outstanding in color and is very attractive as dis¬ 
played in Cleveland where it won as best Formal 
Decorative and best keeper. Won an Achievement 
Medal at Indiana State Show and one in Cincinnati. 
Scarlet pink or light cherry red. Plants, $7.50 
RUDOLF'S GIANT (Rudolf), ID, 1936, Bloom 12 x 
7, Bush 41/2 ft. The flower, in addition to having 
size, has depth and the centers are tight and com¬ 
pact. It is a live buff with apricot and pink suffu¬ 
sions which gives a glowing effect. It holds full 
centers through the season, has good stems and 
excellent foliage. Certified at Storrs 1934. A real 
giant. Plants, $7.50 
THE UNIVERSE (Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 3 1/2 ft. An Informal Decorative seedling of 
The World but darker and richer in color without 
the silver shadings. In form the petals are more 
pointed and following its parent, the centers are al¬ 
ways full throughout the season. Stems erect and 
bush growth good. This variety can be especially 
recommended where seasons are short, as it develops 
very quickly and blooms early. Plants, $5.00 
WHITE ABUNDANCE (Ballego), ID, 1935, Bloom 
10 in. Th is dahlia comes to us well recommended 
and with many awards to its credit. Especially 
noteworthy is the award of merit at Wisley, Eng¬ 
land, 1935. Flowers of beautiful waxy white are 
held well out of the foliage on strong, erect stems. 
Fine for cutting and exhibiting. Plants, $2.50 
WHITE PROLIFIC (E. & M. Williams-Dahliadel 
85C), FD, Bloom 6x4, Bush 4 1 /-; ft. There are 
very few whites which are satisfactory for the com¬ 
mercial grower but this one with notched petals has 
proved so good for us that we are introducing it at 
a reasonable price for those who need an all around 
white which is an early and continuous bloomer and 
has excellent stems, ft should be topped twice and 
the centers will be perfect throughout the season. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
The Universe 
Minnora 
MINNORA (Berwick-Dahliadel 85E), ID, 1936, Bloom 
10 x 6, Bush 5 ft. This variety has not been enter¬ 
ed in competition as far as we know. It is a very 
pleasing form and color with bush growth, stems 
and foliage ideal. In color it is a bright apricot 
suffused violet rose with a decided deep red suffu¬ 
sion on reverse of petals making an unusual but 
pleasing color combination different to other dahlias. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50
