AZURA _Inf. Dec. Rosy lilac with a bluish violet 
sheen. A very large deep flower which can com¬ 
pete in the “largest” class, many blooms meas¬ 
uring 12 to 14 inches in diameter. Plant tall and 
strong and free blooming and the blooms have 
a distinctive and interesting formation. This is 
not “just another rose pink” but the very best in this color range. Winner as Best Undissem¬ 
inated Decorative at the San Francisco show. ...$15.00 Net 
CALIFORNIA PEACH— Semi-Cac. Bright coral or peach pink, a pink without any trace of lav¬ 
ender. Reverse of petals a lighter shade. Size and formation of this flower are very similar 
to Satan. It is a seedling of Satan crossed with Eagle Rock Fantasy and the foliage and 
general habit of growth are much like the latter. The good qualities of both parents have been 
improved upon, if anything, in this origination. A great bloom of Satan of rich glowing pink 
is a dream come true. California Peach was the great sensation at the Boston Show, winning 
there as the Best Flower in the Show, the Massachusetts Horticultural Society’s Medal as the 
Best New Dahlia, and also the Achieve¬ 
ment Medal. Winner also as the Best Un¬ 
disseminated Semi-Cactus at San Francisco. 
This variety will prove to be worth far 
more than we are asking but we do not 
want to make our prices out of the reach 
of many real dahlia lovers. As it is not an 
early bloomer it is well to allow the very 
spectacular crown flower to bloom for ex¬ 
hibition purposes. Included in all the 1936 
Rolls of Honor and we quote below state¬ 
ments of the impressions it made on the 
world’s greatest authorities on dahlias: 
Mr. Derrill W. Hart in the Flower Grower 
describes it as “A grand dahlia of real dis¬ 
tinction and beauty . . . and a dahlia that 
will make a high record of winning because 
of its size and distinction. You can get a 
perfect idea of this flower if you imagine 
Satan in a clear coral pink.” Mr. J. W. 
Johnston in House Beautiful states, “This 
is a giant semi-cactus, bright coral or peach 
pink. ... Its form together with the color 
makes it a spectacular dahlia and one 1 feel 
sure will make its mark in gardens and 
show rooms next year.” Mr. Leonard Bar¬ 
ron in American Home calls it “a flower 
not too large; carrying the flower erect and 
promises well ... a dahlia that won honors 
on both coasts.”
