CALIFORNIA BEAUTY (Broomall 81C), Bloom 7x 
3t/2> Bush 4 [/2 ft. A pure copper in color. We 
have found this variety to be one of the best keep¬ 
ers as a cut flower, and we have never had enough 
for the market. Bush growth and stem excellent.

ELLA MAY (Prentice-Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 7x5, 
Bush 5 ft. This dahlia offers you a good Cactus 
dahlia with a real good stem, although at times it is 
an Incurved Cactus. Flowers are large and deep, 
with full centers, suitable for exhibition or land¬ 
scape work. Color, deep crimson carmine, dark, yet 
rich and distinctive. Bush is a good grower . .50 
GOLDEN STANDARD (Downs 85E), 1935, Bloom 9 
x 5, Bush 4'/£ ft. We admired this dahlia when it 
won in the seedling class in Camden in 1933, as it 
is a warm buff shaded amber and gold. Very pleas¬ 
ing in form with full centers and evenly arranged 
petals. Bush is a good, open grower. Stem holds 
flower facing at right angles, which shows up well 
in the garden or when exhibited, although not easy 
to pack. Won as the best undisseminated Cactus in 
New York 1934, and also won the President’s Cup 
over all types in the undisseminated classes.

JERSEY'S DAINTY (Waite 85E), Bloom 7x3, 
Bush 5 ft. A dahlia that will not only win on the 
exhibition table but is good for cutting. It is truly 
dainty in color, white faintly tinged lavender, al¬ 
most pure white late in the season. A prolific 
bloomer with long, straight stems. Foliage dark 
and healthy. Popular with the florists. 
Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
JUGENDPRACHT (Wolf 84C 85E), Bloom 7x4, 
Bush 3/2 ft. A glorified Golden Sonne of about the 
same form and size, of a more pronounced coloring 
which is a clear yellow, suffused salmon rose, mak¬ 
ing it very effective for many practical uses, espec¬ 
ially when cut. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
MISS BELGIUM (Nagels 84C), Bloom 6x4, Bush 
41/2 ft. Blooms early and continuous on long wiry 
stems. Keeps well and is very useful for small bas¬ 
kets and arrangements as it is airy in form and 
popular in color which is an even shade of bright 
orange. Very effective with other graden flowers.

MRS. BRUCE COLLINS (Groll-Dahliadel 84C 85E), 
1935, Bloom 9x4, Bush 4 ft. We have received a 
number of favorable reports from the North to the 
South such as “most beautiful,” “exceptionally good 
grower,” etc. We have learned that it is an ex¬ 
ceptionally early bloomer and will often bloom be¬ 
fore it has had time to make a bush. Therefore, 
side pruning is advisable in the early season to start 
the bush. It is a primrose or light lemon yellow 
shading lighter toward the tips but of sufficient 
depth to show yellow under artificial light. The 
low growing bushes are fairly covered with blooms 
of exhibition size. Fine stems and a continuous 
bloomer. Roots, $5.00; Plants $2.50 
Golden Sonne 
GOLDEN SONNE (De Wilde 84C 85E), Bloom 7 x 
4, Bush 3 ft. This variety is one of the best yellow 
commercial Cactus dahlias grown. It not only gives 
you a quantity of early blooms suitable for most any 
use, but continues throughout the season. Flowers 
are of medium size on excellent stems and keep 
wonderfully well. Color, clear golden yellow, shad¬ 
ing to soft salmon rose on the outside petals.

WARREN CHURCH (85E), Bloom 8x4, Bush 5 ft. 
A sport of Ambassador which is decidedly different 
in color while in form and bush growth it is iden¬ 
tical. The color is soft violet rose shading to white 
at the center. A fine exhibition variety and a wel¬ 
come color in the Cactus class.
