RED LION—I. D. Bright red. An¬ 
other large dahlia that serves 
the florists’ purpose well. A 
vivid red is always desirable 
when it has all the good quali¬ 
ties this dahlia possesses. 
Quantities of first-class blooms 
loaded the bushes until the 
very end which never fade or 
burn. Stems hold the flowers 
just right whether desired for 
garden display or for the 
house. The bloom is oval¬ 
shaped with broad heavy petals 
continuing well to the small 
pointed center .$1.00 
ROYAL FLUSH—I. D. Brightest scarlet. A sensational variety both as to color and size. One bloom 
we measured was liyi inches and there were larger ones. Considering that our dahlias receive 
only ordinary field culture, such blooms demonstrate the possibilities of this flower. Further¬ 
more, the brilliant coloring seems to accentuate the size. The formation is full and deep and 
the stem strong and sufficiently long. Performance was fine all season.$1.50 
STRONGHEART—F. D. Amber-gold. Another dahlia with no imperfections. This has always been 
one of our favorites and is truly a gem of a dahlia. Its size is of generous proportions, com¬ 
bined with great beauty of form and color, and it has a long perfect stem. While coming nearer 
to the formal type of decorative than any other classification, it is not decidedly formal, as the 
petals are longer and rather inclined to curve more than is usual with this type, especially in 
the late season. Mr. Hart deemed it worthy of a place on his 1932 Roll of Honor and it also 
won a Certificate of Merit at Storrs; also a Certificate in Holland. This variety has proven to 
be a very handsome and useful cut flower as well as an exhibition bloom. No other dahlia has 
exactly the same color. One of the leading catalogues in the country describes it as being one 
of the most admired dahlias in the garden and one of the best sellers.$2.00 
SATAN —S.C. Flaming red with a slight 
touch of gold at the center. The 
very fine picture shown herewith 
was sent us by our customer in 
Japan. This 14-inch bloom won as 
the largest and best bloom in the 
show at Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. 
In previous catalogues we have 
listed a number of prizes won as 
Best or Largest in many of the lead¬ 
ing shows, including an Achieve¬ 
ment Medal. We told of its record 
at Storrs Trial Gardens and its 
place on the Roll of Honor, and of 
similar honors won at the World’s 
Fair, at New York, San Francisco, 
and other shows too numerous to 
mention. Satan has headed many 
popularity contests, such as the one 
conducted yearly at the Bronx Park 
Botanical Gardens, New York City, 
the “Garden Quarterly” on the Pa¬ 
cific Coast, and the one published 
this year in the Flower Grower. 
Doubtless it is the most popular 
dahlia in the world today. Certainly 
no dahlia is more sensational or 
spectacular than this giant cactus. 
A reliable New York grower reports 
he grew Satan 16 inches.$2.00
