Dahliadel Gold 
DAHLIADEL GOLD (Dahliadel 85E), FD, 1935, Bloom 11 x 5, Bush 4J/2 ft. This dahlia grows large 
and massive naturally. When heavily fed with nitrogen for exhibition or over-watered the flower is bo 
heavy it may tip on its stem. However, when grown properly with plenty of phosphorus and potash 
and the nitrogen withheld produces perfect exhibition blooms on good stems held well out of the foliage. 
Bush growth is robust with dark leathery foliage. Flow'ers, as you will note, are beautiful in form and 
a pleasing color, deep golden yellow, suffused light coral red with darker shadings at center. Try this 
for the largest bloom class. It w r on first prize in the Private Estate Section as the Best Five Formal 
Decoratives, one or more varieties, in the New York Show. About as fine an exhibit of Formal Dec- 
oratives as ever has been staged. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50
