1934 
Submitted by Mr. Henry Arp, Williamsburg, Iowa. 
I am sending you a snapshot of my Dahlia garden. 
With myself and granddaughter trying to reach Orinda 
received from you last spring. The season was very dry 
and hot here all summer, but by watering I saved them 
all, about 70 varieties. Orinda was the tallest, 96 inches, 
with 8-inch blooms. It was the talk of the town. The 
other varieties I received from you also did fine. 
Henry Arp. 
CARDINALIS, F. D. (84), M., 4 to 5 ft. 
Brilliant cardinal red. Strong upright grower with long, 
erect stems. Profuse and early bloomer. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $1.00 
CARNIVAL, I. D., 5 to 6 ft. 
A large, clear yellow bloom with fine red lines the full 
length of the petal. A novelty that attracted plenty of 
attention. A 1933 introduction. 
Plants Only $1.25 
CHAMPOEG (87), ML., 3 to 4 ft. 
The unusual coloring of Champoeg makes it an especially 
attractive flower. It is a waxy canary yellow at the centre 
and shades into a salmon pink, which deepens in cool 
weather. Strong, sturdy stems hold the flowers well above 
the rough, thick foliage. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $1.00 
CITY OF TRENTON (90), LL., 6 to 7 ft. 
Bush 6 ft. Popular and still a winner on the exhibition 
table. In color, it is bright apricot, suffused gold, show¬ 
ing considerable rose on the reverse. The bush grows 
strong and robust, producing immense blooms on stems 
4 ft. long, a sensation in our garden. 
Roots $ .50 
CLOUDLAND GEM, F. D. (87), LL., 5 ft. 
A most unusual beauty. Color a cream white, shading to 
shell pink, towards the outer petals. Blooms grow to 8 
inches and are held erect on long, strong, stiff stems, well 
above the strong robust growing bush. Attracted plenty of 
attention at our gardens. If you want a real dahlia, this 
is the one. 
Plants Only $ .50
