Fraser’s Tested Dahlias 
for 1936 
REX—I. Dec. (Greci-Fraser) A combination of buff and 
light golden yellow, suffused with peach pink and golden 
sheen. The long petals face outwards making a very ar¬ 
tistic bloom 10-12 inches in diameter, 5-7 inches deep on 
strong stems; clean dark green foliage that seems to be 
free from insects and disease. Early frosts prevented our 
exhibiting this variety last fall, but several outstanding 
dahlia critics who saw it growing in our gardens proclaim¬ 
ed it one of the best novelties of the year. 
Roots $15.00; Plants $7.50 
, JESSIE CRAWFORD—I. Dec. Color ivory white with 
blendings of cattleya pink, the tips of the petals deep catt- 
leya rose like the throat of a cattleya orchid. The large 
flowers are carried on long stems well above the foliage; 
free flowering; clean uniform growth; height 4 Ms feet. 
Mentioned in both the American Home and Home and 
Field honor rolls of outstanding novelties. 
Roots $5.00; Plants $2.50 
HELEN S. FRASER — F. Dec. The color according to 
Ridgeway’s Chart: “Picric yellow center, outer petals 
alizarine pink”; clean, upright growth with the flowers 
carried well above the foliage on stiff stems. Size of the 
blooms 5-8 inches. Certificate of Merit, Storrs, Conn., 
1934. Roots $5.00; Plants $2.50 
BARBARA ANN—I. Dec. (Reynolds Fraser). We have 
had the pleasure of growing many bi-color dahlias in our 
gardens, but never have we had such a fine yariety as 
this. The flowers are all so uniform in size and marking 
and every plant crowded with bloom making it an out¬ 
standing attraction. Deep rose red with white tips; 6-7 
inches in diameter, 4-5 inches deep without any disbud¬ 
ding. Plants only $2.50
