DAHLIADEL NURSERIES 
INFORMAL DECORATIVE 
DAHLIAS—Continued 
DERRILL W. HART (Broomall 83E), Bloom 9x3, 
Bush 6 ft. Color, deep orange or copper, shading' 
to henna brown. Has a good stem, keeps well when 
cut, and is a free bloomer. It is a rapid grower, 
with heavy, dark foliage, and should be cut back 
severely during the hot weather. .50 
EAGLE ROCK BEAUTY (Broomall 83E), Bloom 9 
x 31/2, Bush 5 ft. This fine dahlia certainly is a 
pretty combination of soft violet rose with creamy 
white center. Petals long and gracefully twisted. 
A pleasing and satisfactory variety. .50 
EDITH A. LEHMAN (Kemp), 1935, Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 5 ft. One of the 1935 introductions that is 
very favorably talked of and worthy of your trial. 
Color - , brilliant old rose with salmon suffusion. 
Stems strong holding flowers well above the foliage. 
Petals are rather broad and heavy giving the flow¬ 
er a rich appearance. Plants, $5.00 
ELIZA LONDON SHEPARD (Peacock 82E), Bloom 
9x4, Bush 5 ft. The rich coloring of this dahlia 
makes it very attractive. Bright golden orange ap¬ 
ricot so blended that it makes a one-tone spectacu¬ 
lar flower. Blooms of good substance with full 
centers are borne on long stems. Strong grower 
and free bloomer. .50 
JERSEY’S DAYBREAK (Waite 84C 83E), Bloom 8 
x 4, Bush 6 ft. This much admired dahlia is Her- 
mosa pink, shading to creamy yellow in the center. 
Flowers are of good size with high, pointed centers 
and hold their splendid form throughout the sea¬ 
son. The stems are rigid and the foliage is of 
leathery texture. One of the few dahlias that de¬ 
velops in water. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
LADY MOYRA PON SON BY (Elder-Lee 83E), 
Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 5 ft. Although we have a num¬ 
ber of good yellow dahlias this variety is of a pleas¬ 
ing, desirable shade of clear, light lemon yellow and 
enhanced by petaloids. The petals, broad at the 
base and decidedly pointed at tips, make it lean 
toward the Semi-Cactus. Centers are full, stems 
erect, and a good grower. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
MAN O’WAR (Boone Ruschmohr 85E), 1934, Bloom 
10 x 4, Bush 5'/ 2 ft. This dahlia has made a good 
record for itself by scoring at Storrs and a number 
of other winnings. In form it is similar to the ac¬ 
companying picture. Color is a rich dark carmine. 
Good foliage and good flowering habit. 
Roots, $3.50; Plants, $1.75 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (Murphy-Success 85E), 
Bloom 11 x 4, Bush 4 ft. The monster blooms of 
deep, dark red shading toward crimson are held 
erect on stiff stems. It is a stocky grower and in all 
a good dahlia. Comparing this variety to Dwight 
W. Morrow, it has better stems, but it is not as bright 
shade of red, nor does it stand sunshine as well 
without burning. Plants, $2.50 
Robert Emmet 
ROBERT EMMET (Moroney-Dahliadel 85C 87E), 
Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 5 ft. This wonderful exhibition 
variety is the most beautiful shade of red found in 
any dahlia, a velvety, cardinal red inclining to crim¬ 
son, of giant size and great beauty. It is a perfect 
open grower with sturdy, dark green, insect-resis¬ 
tant foliage. Certified at Storrs and is a great prize 
winner. This dahlia produces great quantities of 
perfect blooms from mid-August until frost, stems 
stiff and long with flowers facing perfectly. It is a 
dahlia that will win in both the red and Informal 
classes as well as the best bloom in the show. 
Robert Emmet well grown and staged in any show, 
will stand against the best dahlias known today. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
NORTH'S YELLOW (Peacock Dahliadel 83C 84E), 
Bloom 9x4, Bush 6 ft. We do not have many 
varieties that seem to enjoy August heat, like this 
one does, and will produce perfect blooms when 
others fail. This dahlia does well in the North and 
South, as it is an early and rapid grower. Color, 
a clear sulphur yellow. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
PENN CHARTER (Hall 83E), Bloom 9x4, Bush 
3 ] /2 ft- A strong grower with heavy leathery fol¬ 
iage. Blooms have good depth and beauty. Rich 
gold, tinted with reddish apricot. Graceful flowers 
are held on long stems. A bright spot in your gar¬ 
den or home. -50 
POESIE MORAVY. This fine foreign variety is 
white suffused soft lilac deepening at the center. 
Very early, free flowering, excellent for cutting. 
It is very effective in basket work, in the show 
room, and should be popular with the florists. 
Plants, $1.50 
THE LEMONADE (Ward 83E), Bloom 9x4, Bush 
5 ft. Although we have a number of yellows, this 
dahlia is popular because of its beauty, size, erect 
stems, good habit of growth and keeping qualities. 
Color, clear sulphur yellow. -50
