SAGAMORE GARDENS 
QUOTING DR. W. E. KENNEDY IN THE MID WEST DAHLIA NEWS FOR 
APRIL 1934 ON ANGELA MIA AND SAGAMORE PRINCE. 
“ANGELA MIA. F. D. White of good size and depth, near ball shape, is a 
profuse bloomer, insect resistant and the bloom will stand more hot sun without burn 
than any dahlia in my garden. I left the blooms on in the hottest sun to test their 
endurance. This is not a huge flower but in every other way dependable and desir¬ 
able.” 
SAGAMORE PRINCE. A formal decorative to near informal. Again not huge 
but such a quality red has not yet favored my vision. An intense, deep, restful red 
that the eye seemingly feels its depth like the finger's touch to velvet. Petal ege 
uniquely and artistically placed to form a most satisfying bloom. Never late, and 
generous in the extreme with bloom. A plant with foliage that will put any plant to 
a test to equal its endurance.” 
QUOTING A LETTER FROM CALGARY, ALBERTA, CANADA 
“I want you to send me a collection of your dahlias, and you send me whatever 
you can for the amount of money enclosed. Of course what I am interested in are 
large blooms, I do not want any small ones nor any droopers. You just send the 
best you can and if you have got to duplicate something I have it is alright with me. 
I have been so pleased with your collection I have had for the last two or three years 
that I want to continue to get them. The bulbs are small, but they grow into the 
most magnificent flowers you ever saw, some of them have been as large as 12 and 
14 inches across, and believe me you grow real dahlias. 
KING OF YELLOWS 
HONOR ROLL DAHLIA in the American Home Magazine for 1934. I claim 
this is the best informal decorative dahlia to date. It has a Certificate of Merit from 
Storrs. The color is a beautiful, buttercup yellow, held on a perfect stem, holding 
the flower well above the foliage. This flower is large and will go 9 inches' without 
disbudding. If grown to 4 canes and disbudded it will go much larger. The blooms 
are very deep and the petals are very narrow and fold over making it very beautiful. 
The foliage is perfect and insects have not bothered it. 
Tubprs $7.00. Plants $3.50
