petals and 
deep rose pink color on reverse of petals. This 
deeper tone on the reverse of petals adds greatly 
to the appearance of depth. An extremely beau¬ 
tiful flower in davlight and even more so under 
artificial light. Free bloomer and an excellent 
keeper when cut, frequently there are from four 
to six exhibition blooms out at one time. Plants 
are of medium tall habit of growth and have dark 
green insect-resisting foliage. Stems long and 
straight and carry flowers well above the foliage. 
Root $3.00 
SATAN (S, C.) 
Flaming red with a slight touch of gold at the 
center. The exquisite coloring is at once fascina¬ 
ting, but what formation and stems. The horn¬ 
like petals, perfectly rolled and incurved, give 
rare form and character to a flower of unusual 
brilliancy. The rugged, almost leafless, stems give 
the impression of being nearly as thick at the top 
as at the base. No Dahlia in existence, we 
believe, is more sensational and spectacular than 
this giant cactus, and it appears to be the most 
popular Dahlia in the world today. Wherever ex¬ 
hibited it becomes the general favorite.

SONNY BOY (I. D.) 
A monster old rose slightly striped and tinged 
old gold Dahlia that made an excellent record 
the past year, winning in all the major shows 
where exhibited. Best bloom in a 1934 exhibition. 
It grows 11 inches across and 8 inches deep and 
sometimes larger in the open field without fer¬ 
tilizer or irrigation. It is a hardy variety, insect 
resisting and makes a good bush of medium 
height; is a very prolific bloomer; flower stems 
good. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
STEGMAN (Cactus) 
This is a very unusual Dahlia on account of its 
red stems and colored foliage. The color of the 
bloom is a rich maroon, a prolific bloomer, stiff 
stems and has never been listed in the East to our 
knowledge. It made many friends where it was 
in our display in Boston. Stock limited. Some¬ 
thing new. 
Root $1.00 
STRONGHEART (F. D.) 
Amber-gold. Another new Dahlia with no im¬ 
perfections. This has always been one of our 
favorites and is truly a gem of a Dahlia. Its size 
is of generous proportions, combined with great 
beauty of form and color, and it has a long 
perfect stem. While coming nearer to the formal 
type of decorative than any other classification, 
it is not decidedly formal, as the petals are 
longer and rather inclined to curve more than is 
usual with this type, especially in the late season. 
Root $2.50 Plant $1.50 
SULTANA (Dec.) 
Bright scarlet shading to a gold center, the 
brightest, most pleasing color imaginable, of 
velvet-like texture, reverse of petals also gold. 
Here is another Dahlia of enormous size, which 
continues until quite late, but it was at the height 
of the season that this variety made its special 
appeal. It is one of those that calls to you from 
across the field, and there are still many people 
whose favorite color in Dahlias is red. This is 
one that is hard to beat in its class and has 
every good quality. One of our best Dahlias. 
Root $1.00 
SUNFLOWER (Inf. Dec.) 
The originator describes the imported variety as 
follows. A huge flower, in fact one of the 
largest that we have grown. Color, deep yellow. 
Flowers are very full and the florets, although big 
and broad at the base, are definitely although 
bluntly pointed. The plants are healthy growers 
and flower early, continuing to produce good 
flowers till the end of the season. Introduced for 
the first time in this country. 
Root $2.00 
THE DUCHESS (Inf. Dec.) 
This is one of the most attractive Dahlias that 
we have ever grown and we had many inquiries 
from visitors at the New York Botanical Garden, 
where we had it growing in 1934. It is a clear 
bright yellow at center and greater part of petals, 
but heavily tipped with pure white. The flowers 
are large with the best of stems. Have grown 
this variety for three years and have never seen 
a flower that has not come true to this description 
which is unusual for a bi-colored Dahlia. Stock 
very limited. 
Root $3.00 Plant $1.50 
THE SHRINER (F. Dec.) 
Formal decoratives are not very plentiful es¬ 
pecially in new color combinations, but in this 
new Dahlia we have something really different in 
color, a rich Oriental red, with all the center 
petals edged and tipped gold and an overcast of 
lavender almost like a haze. Have never seen a 
Dahlia of such a color combination. Stock limited. 
Root $3.50 Plant $1.50 
THOS. HAY 
A giant in very truth, of clear lilac color 
throughout, flowers deep, full and massive, with 
broad florets bluntly pointed. The stems carry 
the huge flowers with ease, and the plants flower 
with surprising freedom. This variety is almost 
identical in every way (except for its lilac color) 
to the now famous “Berengaria.” One of the 
best Dahlias in our garden. 
Root $1.00 Three Roots $2.00 
TREMENSE (Dec.) 
This is a very large flower held erect on the 
best of stems and the plant produces plenty of 
bloom of exhibition size. The color is sort of a 
salmon rose as grown in the East, with pale 
yellow at base of petals. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
VICTORIA (Incurved Cactus) 
Without doubt this incurved cactus tops all other 
Dahlias of this type. No collection is com¬ 
plete without a few of the best cactus Dahlias. 
We have tried out many and this is the best in¬ 
curved rich yellow that has been produced to date. 
Root $2.00 Plant $1.00 net 
WHITE WONDER (Inf. Dec.) 
The bush grows to a height of 5-6 feet, is wide 
spreading and many branched, from the ground up, 
making it possible to cut large blooms on 2-4 foot 
stems. Foliage is very thick and leathery like, 
rendering it practically immune to insect injury. 
Root $2.50 Plant $1.25 
YELLOW WONDER (Inf. Dec.) 
This is another of the celebrated Broomall in¬ 
troductions that has made good. The color is a 
deep rich yellow, the blooms are very large and 
held erect on long stiff stems. If you are inter¬ 
ested in a first class exhibition flower at a low 
price, try this one.
