CUT FLOWERS 
There are many dahlias that are excellent for cutting. 
The following is a list of the very best ones: Buckeye Bride, 
Jersey’s Beauty, Jane Cowl, Marshall’s Pink, Beauty Su¬ 
preme, Angela Mia, Cavalcade, Miss Belgium, Paul Pfitzer, 
Fairy and Baby Royal. 
The cut flowers, that we sell each year, from our dahlia 
gardens, more than pay our running expenses. 
Mrs. George Le Boutelier (I.D.) "Smith-Ruschmohr”—Bush 
4 ft. A giant flower and, in our opinion, an improvement on 
Murphy’s Masterpiece, and a very striking and showy plant 
in the garden. Color deep crimson red, the blooms are ex¬ 
ceptionally large and are held erect on long, stiff, almost 
leafless stems, high and above the foliage of the strong, self- 
branching and wide-spreading plant with heavy, disease-re¬ 
sisting foliage. Watch for this dahlia at the shows this com¬ 
ing season. Very much admired at the N. Y. Botanical Gar¬ 
dens, where it was grown the past season, and received many 
votes in the popularity contest. On Hart Honor Roll. Plants 2.00 
Murphy’s Masterpiece (I.D.) "Murphy” 1932 — This giant 
red dahlia could have been very appropriately named SEEK 
NO FURTHER, for when it comes to winning in the largest 
bloom class, it is the recognized leader. It is quite safe to say, 
it was the largest winner in this class of any dahlia exhibited 
in the 1933 eastern show. If you expect to carry off the blue 
ribbon in the largest bloom class you have simply got to have 
Murphy’s Masterpiece to do the trick. The flowers can be 
grown up to 14 inches and over in size, and it grows large with¬ 
out much encouragement. The color is dark red, shading to- 
' ward garnet, and it will withstand much sun heat without 
fading or burning. The plant is a strong grower, and is a 
generous producer of large, perfectly gorgeous exhibition 
blooms, that are held high above the top leaves on rigid stems 
that never go saxophone shape. The greatest red dahlia to 
date, and the greatest prize winner of all the dahlias of its 
color __ Plants .90 
Myra Howard (I.D.) "Glutzbach Dahliadel” 1932 — The color 
is a glowing combination of saffron, yellow with tints of sal¬ 
mon, the entire effect being ochraceous orange. Winner of 
American Home Achievement Medal at New 
York ___ Roots 1.00 Plants .50 
Old Hickory (F.D.) 85 "Dahliadel” — Bloom 7x5, Bush 3 Vi 
ft. The dahlia that is easy to grow. A rough-and-ready, 
rugged plant, semi-dwarf with each branch bearing a large 
bloom which is almost a ball with centers always full. Stems 
are ideal for basket arrangement, and the blooms are won¬ 
derful keepers. Color, madder red with apricot suffusions. It 
stands more hardships than any other dahlia_ Roots .50 
Oriental Glory (i.D.) "Swartz”—Blooms 10x5, Bush 5 ft. 
There are so many dahlias following the same color tone that 
it is an innovation when one appears with a shading that is 
just a little different than the other. Such a dahlia is Oriental 
Glory. The flowers are brilliant, dazzling balls of deep orange; 
and how we need this color on the exhibition table. Fine, ro¬ 
bust grower with excellent stems. On the Honor Roll Plants .75 
Palo Alto (S.C.) "Ballay” — Bloom 10x6, Bush 5 Vi ft. A real 
giant, the color of which is clear, bright salmon shading to¬ 
wards gold at the center. Stems tall and straight. Flowers 
are of good substance with uniform, full centres. Well recom¬ 
mended as a winner. Certified at Storrs _._ Plants .75 
Paul Pfitzer (Cactus) "Berger” 1934—A German novelty that 
won a name for itself in the New York Show. It is a pleas¬ 
ing combination of primrose and shell pink. Strong, vigorous 
plants with dark foliage and excellent stems. On Honor Roll.
