Tpxburys Ideal - The 
Ideal Dahlia for 1936 
For three years this dahlia has performed well in 
our gardens. During the season of 1935 we had 
ROXBURYS IDEAL grown in severl sections of 
the United States for the purpose of testing the re' 
liability of this fine dahlia. From California, New 
Jersey, Kentucky, Michigan, Wisconsin, as well as 
its home state of Ohio have we received worthy 
comments on the performance of ROXBLIRY S 
IDEAL. 
Here is what Mr. D. O. Eldredge says of this fine 
dahlia in his roster of Meritorious dahlias for 1936 
in The Mid'West Dahlia News: 
ROXBURY’S IDEAL (Dane) A commercial 
type of a fine pink color; size 8 Vz to 10'A inches
