THE NEW DEAL 
Our 1935 3 Star Honor Roll Introduction 
KAY FRANCIS (S. C.) Winner of the Am. Home achievement medal 
at the 1934 A. D. S. exhibition. Somewhat similar to Frau 0. Bracht 
but slightly deeper lemon yellow in color and the blooms are much 
heavier formed. Plants are tall and should be quite well disbudded 
for best results. Roots §5.09 Plants S2.50 
KENTUCKY (F. D.) A sport of Jersey’s Beauty and identical in every 
way except color which is combination of soft salmon, orange and 
gold. Equally good as a cut flower as its parent. Roots $ .59 
KISS ME (S. C.) A very unusual bi-color of about four inches in 
diameter. The base color is garnet red with the petals edged and 
tipped white. An exceedingly free bloomer and a splendid cut flower. 
Should be a winner in the medium size classes. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
LOIS MARION (Cactus) A very pretty incurved cactus. The color is 
citron yellow in the center with the edges and outer petals soft 
shrimp pink. Grows tall, and blooms are of good size. 
Roots $2.50 Plants $1.25 
LONG HILL (I. D.) One of the few good seedlings from Jane Cowl. 
Color is gold and rose with a yellow center and rose reverse. Plants 
are vigorous growers, long stems and a fine bloomer. Roots $1.00 
LORD OF AUTUMN (F. D.) This was easily the most outstanding of 
all the 1934 introductions and a winner wherever shown on the ex¬ 
hibition table. The color is clear deep yellow and the size will com¬ 
pare with the largest. It has a long stem and is just about as ideal 
growing variety as we have today. Roots $5.00 Plants $2.00 
MARILDA (F. D.) This may best be described as a glorified Yankee 
Queen as it has the same soft pink shadings with just a slight mark¬ 
ing of white on the edges and reverse of the petals. The size is about 
8 inches under ordinary conditions. The plants grow about 4 feet in 
height and the blooms are held facing on a fine erect straight stem. 
Flowers last extremely well when cut and we predict a worthwhile 
future for it as a commercial cut flower. Roots $2.00 Plants $1.00 
MARMION (I. D.) A large exhibition flower of golden yellow with 
bronze suffusions on reverse. Long stems. Roots $ .75 
MARY HELEN (Ball) We were very much pleased with the reception 
given this, our 1931 introduction. We felt that there was a need for 
a good yellow Ball dahlia, and the satisfaction with which this has 
been received has justified this opinion. Mary Helen is the largest 
type of Ball dahlia with very fine erect stems. The color is clear 
glistening yellow. Roots $ .50 
MERIDIAN (In. Cactus) A fine erect, growing cactus of a delicate 
creamy pink with a soft blush cast towards the tips. Perfect stems 
and good form. Roots $ .75 
META SCAMMEL (I. D.) The many twisted and curled petals make 
this a dahlia of most artistic formation. The color is likewise most 
appealing, being amaranth pink shading, lighter at tips and reverse 
of petals. Makes a big bushy plant. Roots $ .35 
MINNIE EASTMAN (S. C.) The brilliant flame color of this instantly 
catches the eye, and the long cane-like stems, together with its fine 
healthy foliage, and free flowering habits, make up the sort of a 
dahlia which we all like to see. Color is flame with an undershading 
of deep yellow. Roots $ . *5 
MISS HARRIET HOCTOR (I. D.) Our 1931 introduction. It is of the 
largest size, the blooms being very full and deep. The color is true 
purple, which glistens when the sun is shining on it. It grows tall 
and for best results should be topped when about a foot high.
