No Flower Gives More for the Money than a Big Dahlia 
DAHLIAS 
Each year the new Dahlias present remarkable advances in clearness of 
color and refinement of form and size. Stronger, longer stems are appearing, 
and huge flowers of exhibition quality can be cut with stems equal to their 
magnificence. We believe we have selected the best of the late introductions 
to offer here.

Novelty List of Dahlias for 1936 
The following varieties represent the cream of the finest exhibits at the Fall shows of 1935, and are worthy 
of your consideration, especially if you contemplate exhibiting. 
Hunt’s New Seedling Dahlia 
Revelation 
We are pleased to offer, for the first time, this new 
senri-double Cactus-shaped Dahlia. The outer large 
petals are deep golden brown, the smaller interspersed 
petals above are bright yellow—a beautiful color com¬ 
bination, rather difficult to describe. This variety has 
been exhibited at many of the local Dahlia shows and 
has won large acclaim for its attractiveness. Each plant 
produces many flowers from the middle of August until 
cut down by frost. We have every confidence in recom¬ 
mending this variety to all lovers of this flower. Plants 
only, $2 each; 3 for $5.
