Democracy 
DEMOCRACY (Wiegand-Dahliadel 85E), FD, 1935, Bloom 9x6, Bush 4 ft. This variety can be grown 
for exhibition on the central branches of the bush and as a cut flower on the side or lateral branches. 
Strange as it may seem, the central branches produce blooms facing nearly upward almost as deep as 
they are in diameter with the petals opening back to the stem. In the garden, this variety resembles 
huge chrysanthemums at a little distance. The lateral blooms face the side and might be called yellow 
Jersey’s Beauties as they are a deep primrose yellow shaded golden yellow. Strong straight stems, full 
centers, healthy foliage, an early and profuse-bloomer. These qualities along with a certificate at Storrs, 
1934, should sufficiently recommend this dahlia. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50
