DAHLIAS 
ALICE STELLICK (Rindfleisch 82E), Bloom 8x5, 
Bush 6 ft. A b right crimson carmine with a dis¬ 
tinct white stripe in the center of each petal, with 
occasional blooms self colored. The petals curl and 
twist. Overfeeding or hot weather will produce 
weak stems at times on this variety. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
ARELDA LLOYD (Smith 85C 86E), 1934, Bloom 10 
x 6, Bush 5 Yz ft. A high score at Storrs of 87 in 
1933 and also the outstanding dahlia in the Trial 
Grounds for that year. Color, a clear lemon yellow 
with very light rose suffusion on ends of petals 
with a clear yellow center, or best described as a 
yellow Jane Cowl, as form and bush are almost 
identical. Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00 
BAGDAD (Redfern 84E), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. 
This dahlia has been very satisfactory for us. It 
is a beautiful, brilliant scarlet flame of wonderful 
size. Good bush growth and a good bloomer. The 
long stems hold blooms high above the bush. A 
prize winner. .50 
CONGRESSMAN WOLVERTON (Peacock 83C), 
Bloom 7x4, Bush 5 ft. This dahlia has a full high 
center which starts to open yellow and then devel¬ 
ops a rose suffusion as the flower opens. A good 
strong grower. .50 
CREAM OF THE GARDEN (ICemp 82E), Bloom 8 
x 3, Bush 6 ft. A very dainty, sulphury white, 
faintly suffused lilac. Flowers are of good size, 
held high above the foliage on long, stiff stems, 
and are produced in profusion on strong bushes. 
A late bloomer. .50 
DOROTHY DUKE (Duke-Dahliadel 84C), 1935, 
Bloom 6x3, Bush 5 ft. We find this dahlia very 
popular in the New York and Philadelphia cut flow¬ 
er markets, especially for funeral work and all other 
uses where a clear, light violet rose or orchid shade 
is required. One of the best keepers and easy to 
pack. Stems are stiff and slender, centers always 
full and blooms incessantly. A strong grower, pro¬ 
ducing large bushes. $1.00 
ELINOR M. RADELL (Felsinger 84C 85E), Bloom 
8x4, Bush 51/2 ft. The blooms, of good substance, 
are violet rose with a darker reverse and golden 
shadings toward base of petals. Certified at Storrs. 
It is truly outstanding because of its strong, rugged 
growth which withstands adverse growing condi¬ 
tions. It qualified equally well in color, stem, form, 
and size and is prolific in its flowering habits. Very 
satisfactory for us. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
Ray Warner 
RAY WARNER (Peacock 85C 85E), Bloom 8x5, 
Bush 4 ft. Can you imagine an Informal Decora¬ 
tive with long, pointed and twisted petals, on good 
stems, with low-branching bushes that need very 
little tying up, in a pink at least two shades bright¬ 
er than Jersey’s Beauty ? Centers always full, very 
early to bloom and a mass of color when not dis¬ 
budded. Is a favorite. Not a very good root 
maker. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
JANE COWL (Downs 84C 86E), Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 
51/2 ft. This wonderful dahlia has been a success 
wherever grown. Color, a warm buff and old gold, 
blending to apricot and rose at the center. Bush 
growth is ideal with strong stems holding the giant 
flowers upright. A dahlia that is sure to please 
you, for it is large and impressive. A. D. S. Cer¬ 
tificate. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
KENTUCKY RED (White 83E), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 
5 ft. One of the brightest reds, a flaming scarlet 
that will stand considerable sunshine without fad¬ 
ing. Flowers are uniform and bush growth healthy 
with attractive foliage. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
LADY LYNDORA (Hall 82E), Bloom 9x4, Bush 
3|/2 ft. This lovely dahlia is especially good in the 
pink class. A pure pastel pink, with size and stem 
to carry it through. Bush growth semi-dwarf, with 
exceptionally free blooming habits. -50 
ROYAL WHITE (Bruidegom 83E), Bloom 8x4, 
Bush 5 ft. A pure white dahlia which withstands 
the heat of the sun without burning. A strong 
grower with insect-resistant foliage. Good stems. 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
FORDHOOK EMPEROR (Burpee 82E), Bloom 9 x 4, 
Bush 3 1/2 ft. A glorious blending of rich salmon 
and rose, making a general effect of apricot. The 
healthy foliage, good substance of the bloom and 
the fine growing habits of this dahlia will make it 
a splendid addition to your garden, especially fol¬ 
low landscape effects. .35 
SHAHRAZAD (Newson 84E), Bloom 9 x 4, Bush 6 
ft. Flowers are massive with large, pointed, but 
rather coarse petals which curl and twist in an at¬ 
tractive manner. Color may be described as soft 
Tyrian rose, or according to Ridgeway’s chart, is 
rose color. Bushes and stems are exceptionally 
strong. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50
