ELISSA LANDI (1934) 
This Dahlia, while not the largest, is we feel, 
one of the best we have produced and will meet 
the requirements of the most exacting. On the 
zurrent honor roll. 
It is a decorative bordering on informal of a 
very rich and brilliant salmon orange and the 
flower is held proudly erect well out of the rich 
full insect resistant foliage on long cane stems 
produced freely. 
The flower keeps exceptionally well when cut, 
and the rich color will last as long as the bloom 
keeps. This Dahlia does not burn or shatter.

LOUISE BATES (1934) 
If size and real beauty combined appeals to 
you this Dahlia will meet the test and be one 
that you can grow with pleasure and satisfaction. 
It is a clear, one shade, orchid lavender, semi¬ 
cactus of an unusual and artistic form on long, 
erect stems held high out of the fully resistant 
foliage and will produce an abundance of large 
flowers that hold a full center the entire season. 
This variety had, on a plant in the trial grouunds 
at Storrs, Conn., by actual count twelve blooms 
over ten inches across, open at one time and more 
than twenty buds in various stages. It can easily 
be grown to thirteen or fourteen inches without 
forcing. The flower can be kept to its full size 
on the plant for a month by removing the outer 
petals, the center keeps on unfolding.
