Adirondack Sunset (I. D.) 1935—This aptly named var¬ 
iety has about everything 1 a dahlia can offer: color, 
form, personality and splendid growing habits. At the 
New York Botanical Gardens it was the favorite by 
popular vote this year. The color is a brilliant scarlet 
red with golden tips, golden blushes on the reverse and 
a vivid light orange at the base of petals. The center 
of the flower is tipped golden orange. On honor roll. 
Plants $5.00 
Bette Davis (S. C.) 1935—A deep violet rose semi-cac¬ 
tus, a clear, lovely color that never blotches. P’ine, 
long stems with very graceful foliage. Plants $5.00 
Black Knight (I. D.) 1935—We are unable to find a 
color in Ridgeway’s color chart that matches the color 
of this giant dahlia. The nearest we can come to it is 
dark velvety maroon, almost black. The flowers are 
of great size, often up to 14 inches in diameter, and 
are held high above the foliage on thick, stiff stems. 
Plants $3.75 
Bosphorus—(Inf. Dec.) Deeo burn"- orange or golden 
brown. A fine, large, well shaped flower in a color 
that is new in our experience. It is a dark flower, al¬ 
most as deep in the orange tone in the body of 
the flower as maroon is to red. but shades to a lighter 
orange at the edges of the petals. Certificates of Merit 
at Storrs. Plants $7.50

clear bright lavender about the same size as Buckeye 
King. Plants $5.00 
California Idol (I. D.) 1935—This giant yellow has a 
coast-to-coast record as a 1934 winner. At the show 
of the Dahlia Society of California it won the Gold 
MIedal as Best Three-Year-Old Seedling. At Boston 
it won the Achievement Medal as Best Undisseminated 
Dahlia. It is one of the outstanding varieties at Storrs 
this year. It is a fine grower with a deep flower of 
clear, glistening yellow, a true pastel shade. Here will 
be a new competitor in the specimen bloom classes.
