AZTEC GLORY (Broomall 84E), Bloom 10 x 5, Bush

still a very interesting dahlia to grow. It is a clear 
picric yellow with deep, massive flowers of most 
artistic formation, held on strong, erect stems. 
Foliage is glossy green, having somewhat the ap¬ 
pearance of holly. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
DIXIE RAVENSCROFT (Seal 84E), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 3(4 ft. The face of this attractive dahlia 
shows a bright, russet orange while the reverse is 
lemon yellow. The blooms are large and deep on 
fairly strong, graceful stems. Its distinctive color 
makes it very showy. The bushes are robust and 
quick growing. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
GOOD NIGHT (Broomall 85E), Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 
5 ft. One of the prettiest dark dahlias we have had 
the pleasure of growing. Good throughout the sea¬ 
son. Color, garnet shaded maroon. Its faults are 
hard to find, which is saying a great deal, as it 
has size, form and stem as well as being an early 
and profuse bloomer. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
H. R. S. (Seal 8IE), 1934, Bloom 11 x 6, Bush 6 ft. 
A beautiful, golden yellow of distinctive form with 
numerous long, wavy petals and centers that are 
always full. Pinched out once, it develops into a 
well proportioned bush that gives you a quantity 
of flowers on long, slender stems. A very pleasing 
dahlia. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
LA FIESTA (Cordes-Eastman 84E), Bloom 12x5, 
Bush 5 ft. Deep sulphur yellow penciled coral red. 
There are interesting color variations in this dahlia. 
Out of the ordinary. At times the red blends with 
the yellow, giving almost a salmon pink effect. 
The lacy petals curl and twist, giving the flower 
the appearance of a chrysanthemum. Huge blooms 
are held well above the foliage on good stems. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
LORD OF AUTUMN (ALny 88E), 1934, Bloom 12 x 
6 , Bush 5(4 ft. The most talked of ’34 introduc¬ 
tion. We believe it is making friends the way 
Jane Cowl did and will dominate the yellow class 
in the showroom. It is a wonderful grower with 
clean, glossy foliage, stems strong and erect. The 
lemon yellow flowers attain a wonderful size and 
depth, and the long, pointed and twisting petals 
with beautiful center formation remind one of a 
large exhibition chrysanthemum. Highly recom¬ 
mended as one of the best exhibition varities. 
Roots, 55.00; Plants, $2.50 
WALDHEIM SUNSHINE (Peacock 84E), Bloom 10 
x 4(4. Bush 5(4 ft. This graceful dahlia is very 
popular. A true deep yellow that will show up 
yellow under artificial light. The reflex is darker, 
and there is a rich golden suffusion around the 
beautiful full, high center. The bush growth is 
good, stems are strong and erect. It is a sturdy 
grow'er and free bloomer. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
Lord of Autumn 
Myra Howard 
MYRA HOWARD (Glutzbeck-Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 
10 x 7, Bush 5/2 ft. A dahlia we are proud to have 
introduced. The color is a glowing combination of 
yellow cadmium and gold with tints of salmon, the 
entire effect being ochreous orange. Throughout 
the deep flower are petaloids, which give it distinc¬ 
tion. A wonderful plant and a thrifty grower, pro¬ 
ducing giant blooms freely on long, strong stems. 
Certified at Storrs, Conn., and has won many prizes. 
Reports from customers indicate this dahlia be¬ 
haves wonderfully well in the various climates. 
Georgia and foreign growers have been particularly 
enthusiastic. Roots, $1,50; Plants, ,75
