GOLDEN ECLIPSE (F. D.) The orginators have most aptly described 
this in calling it a fool proof variety. The clear-cut appearance of 
the flower immediately appeals. It is a clear golden yellow shading 
to a warm salmon or flesh color at center. A vigorous grower to a 
height of 7 feet. Exhibition blooms may be cut with extremely long 
stems. A certificate of merit and a two-time Honor Roll variety.

mistake in featuring this variety in our 1933 catalogue. It has proved 
its worth for a cut flower as well as exhibition. The color is crimson 
shading to ruby at center. Plants are ideal growers with a heavy 
insect resistant foliage. You can not go wrong in trying it.

JANE COWL (I. D.) This giant flower is easily the most outstanding 
variety of the present generation. It is far too well known to require 
any lengthy description. However, for the benefit of any beginners, 
we will say that it is a glistening bronzy buff of ideal habits, and by 
all means try it. Roots 3 .50—3 for 31.00 
JEAN TRIMBEE (S. C.) The rich purple or petunia violet of this 
flower instantly attract. It has heavy petals which are not only 
revolute, but twisted and curled. Plants are good growers with long

JESSICA DRAGONETTE (S. C.) Our 1935 introduction which has 
made good throughout the country. Named in honor of this most 
charming and petite radio star at the 1934 A. D. S. exhibition in New 
York. The christening was made over the air in opening the show. 
Miss Dragonette said in part: “I have always admired Dahlias, but 
never expected to have one named after me. And now to have one 
of such exquisite beauty named for me, is an honor I appreciate 
deeply.” 
Comparison with the color chart shows the colors to be picric yellow 
suffused with Venetian pink. However, a description which we think 
more readily visualized would be peach and cream with a shading of 
deeper pink on the reverse of the petals. The type is semi-cactus 
almost bordering on the informal decorative. The petals turn in, 
making the huge blooms both deep and massive. The plants are rugged 
growing with good stout stems and produce an abundance of blooms. 
One of the few varieties on Derrill Hart’s 1934 Honor Roll.

salmon. Roots 3 .75 Plants 3 .50 
JUDGE SAMUEL SEABURY (I. D.) This Dahlia particularly appeals 
to us because of its soft pastel shadings. The color is flesh, or 
amaranth pink with white at the base of the petals. Heavy foliage 
and a sturdy grower. Roots 35.00 Plants 32.50
