DECORATIVE DAHLIAS—Cont’d 
ALICE IN WONDERLAND (Dahliadel 85E), 1934, Bloom 9x6, 
Bush 5 ft. First of all, this dahlia is a most beautiful shade of 
soft salmon, petals delicately edged bright rose. This picture can 
give you only an idea of the distinct new form with the full high 
center and long, pointed petals that curve backward to the stem 
adding to its depth. Good habits of growth, but is at its best in 
cool weather. We believe this dahlia is destined to become as 
popular as its name. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
ANDREA ERICSON (F. & M. 85E), Bloom 9x4, Bush 4J4 ft. 
The easiest way to describe this dahlia is to call it a white Fort 
Monmouth. It is somewhat heavier in petal formation, but very 
pleasing in form. Held on excellent stems, it is very successful 
in the white class on the show table. In hot weather, however, 
this dahlia needs partial shading to be grown to exhibition 
perfection. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
DOKOUPIL’S TRIUMPH (Dokoupil 82E), Bloom 12 x 4, Bush 
4 !/2 ft. A dahlia that is different in color to any of our giant 
dahlias as it is a light straw color, shaded or suffused light violet 
at the center and on the reverse of petals. A neutral combina¬ 
tion suitable for use with other flowers, but its size is its main 
quality. It is somewhat irregular in formation but massive. 
Stems are very good and bush in general very satisfactory. It 
should be topped twice to eliminate green centers. 
Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
EARLY YELLOW, Bloom 4[4 x 2, Bush 4 / 2 ft. A good cutting 
variety of bright lemon yellow of artistic formation, lending 
itself well for table and small decorations or as a filler with 
larger flowers. Very prolific, with good, long, slender but stiff 
stems. .35 
FORT MONMOUTH (Kemp 85E), Bloom 11 x 4, Bush 6</ 2 ft. 
The predominating color is rich claret with brightness unusual in 
darker tones. Flowers are full-centered and well formed, borne 
on long, stiff stems high above the foliage. A very prolific 
grower and bloomer. Still a winner on the show table and fine 
for cutting. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
LINCOLN G. DICKEY (Dahliadel 84E), Bloom 9/ 2 x 5, Bush 
3 y 2 ft. Color, primrose yellow with a decided rose suffusion. 
One of the earliest to bloom. The growing habits are ideal, 
making this dahlia very satisfactory. .50 
MASTODON (Stredwick), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 4 ft. Very similar 
in form to Lincoln G. Dickey, but the petals curl even more and 
are more numerous. Bush healthy and stems strong and erect. 
Color, rich amber or apricot. Plants, $1.59 
NEW GLORY (Trostle 82E), Bloom 7x3, Bush 5 ft. A striking 
combination of purple garnet tipped white and a popular winner 
in the bi-color class. Bushes are strong and healthy and stems 
erect. Plants, .50 
WHITE WONDER (Black-Kemp 81E), Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 514 ft. 
The giant blooms are pure white with long, pointed, twisted, and 
curled petals, giving the flower a light, fluffy appearance. This 
dahlia comes to us as a cross of Fort Monmouth and Ida Perkins. 
The bush is a strong, vigorous grower, branching from the 
ground. Stems long and stiff. Foliage thick and leathery. It 
is a very good root-maker and well worth your trial. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75
