BADETTY BROTHERS DAHLIAS 
GOLDEN ECLIPSE 
A truly great formal decorative of rich golden yel¬ 
low shading to warm salmon at the center. This flow¬ 
er, carried on strong stems 4 to 5 feet in length, pre¬ 
sents a stately appearance on the plant and on display. 
It is recognized as an example of the true type formal 
decorative under the new A. D. S. classification, the 
blooms growing to 10 inches in diameter and are of 
great depth. The plant is a clean open grower reach¬ 
ing a height of 6 to 7 feet and is all that could be de¬ 
sired in respect to vigorous healthy growth. As an 
exhibition variety it has a long list of winnings to its 
credit including a Certificate of Merit at Storrs, Conn., 
many firsts and special awards and it is also an “Hon¬ 
or Roll” dahlia. Golden Eclipse excels as a cut flow¬ 
er with popular color, strong stems and long keeping 
qualities. Early planting of this variety is recom¬ 
mended to assure a long blooming season.

JAMES KIRBY 
A superb informal decorative. This is a strikingly 
beautiful flower often referred to as resembling a 
glowing ruby in color. Its dazzling brilliance com¬ 
bined with richness is not matched by any other dahlia 
in cultivation. It may be briefly described as crim¬ 
son blending to a deeper ruby shade at the center, a 
color that does not burn in the sun. The plant is a 
vigorous grower reaching 7 feet in height with the 
blooms correctly poised on strong stems 4 to 5 feet 
in length. It has been a consistent winner since scor¬ 
ing as best 1933 introduction in New York, is an Honor 
Roll dahlia and has received a Certificate of Merit at 
Storrs, Conn. In addition to being an exhibition va¬ 
riety of marked merit, it possesses those rare qualities 
that have placed it in the lead as a cutting variety. 
While it is still a new dahlia, its rapidly growing popu¬ 
larity as a red rivals that of Jersey’s Beauty in the 
pink class. Field grown stock. Roots $1.00 each 
MINIATURES 
ECLIPSE JR., MFD. A winner in New York as the 
best undisseminated miniature in the 1935 Show at 
the Pennsylvania Hotel. Perfection of type and 
stiff wiry stems that hold the flowers facing at the 
correct angle are striking characteristics of this 
new variety. Contributing to its real charm is the 
color—a pure cadmium deepening at the center. 
The plants are vigorous, healthy growers, 3% to 4 
feet in height and are free bloomers. Eclipse Jr. 
has proven a favorite wherever seen during the past 
season and is prominently featured in at least two 
of the 1935 Honor Rolls of dahlias. We recom¬ 
mend it as one of the most perfect miniatures to 
date and a sure winner. Plants only $1.5o
