DAHUADEL NURSERIES 
INFORMAL DECORATIVE 
DAHLIAS—Continued 
CITY OF CLEVELAND (Bissell 85E), 1935, Bloom 
10 x 5, Bush 4 J /2 ft. Worthy of a place in any gar¬ 
den as we found it a strong healthy grower, pro¬ 
ducing large uniform, well-formed blooms through¬ 
out the season. Flowers are of artistic form in a 
bright orange suffused scarlet. Very rich and at¬ 
tractive in appearance. Certified at Storrs. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
CITY OF TRENTON (Prentice-Dahliadel 83E), 
Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 ft. A pleasing color of bright 
apricot, suffused gold, showing considerable rose on 
the reverse. The bush grows strong and robust, 
producing flowers with perfectly full centers on 
long, erect stems. A dahlia you will like. 
Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
DOROTHY STONE (F. & M. 84E), Bloom 9x4, 
Bush 4 ft. Suitable for the garden and show room, 
although not as spectacular as Kathleen Norris. It 
is a darker pink and a deeper flower. A good 
grower with stems long and erect. .50 
DWIGHT W. MORROW (Dahliudel 85E), Bloom 11 
x 5, Bush 5 ft. A gigantic rich crimson red dahlia 
that is admired by everyone. Its size, form, and 
richness of color make it very spectacular. This 
dahlia likes reasonably heavy soil, but should not 
be forced or over-watered. From New Jersey and 
north we have had wonderful reports of its behav¬ 
ior. Disbudding should not be done until terminal 
bud is about to show color. In the south the heat 
will cause the stem to droop with the extreme 
weight of the massive blooms unless disbudding is 
regarded. It is a healthy grower and a popular 
winner in many shows. Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
EVA HUNT (Hunt 86E), Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. 
Waxy white with wide, heavy petals, with a texture 
almost like that of a lily. Centers are full and 
high. An unusual feature is the dark green foliage 
on a white dahlia which is a striking contrast. It 
is a good grower and is sure to be a great prize 
winner, when it is better known. Plants, $1.25 
GIRL OF HILLCREST (Scott-Kemp 83E), Bloom 
10 x 4, Bush 5 ft. You will derive a great deal of 
pleasure from growing this fine variety as it blooms 
early and continuously. Color is apricot buff or 
cadmium orange. A vigorous grower with long 
stems. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
HARRIET HOCTOR (Ailing 81E), Bloom 10 x 4, 
Bush 5 ft. A very satisfactory dahlia of wonderful 
size and color. The stems tip a little in the extreme 
heat with the weight of the flower. Color, bright 
mauve with magenta shadings, giving a bright 
purple effect. Bushes strong and healthy. .75 
INDIANA MOON (Martin 82E), Bloom 11 x 5, Bush 
6 ft. A richly colored flower of soft cadmium or¬ 
ange with lines and suffusion of carmine. This 
huge dahlia is easy to grow as it is robust and 
healthy. The stems are strong and erect. .50 
IROQUOIS SUNBEAM (Toth 85C 84E), 1934, Bloom 
9x4, Bush 5 ft. An upright, sturdy grower and 
prolific bloomer. Orange buff suffused coral. A 
garden dahlia that will grow to exhibition size. We 
found this an excellent cut flower for late in the 
season. Roots, $4.00; Plants, $2.00 
JERSEY’S MAJESTIC (Waite 82E), Bloom 11 x 5, 
Bush 5 1/2 ft. As the name implies, this dahlia 
stands above most varieties on long, erect stems. 
The foliage is very dark and effective on sturdy 
bushes. Blooms of immense size are coral shaded 
carmine and suffused with orange at the center. In 
general a metallic coloring. Very showy. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
KATHLEEN NORRIS (F. & M. 86E), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 51/2 ft. This outstanding exhibition dahlia is 
a true rose pink, deepening to mallow pink, with 
central petals a lighter shade. Petals are broad 
and overlap each other. Blooms are held erect on 
long, strong stems. This dahlia to do its best 
should not be planted before June 15th, or if plant¬ 
ed early should be topped rather severely about the 
middle of July with conditions as we have them in 
New Jersey. Roots, .75; Plants, .59 
KEMP’S VIOLET WONDER (Kemp 8IE), Bloom 
10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. The predominating color of this 
fine dahlia is bright violet purple with faint bluish 
violet at tips of petals. Deep flowers of perfect 
form. Stems are stiff, holding flowers well above 
the foliage. A truly outstanding variety, keeping 
well when cut. Plant is a prolific bloomer, strong 
grower, not susceptible to sucking insects. 
Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
MARGARET W. WILSON (F. & M. 82E), Bloom 9 
x 4, Bush 41/2 ft. An easy variety to grow, produc¬ 
ing a profusion of huge blooms. Especially good 
early in the season. Face of petals creamy white 
with a phlox pink reverse, giving an opalescent ef- 
fact. -35 
MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER (Ruschmohr 
85E), 1935, Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. As an exhi¬ 
bition dahlia this variety did considerable winning 
last season and has been shown WV 2 inches in dia¬ 
meter. It has given Murphy’s Masterpiece plenty 
of competition as it is quite similar in form and also 
a red, but this one is described as a carmine red. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (Newsom 82E), Bloom 10 x 6, 
Bush 6 ft. A very striking bright red exhibition 
dahlia of the most iridescent, rich, glowing cardinal. 
The petals are of great depth and substance, mak¬ 
ing an unusually deep, attractive flower. Bush is 
vigorous and robust. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
RAJAH (Groll 84E), 1935, Bloom 9x5, Bush V/ z ft. 
The rather unusual coloring and striping of this 
variety make it outstanding. It is ochreous buff 
speckled and striped a light garnet. Strong, erect 
stems with dark green, insect-resistant foliage. 
Was very popular in our Trial Grounds this past 
season. Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.2S
