CHAPPAQUA DAHLIA GARDENS 
STANDARD VARIETIES 
(Continued) 
LADY MOYRA PONSONBY (Informal Decorative) 
This variety originated in British Columbia, and is truly an addition to the Dahlia 
world. Pure golden yellow, with long, broad petals that are decidedly pointed at 
the tips. Huge size, great depth, but not a trace of coarseness. Blooms are held 
facing on long stiff stems. Very robust grower. 
Plants, $1.00 
LA FIESTA (Informal Decorative) 
Deep sulphur yellow, penciled coral red. The lacy petals curl and twist, giving the 
flower the appearance of a chrysanthemum; the blooms are large and are held facing 
sideways on long stems. The plant is a strong, robust grower, and averages about 
6 feet in height. A very striking Dahlia, that was very much admired in our gardens. 
Roots, $1.50 
LORD OF AUTUMN (Informal Decorative) 
The super-Dahlia, the largest, most beautiful yellow yet produced. The color is a 
rich deep golden yellow that never burns or fades. Blooms 11 to 12 inches by 7 to 9 
inches deep on cane stiff stems, 3 to 4 feet long. A good keeper when cut. With all 
these qualifications it must be great, and this one is. A Roll of Honor Dahlia. Our 
stock of this variety is exceptionally fine. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (Informal Decorative) 
Large blooms of glowing orange flame, borne on long stiff stems high above the foliage, 
prolific bloomer, strong vigorous grower. A high class Dahlia in every respect. 
Roots, 50c. 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (Informal Decorative) 
Most outstanding introduction in recent years due to its size. A sensation everywhere. 
A huge deep red shading to garnet and grows large without encouragement. Monster 
blooms throughout the season. Has been grown to 15 inches across. If you want 
this one, order early. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
MRS. BRUCE COLLINS (Straight Cactus) 
Primrose or light lemon yellow, and of sufficient depth to show up yellow under 
artificial light. The low growing bushes are fairly covered with flowers of exhibition 
size. Fine stems and a continuous bloomer. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER (Informal Decorative) 
A giant flower and an improvement on Murphy's Masterpiece. Deep crimson red 
blooms of huge size, held erect on long, stiff, almost leafless stems high above the 
foliage. Very striking and greatly admired everywhere. If you like them big, grow 
this one. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50
