CACTUS and SEMI-CACTUS 
DAHLIAS—Continued 
Color, clear primrose yellow with a tinge of pink- 
on reverse of petals. This variety was a very close 
runner-up to Milton J. Cross at Camden Show and 
would have been a worthy winner had its superior 
not been there. I believe this variety is going to 
make its mark in the show room especially in the 
Semi-Cactus classes as it is well proportioned and 
balanced in form, size and stem. Blooms open back 
almost to the stem. Foliage medium dark which 
makes the flower outstanding. 
Roots, $15.00; Plants, $7.50 
RED JUG (Preas-Ruschmohr), 1C or S-C, 1935, 
Bloom 8 Yz x 5, Bush 6 ft. This remarkable bril¬ 
liant crimson or cardinal red dahlia with yellow tips 
has wonderful keeping qualities and cane stiff stems 
that hold the flowers perfectly facing. Foliage is 
insect-resistant. Won as the best undisseminated 
Semi-Cactus in Rockville Center and Valley Stream, 
N. Y. and Camden, N. J.; as well as the best un¬ 
disseminated dahlia shipped over 500 miles by aero¬ 
plane in the Mid West Show at Cleveland. Certi¬ 
fied at Storrs, 1935. Roots, $10.00; Plants, $5.00 
TREASURE CHEST (Dahliadel 85C 85E), S. C. 
Bloom 81/2x6, Bush 4 ft. Called Rainbow’s End 
early last fall. Too many of our new dahlias pro¬ 
duce just a few exhibition blooms and some of these 
only toward the end of the season. Treasure Chest 
produces beautiful, perfectly formed blooms as early 
as any variety in our fields and flowers are still 
perfect at frost. The blooms grow in water and 
are better after two or three days inside, making 
it ideal as a cut flower, beautiful for baskets and 
all decorations. Soft golden yellow, lightly suffused 
coral red similar in color to a light Jane Cowl but 
richer tones. A very practical dahlia with long 
slender stems. Plants, $5.00 
VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME 
_ AT DAHLIADEL _ 
We are always glad that Dahliadel -friends stop in 
on their way to the shore, New York, or Philadelphia. 
During September and up until frost, (late October), 
they enjoy seeing over forty acres in full bloom; and 
if, perchance, they come before the fields are in 
bloom, a trip through the cellars and greenhouses is 
instructive and interesting. If you plan to come to 
this section next fall, let us send you directions show¬ 
ing auto routes to Dahliadel. 
Our Field Days are becoming more popular each 
year. The interest displayed in the dahlia as shown 
by these hundreds of visitors is more noticeable. We 
value the friendship of our customers and appreciate 
their encouraging letters, and are looking forward 
to Field Days again this next fall with even greater 
interest and enthusiasm. If you cannot visit us here, 
we shall be glad to meet you at any of the Fall 
Flower Shows where we exhibit or judge.
