DAHLIADEL NURSERIES 
MINIATURE DAHLIAS for 1936 
BUCKEYE BABY (Golden Rule D. F.), M FD, 
Bloom 2 / 2 ". This minature is really small and 
dwarf in height with good stems. A gold buff 
lightly shaded red on the reverse. Good habits of 
growth. Won at Cincinnati. Plants, $2.00 
CERISE GEM (Fisher & Masson), M S C. Bright 
cerise pink with gold at the base of the petals. A 
free bloomer with good stems. Well recommended. 
Received a Certificate of Merit at Storrs 1935. 
Plants, $1.00 
CHARD'S VANITY (Jarman), M C, Bloom 3|/ 2 
x 2. Fine bush growth and exceptionally long, erect 
stems. Then, of course, its beautiful, clear rose 
pink with the appropriate lighter shadings make 
this an outstanding and desirable variety. 
Plants, $1.50 
DOROTHY BRANT MILLER (Stevenson, S), M 
FD. An improvement over Little Jewel which 
should be very favorably accepted as Little Jewel 
will not bloom well in heavy soil. This variety is 
uniform in size and color and is surely outstanding 
in its blooming and keeping qualities. Plants, $1.50 
LITTLE DREAM (Bruidegom 85S), M C, Bush 3 Y 2 
ft. This variety was so outstanding and beautiful 
last season with its dense lacy foliage and beautiful 
flowers of real clear pink with pure white centers, 
that we really forgot to register the size of the 
blooms. It is such a perfect miniature, so evenly 
and artistically formed that it cannot be surpassed 
for a commercial, or on the show table in the Minia¬ 
ture Cactus Class. Plants, .75 
ORCHID LADY (Groll 85S), M FD, Bloom 3'/ 2 x 
21/2, Bush 4 ft. This variety, like some of our own 
introductions, runs so close to four inches that it is 
almost too large for a miniature, especially on the 
exhibition table. For a garden dahlia it is always 
a mass of blooms and it is good for cutting and 
home decoration. Color, bright violet rose or light 
lilac. Certified at Storrs and East Lansing, 1935. 
Plants, $1.00 
PEACH BLUSH (Dahliadel 85S), M FD, Bloom 2 x 
1 J/ 2 , Bush 18 in. Beautiful uniform blooms of rose 
pink with yellow at the base of the petals. Perfect 
centers until frost and it blooms incessantly. Stems 
are fine, making it useful for arrangements as well 
as attractive in the garden. Plants, $1.00 
PINK DAISY (Dahliadel 85S), M P, Bloom 3 in., 
Bush 2/ 2 to 3 ft. One of the prettiest and most 
useful small dahlias. For landscape or hedge effect 
this variety cannot be surpassed. Bushes are very 
broad across with literally hundreds of blooms at 
one time and blooms incessantly whether seed pods 
are picked or not. For arrangements stems are 
slender, yet stiff, and needs no disbudding. Bright 
rose pink, shading lighter at center of flower. 
There are two or three rows of nearly straight 
petals around a well proportioned yellow center 
reminding one of a double pink daisy. Plants, $1.00
