AI KO (Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 10 x 4/ z , Bush V/ z ft. 
A most spectacular dahlia. Cardinal or deep car¬ 
mine, with a silver reverse showing at the center 
and tips, making it unusual. Bushes are strong, 
open growers. Reacts wonderfully well in heavy 
soil. This dahlia occasionally throws a flower off- 
form, which is easily forgotten in comparison to the 
number of perfect blooms, and we believe it will

give you the satisfaction it has given us. As addi¬ 
tional reports of the good behavior of this dahlia 
come in to us from all over the country, we find it 
is a much greater dahlia than we realized when it 
was introduced. Roots, SI.50; Plants, .75 
ALICE WHITTIER (Success 81E), Bloom 10x5, 
Bush 6 ft. Color, primrose yellow. An old variety 
that is still popular. A good grower on reasonably 
good stems. .50 
CARLA (Dahliadel 83C), 1934, Bloom 4|/ 2 x2, Bush 
4 ft. Color is buff, heavily shaded old rose and 
suffused violet rose, a rich contrast to the dark 
green foliage. The bush growth is compact, mak¬ 
ing a beautiful background for the perfectly formed 
flowers with full centers. Blooms seem to jet out 
all over the plant. Ideal in the garden and for ar¬ 
rangements. Will grow 5 to 6 inches if disbudded.

DAISY TURNQUIST (Hulin 83C), 1935, Bloom 8 x 
3, Bush 6 (/2 ft. An attractive addition to our vast 
dahlia family, distinctive in form and pleasing in 
color, which is between a violet rose and rose pink 
with a yellow shading at base of petals. This is a 
good keeper on stems long and erect. Certified at 
Storrs, 1934, scoring 85C. Roots, $3.50; Plants, $2.00 
FRAU 0. BRACHT (Berger 84C 86E), Bloom 9 x 
4 (/2, Bush 5 ft. This fine dahlia has made a host of 
friends in this country. It is a wonderful cut flow¬ 
er as well as a great prize winner, keeping well 
and holding blooms on fine stems. A cleanout, 
straight-petaled Semi-Cactus, at least it is classified 
as such, although at times the majority of petals 
revolute for more than half their length and allow 
it to qualify as a Cactus. Color, a clear, light prim¬ 
rose yellow. A. D. S. Cert. It is just about the 
prettiest yellow Cactus or Semi-Cactus dahlia you 
can wish for. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
GOOD WILL (Nuneviller 83E), Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 
4 Y z ft. Large attractive blooms of violet rose with 
bright rose shadings. The center is shaded sul¬ 
phury yellow. A tall open growing variety with 
strong, slender stems. Good stock is still scarce, 
but it should become very popular in the garden 
and on the exhibition table for its size and dainty 
coloring. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
JEAN TRIMBEE (Trimbee 85E), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 5 ft. Massive yet artistic with long, revolute 
petals that curl and twist. The color is a beautiful 
petunia violet making it popular as an exhibition 
dahlia. A tall, vigorous grower with long, erect 
stems. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
KARL BONAWITZ (Dahliadel 86E), Bloom 8x5, 
Bush 5 / z ft. The ability of this dahlia to with¬ 
stand varied climatic conditions throughout the 
country has won it many friends as well as many 
prizes. The brilliant, velvety carmine flowers are 
artistic and graceful in form. Although dark in 
color for a commercial cut flower, it is a wonderful 
keeper and arranges well with lighter dahlias. It 
comes the nearest to developing a perfect bush 
without topping or disbudding of any dahlia we
