One of the finest of all exhibition varieties. The color is

last we have the real thing. PLANTS ONLY, $h00 
Adirondack Sunset (I.D.) 1935— 
This aptly named variety has about everything a dahlia can 
offer; color, form, personality and splendid growing habits. 
At the New York Botanical Gardens it was the favorite by 
popular vote last year. The color is a brilliant scarlet red 
with golden tips, golden blushes on the reverse and a vivid 
light orange at the base ot petals. Tne center of the ilow- 
er is tipped golden orange. On honor roll.

not burn in the sun or batter in the rain. On the Honor 
Rolls. PLANTS, $1.75 
America’s Sweetheart (I.D.) 1935— 
One of the greatest yellow dahlias to date; pure in color 
without a particle of shading. The outer petals do not fade 
like some yellow dahlias. Flowers on top with long stiff 
stems. PLANTS, $3.50 
Arcturus (F.D.) 1934— 
This variety produces a high quality of large flowers. A 
large scarlet red suffused deep yellow and with yellow re¬ 
verse. The stems are uniformly good and of proper length. 
Its vigor is uniformly good. This was one of our most vig¬ 
orous dahlias last year and we can highly recommend it. 
ROOT, $1.50; PLANT, 75c 
Anna May Wong (I.D.) 1936— 
This is a huge flower; in color, a bright spectrum red with 
a light reverse. The twist and curl of the petals gives a 
silvery sheen to the tips and adds much to the beauty of 
the bloom. PLANTS, $5.00 
Adorable (I.D.) 1936— 
The best peach colored dahlia ever introduced. Color, a 
vivid peach, shading to an orange yellow glow at center. 
Petals are long and broad and twist near the tips. A vig¬ 
orous grower with good stems. Scored S6 at Storrs in 1931 
but was not released at that time so to increase stock of it. 
PLANTS, $2.-0 
Baby Royal (Miniature) 1934— 
A salmon pink semi-cactus miniature, extra good. On 1934 
honor roll. ROOTS, 50c 
Bette Davis (S.C.) 1935— 
A deep violet rose. A good grower with strong erect stems. 
PLANTS, $3.50 
Buckeye King (F.D.) 1934— 
A very large, clear glowing amber yellow that won wherever 
exhibited this fall. Stems are long, always good with all 
flowers facing. The bushes are very vigorous. After the 
crown flower, many laterals are rapidly and simultaneously 
produced. Disbudding should be thorough to the base of 
each lateral. The flower is the perfect formal type and was 
the sensation of the introducer’s fields. Buckeye King is on 
Mr. Hart’s Roll of Honor, 1933. Did extra good in our 
garden. PLANT, 75c
