nearly solid red. A very popular cut flower and a wonder¬

LORD OF AUTUMN, I. D. (94), LL. ' / 
(Almy Kemp) 1934. We'take much pleasu}’ e in'calling 
your attention to this great yellow dahlia^, which in our 
opinion is the most outstanding and sensational dahlia 
ever introduced, regardless of color. Its rich golden 
yellow flowers do not bleach or burn, even in the most 
intense sun heat. The flower, of immense size, ca'n be 
grown to 13 in. and over in width by'7 to 9 in. in depth, 
and are held high above fhe luxuriant foliage on stiff 
stems. Plant grows to five feet in-l^efght, wide spreading 
and many branched, each branch being crowned by a giant 
bloom. It is no uncommon thing to see two to five giant 
blooms on a plant at a time. Continuous bloomer from 
midseason until cut down by frost. This great' dahlia was 
awarded more first prizes in the classes for the largest and 
most perfect bloom than any other dahlia shown in the 
1934 shows. A good‘specimen flower-of it is simply un¬ 
beatable. You cannot afford to overlook this dahlia if you 
have hopes of winning in the specimen classes next sea¬ 
son. We had more 'requests for clumps of this variety 
last fall from other- growers than all other varieties 
combined.

LOUISE BATES, S. C. (85), ML., 4 1/2 ft. 
(Cordes-Eastman) A very spectacular flower of immense 
size. Grown naturally, the blooms average 8 to 10 in., 
but if the plant is pruned to four or six canes the flower 
will increase greatly in size. The color is a beautiful 
orchid-lavender. A most prolific bloomer and a real exhi¬ 
bition flower. Should be another Amelia Earhart.

MADAM QUEEN, F. I). (85), LL., 5 ft. 
If this was named after Andy’s lady friend it’s rightly 
named as it’s the darkest maroon we had in the 
garden of four hundred varieties. It’s a fine grower, 
coarse foliage, long stems, but too dark to be popular.
