OMAR KHAYYAM, F. D. (88), LL., 5 ft. 
A much admired giant. Color, a Chinese red at the base 
of petals and shading to a bright orange and tipped 
lighter, giving the huge blooms a wonderful soft color 
effect. The flowers which can easily be grown over 10 
inches in width are held erect facing sideways, well above 
the foliage on cane-like stems that can be cut from 4 to 6 
feet in length. This variety has won many prizes and is 
good as a cut or exhibition flower.

ORIENTAL BEAUTY, S. C. (85), SL., 4 to 5 ft. 
A clear, true bright tyrian pink. Stems and habit of 
growth are perfect but a poor root maker. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $ .75 
ORIENTAL GLORY, I. D. (85), LL., 5 ft. 
One of Indiana’s finest introductions. A brilliant deep 
orange of irresistible beauty. Fine plants, insect resisting. 
Winner at World’s Fair, Achievement Medal at Indiana 
show and on 1933 Honor Roll. 
Plants $3.75 Roots $7.50 
ORINDA (89), LL., 6 to 7 ft. 
The tallest, most vigorous bushes, longest stems, and one 
of the largest flowers. The color is rosolane purple, one 
shade deeper than Mrs. I. de Ver Warner. A great 
favorite of all visitors. On Roll of Honor. A well 
grown Orinda bloom is hard to beat in its color and I am 
sure a lot of our customers will agree. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $1.00 
PALO ALTO, S. C. (90), LL., 5 to 7 ft. 
Salmon in two tones -- bright pinkish salmon through¬ 
out the flower but shading quite perceptibly to a sort 
of salmon gold at the center. Color is positive and 
clear both in and out of doors ; size conservatively 
10 to 12 inches across by 6 inches deep ; moderate Semi¬ 
cactus formation perfect, with centers always closed and 
all alike ; stem stalks very tall, straight and long-jointed ; 
blooms freely both early and late ; good substance and so 
lasts well when cut. Winner of the Achievement Medal at 
Detroit, 1933, and dozens of first prizes throughout the 
country. A nearly perfect dahlia. 
Plants $2.50 Roots $5.00 
PRINCE OF PANTOPS, I. D. (85), LL., 4 ft. 
An unusually pleasing ruffled variety from Dr. Scott’s 
Hillcrest Gardens. The blooms are very artistic — the 
petals twist and curl. The color is orange-peel and the 
blooms are held on perfect stems. A prolific bloomer and 
the bush is strong, healthy and insect resisting like all 
Hillcrest varieties. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $1.00 
PRINCE OF PERSIA, F. U. (90), LL., 5 to 6 ft. 
One of the 1931 introductions of California that made 
good. The immense blooms, frequently 12 in., are of the 
deepest, glowing crimson, with an even darker iridescent 
sheen, giving the flower the appearance of velvet. Plants 
very robust, dark foliage, stems long, stiff and straight, 
hold the bloom well out of the foliage. This red attracts 
as much attention in the garden as any of the new ones 
regardless of the price. 
Plants $ .50 Roots $ .75 
RAINBOW’S END, I. D. (85), LL., 5 ft. 
(Bissell) A large scarlet strongly shaded Strontium yellow 
and with yellow petaloids. A strong, sturdy variety, early 
flowering and insect resisting to a good degree. Free 
branching with long stems. It won first at Akron in the 
three bloom undisseminated class. 
Plants $1.75 Roots $3.75 
ROBERT EMMETT, I. D. (80), ML., 4 ft. 
(Dahliadel) A new and very pleasing shade of red. A 
glowing red that does not fade with excellent heavy, 
dark foliage. 6 to 8-in. bloom. This variety did not come 
up to expectations with us. We used a cut of it in color 
on our 1934 catalog cover, but it did not seem to like 
the heat. We'll give it another trial.
