CURTIS DAHLIAS 
Oakleigh Princess (S.C.) 1936— 
Another beautiful Semi-Cactus that we also had the pleas¬ 
ure to watch grow. It is rather a new color combination— 
Lemon yellow overcast with scarlet red. It is a seedling of 
Satan and much the same growth. The blooms are 10 to 12 
inches and half as deep, with long sharply pointed petals. 
Stems are very good holding the blooms well out of the 
bush. It won a certificate of merit and is well mentioned 
on the latest Honor Rolls. PLANTS, $5.00 
On Par'ade (S) 1935— 
This is one of the sensations of the dahlia world, and one 
that will make one rub his eyes to be sure he is awake, 
for imagine seeing a show dahlia of seven inches and over. 
Color, a bright, clear lavender, slightly tinted lilac, the flow¬ 
ers easily average seven inches, and with a little disbudding 
or forcing, can be grown much larger. The flowers are held 
facing sideways on long, strong, stiff, sturdy stems, well 
above the large, heavy, insect-resistant foliage of the tall, 
vigorous growing plant. PLANTS, $3.75 
Oriental Glory (I.D.) 1934— 
One of Indiana’s finest introductions. A brilliant deep or¬ 
ange of irresistible beauty. Fine plants and insect resist¬ 
ing. Winner at World’s Fair and won Achievement Medal 
at Indiana Show. On Honor Roll. Did fine for us.

Pink Spiral (C) 1936— 
This is a real find in a lovely pink cactus. The flowers are 
fairly large with fine claw petals which curve in making it 
very lovely. The stems are long and stiff holding the blooms 
facing. On Honor Roll this season. PLANTS ONLY,, $3.00 
Pride Of Austinberg (I.D.) 1936—

Palo Alto (S.C.)— 
Another of our best ones. One of the outstanding introduc¬ 
tions of all times and a sensation of the 1933-34 show sea¬ 
son. It is a finely formed flower of bright salmon and tan 
combination. Easily grown 10 to 12 inches on straight, 
long jointed stems. It is a fine dahlia for exhibition as a 
cut flower. Honor Roll 1932. ROOTS, $2.00; PLANTS, $1.00

uous bloomer. Winner at Cleveland as best keeper, also a
