1934 
Submitted by Mr. Chas. Figel, Yorktown, Ind. 
In your catalog is a photo of “Bob” looking over his 
favorite Satan. Well, he is not more enthusiastic about it 
than I am. The snapshot enclosed is of the Satan Green 
Plant I got from you last spring and I say it is just a real 
Dahlia from the ground up. I approve of it without reser¬ 
vation. And what a nice clump! The Goodnight plant is 
just behind Satan with Jack’s Bean Stalk on the left and 
White Wonder and Orinda on the right background. I was 
a little bit early to see your garden at its best but I sure 
enjoyed every minute I spent there. Chas. Figel. 
BUCKEYE BRIDE, F. D. (94), LL., 6 ft. 
On Honor Roll for 3 years, wonderful pink, extra lonsr 
stems, rated 94, our best selling cut flower. We have never 
been able to grow enough of this variety to take care of 
our orders. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $1.00 
BUCKEYE KING, F. D. (88), LL., 5 ft. 
A very large, clear glowing amber-yellow. Stems are 
long, always good with all flowers facing. The bushes are 
very vigorous, after the crown flower many laterals are 
rapidly and simultaneously produced. Disbudding should 
be thorough to the base of each lateral. The flower is 
perfect formal type and was the sensation of our fields as 
well as at all shows. Its long keeping qualities will 
commend it to the grower of discrimination. Buckeye 
King is on Mr. Hart’s Roll of Honor. Originator’s descrip¬ 
tion and it lived up to it in our garden. 
CADET, S. C. 
Plants $3.00 Roots $0.00 
One of Ballay's California originations somewhat like 
the popular Satan in formation but in color a light prim¬ 
rose-yellow, almost cream. A long petaled, graceful 
flower, long stems on a tall bush. It made good in 1934. 
Plants Only $3.75 
CAMEO, I. D. (82), ML., 3 ft. 
Mr. Hart said in 1932, “Here my choice would fall if 
I had to pick out the most unusual and pleasing color 
among the novelties shown in 1932.’’ A true coral-rose 
with deep rose-pink reverse. A late bloomer with us. 
Plants $1.00 Roots $2.00
