CHEROKEE — Semi - Cac. 
Lavender pink with a 
light center. A positive 
semi-cactus which in 
some respects might be 
described as a very 
much improved Marion 
Broomall. Flower is 
large and deep with 
plenty of petals and the 
stems are extra long 
and straight. Since it is 
an exceptionally free 
bloomer it is invaluable 
as a cut flower and the 
color appears to partic¬ 
ularly good advantage 
indoors. This is an ad¬ 
dition to the rather 
weak true semi-cactus 
class that will be well 
received. Include Cher¬ 
okee in your 1936 gar¬ 
den and you will al¬ 
ways grow it. If you 
liked Elegance, ycu 
will like this one. At 
the very colorful San 
Mateo Garden Fiesta a 
large vase of 25 blooms 
of Cherokee was one of 
the big attractions of 
the show. Plant does 
best if allowed to 
branch early by cutting 
out the center.

MISS GLORY —Semi Cac. Apricot-yellow. This dahlia has been a close rival of California Peach 
this season. We cannot say which is the better. It too bears some resemblance to Satan but 
has finer petalage and is more incurved. The illustrations on the front cover depict its fine 
form and the soft, mellow color is quite entrancing. What California Idol is in the yellow 
decorative class this is to the yellow cactus. It is massive in size, yet an extremely refined 
flower in every sense. A free and an early bloomer with perfect stems. At Storrs Trial Gardens 
it received a Certificate of Merit with a score of 86. At Bronx Park Botanical Gardens, New 
York City, where it was grown under number, it was one of the most popular entrants. In our 
own display garden it was one of the general favorites. This is a real dahlia with a future. 
The following extracts concerning Miss Glory are taken from the 1936 Honor Rolls: From 
Mr. .1. T. Johnston’s very excellent review in House Beautiful: “This new one is a very large 
semi-cactus, adding another fine dahlia to this type for the year. The color is a soft apricot 
yellow; the petals are well rolled and considerably incurved. It blooms early and freely and 
has good foliage with long strong stems that support the flower nicely. . . . This dahlia is well 
regarded on the west coast, three different and capable dahlia fanciers writing me about it.” 
By Mr. Hart in Flower Grower: “Certificate at Storrs, 1935, and winner as best 2-year old at 
San Francisco, 1934. The color is a luscious pale apricot, and the judges at Storrs generally 
considered this one of the outstanding dahlias at the trial grounds this year.” Mr. Barron in 
American Home describes it as “most pleasing in decorative arrangements and in the garden.”
