WORLDS BEST PRIZE-WINNING 
DAHLIAS 
We specialize in dahlias that have a record of winning 
prizes; that are known to be vigorous, and have been thorough¬ 
ly tested out in many sections of the United States. 
Nearly every one of our dahlias have received a Certificate 
of Merit, from the Trial Grounds at Storrs, Conn., or East 
Lansing, Mich. That means a rating of at least 85%. 
"We grow a number of the very best 
And let, who will, raise all the rest.” 
PLANTS 
We have found that if plants are started and grown properly, 
they will produce as good, if not better, results than roots. 
All our plants are grown from base cuttings from selected 
stock, and grown in special containers, which are equivalent 
to about a four inch flower pot. 
We recommend planting out from May 10th to June 15th in 
this locality. 
Name Description Each 
Adirondack Sunset (I.D.) 1935 "Parkway”—This is one of 
the greatest dahlias ever introduced, and one of the most spec¬ 
tacular, and it attracts everyone’s attention. The color is a vivid 
scarlet, shading to a bright canary yellow at the base, giving 
the large blooms the striking sunset colors. The mammoth 
blooms are held facing sideways on long, stiff stems. The plant 
averages about six feet in height. This 1935 Honor Roll dahlia 
won the popular vote at the New York Botanical Gardens. 
The originator believes it will be grown to the mammoth size 
of 15 inches. It never fades; it stands the hotest sun. Plants $2.00 
Amelia Earhart (S.C.) "Cordes”—Bloom 12x6, Bush 4 ft. 
This gorgeous dahlia was a consistent winner wherever shown, 
having two American Home Achievement Medals and many 
other prizes to its credit. Color is apricot buff with salmon 
tints shading to soft yellow at base of petals. One might 
picture it as an improved Edna Ferber of larger size, better 
stems, and with more gold and less rose shading. One of the 
great prize winners of today _ _ Plants 1.00 
America’s Sweetheart (I.D.) 1935 "Nunneviller” — An 
immense variety that is very outstanding among the new intro¬ 
ductions. Color is a pure yellow without a particle of shading. 
Even the outer petals do not fade out like those in most dahlias. 
Many of the petals are double serated, and curl and twist as 
the bloom develops. They fold back to the stem, reminding 
one of a huge chrysanthemum. The flower is held facing the 
heaven on an absolutely straight, stiff and sturdy stem, the 
flowers are full and with high centers, and were grown by the 
originators to more than 12 inches across, in the open field 
without irrigation or fertilizer, so that when it is grown with 
fertilizer and water it can be grown to gigantic size. Many 
who have seen this dahlia say it is the best dahlia to date. 
Plant averages about five feet, and is a strong, vigorous 
grower - Plants 4.00 
Angela Mia (F.D.) "Shattuck”—One of the most popular

which is a beautiful lavender. Another great
