CREAM OF GOLD. I. D. A particularly ro¬ 
bust grower that keeps soft and produces 
large blooms the entire season. It is a deli¬ 
cate, creamy gold in color that neither fades 
or burns, and of large exhibition size till frost, 
with an always tight center. The stems are 
absolutely perfect, 3 to 4 feet long, stiff as 
canes and carry the giant blooms facing up, 
or very near it, and neck is always strong. 
Height 5 feet. One of the best of my 1936 
introductions. Div. $10; Plants $5. 
GOLDEN MONARCH. I. D. (Almy-Viana). 
A giant dahlia from Africa that will produce 
as many huge blooms as any variety I know. 
The flower consists of extremely long and 
broad petals sharply pointed and with a very 
high full center, giving it great depth, as well 
as- diameter, and is easily in the Largest 
Bloom' class, and maintains its great size all 
season. A remarkably prolific bloomer and 
cane stiffs stems (always) from 2 to 3 feet 
long. Color is a beautiful deep gold with 
orange buff suffusion. A particularly rich 
and glowing color. Have frequently seen two 
10 inch blooms on one stem—not side by side, 
but one above the other and touching. A 
habit I never saw in any other dahlia. Plants 
3 feet and so sturdy they need no stakes. 
Highly commended at Ga. Trial Grounds for 
“huge Ex. blooms”. Also at Flemingsburg 
Gardens where it was ranked close to Lord of 
Autumn for size and quality of bloom. Div. 
$10; Plants $4. 
GIANT DEVIL DOG. I. D. (Almy-Am- 
brose). A bold, dashing flower, a giant in 
size and a headlight in the garden. It is a 
striking red in color and the originator claims 
will grow with M. Masterpiece in size. The 
plant is as sturdy as a tree and grows to 6 
feet in height with the immense blooms car¬ 
ried well above the bush on cane stiff stems, 
3 feet long, that holds them facing up or at a
