FORMAL DECORATIVE 
DAHLIAS—Continued 
CHICK (Sbertoli 83E), Bloom 9x4, Bush 4i/ 2 ft. 
Primrose yellow with gold suffusions. This variety 
should be topped twice, eliminating possible poor 
centers on early blooms. Later blooms are large, 
well-formed, attractive and of good keeping quali¬ 
ties. .50 
DR. JOHN CARMAN (Dixon 83E), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 5 ft. A dahlia you will admire, as it is large 
and attractive, but not coarse. Color, Tyrian rose, 
shaded silver. Greatly improved if grown in par¬ 
tial shade, as this softens the coloring. A dahlia 
of exceptional growing and blooming qualities suit¬ 
able for landscape work, and a good keeper when 
cut. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
EMANUEL'S BEAUTY (Mendosa 81E), Bloom 9 x

ers are held erect on strong stems. Color is a pleas-

as a cut flower. Blooms profusely on good stems. 
Vigorous grower. .35 
GRAF ZEPPELIN (Nolet 85C 84E), Bloom 8x4, 
Bush 7 ft. This dahlia will stand out as a sentinel

growing dahlia we offer with the exception of Jack’s 
Bean Stalk. The large white flowers are regular

and erect. Roots, .50; Plants, .50

ft. A popular exhibition dahlia that holds an even,

silvery pink with a rose pink reverse. An attrac¬ 
tive and satisfactory dahlia. .35 
JANE DIXON (F. & M. 85E), Bloom 8 x 4i/ 2 , Bush 
4 1/2 ft. The contrast of large, high centered blooms 
of soft apricot buff, edged rose, on the massive, 
dark green foliage make an attractive picture in the 
garden or when cut. Stems are strong and erect. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
JANE HALL (Peacock 83C), Bloom 6x4, Bush 4 Y z 
ft. A full, high-centered Decorative with petals re¬ 
flexing to stem and keeping well when cut. Blooms 
well above the foliage on stout stems. Color, buff 
yellow with bronzy suffusion. .25 
MARYLAND GLORY (Maryland D. G. 84C 85E), 
Bloom 9x5, Bush 4 ft. A most satisfactory bloom¬ 
er from early to late. Perfect blooms of Tyrian 
rose shaded crimson carmine are borne in profusion 
on good stems. An unusually distinctive color and 
popular variety. A fine strong grower. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, .75 
MONA GOLD (Parker Hume D. G. 85C 85E), 1935, 
Bloom 9x6, Bush 5 ft. Apricot yellow lightly suf¬ 
fused soft peach red with a general appearance of 
old gold. This variety holds a wonderful form from 
early in the season until frost. Good keeping qual¬ 
ities, a profuse bloomer, excellent stems, and a 
Sanhican’s Cameo 
strong grower make it useful as a cut flower as 
well as for exhibition. Certified at East Lansing, 
1934. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
PHANTOM (Berger) Long broad petals of deep vio¬ 
let purple with long white tips. Good bi-colors are 
few and far between and this one bids fair to fit 
into many gardens and show room classes. Bush is 
vigorous and stems strong. Plants, $1.50 
SANHICAN’S CAMEO (F. & M. 85E), Bloom 10 x 
5, Bush 5 ft. A dahlia sufficiently different in color¬ 
ing to justify its presence. Color, coral-rose shaded 
mallow pink on reverse, with golden sheen on face 
of petals, glowing beautifully under artificial light. 
Bush sturdy, stems long and erect. Blooms keep 
well for cutting and exhibiting. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
TREASURE ISLAND (Dahliadel 85C 86E), Bloom 
10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. One of our brightest autumn 
shade dahlias. Color, bright apricot with gold and 
rose suffusion and shadings. Bush growth is strong, 
branches readily from the ground, giving four-foot 
stems. It has been a wonderful success especially in 
a dry season which this variety withstands. Disbud 
for first eight blooms according to Drawing Y, for 
the balance of the season according to Drawing X. 
This will bring the bush up to about five feet and 
the side branches will come to about the same 
height. This dahlia is a real winner on the exhibi¬ 
tion table, especially in the Formal Decorative class¬ 
es. Very desirable when not disbudded for a mass 
of color in landscape work. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
W. H. T. (McCarrol-Schling 84E), Bloom 9x5, Bush 
6 ft. This pleasing variety is a shade not common 
in big dahlias, rich old rose or begonia rose with 
mauve shadings on the reverse of petals. It is a 
tall robust grower with strong stems. Petals are 
thick and of good substance, opening back to the 
stem, which is a very desirable feature in a dahlia 
of this type. Roots, .50; Plants, .50
