'CLASSIC' 
I'or a long: time "The Elite" have asked for a refined dahlia — 
ncsn-pmk informal decorative, more flesh than pink, one that 
both tor exhibition and cut-flower size. At last it is here, a 
has no peer, hence the name "CLASSIC". 
The above is a re-print of my ad. befor 
it is therefore comforting to introduce i 
approbation of recognized authority.

dahlia that has the 
Mr. Hart states in his "DAHLIA REVIEW” the following: 
It was the best novelty in the 1933 Brooklyn Show and not 
S i 1 * n *- e • introduction of Marg. Wilson in 1924 has such a 
distinctive pastel shade been shown. The color is warm, very 
defintie but very light pink, almost flesh color. Unlike some 
pastel shades it is attractive in full sunlight and under arti¬ 
ficial light as well. An outstanding grower." 
At the A.D.S. Tral Grounds at Storrs, it won a Certificate of 
Merit and was "The most out-standing supberb growth.”

DERRING-DO BOUQUET (No. 8) 
1 his is a small burnt-orange cactus flushed pink that is so 
supberb that it has the distinction, of being the first of my in¬ 
troductions to be named DERRING-DO in spite of a desire to 
hold that name for a large type. It is a clean grower and good 
bloomer or it never would have received that name. 
Plants $1.50 net Roots $3.00 net 
DERRING-DO POM (19) 
This is an exceptional pompon, it is a prolific bloomer and the 
color is that of Elite-glory and never larger than a half-dollar.

OTHER INTRODUCTIONS 
CITY OF CLEVELAND 
A Certificate of Merit winner at Storrs in 1933. It is included 
in Mr. Hart’s "Dahlia Review”, winner of the Sweepstake Cup, 
Ohio State Show. 1932; on this years Mid-West Roster and Dr. 
Howe's List in the "Flower Grower.” 
The color is bright-scarlet splashed with orange to intense 
orange with a slight hlush of gold. 
This is an informal decorative and one that is rumored to be 
one of the winners in the Show-room this fall.

KOCKLY MOON ^ 
I happened to be one of the judges when this flower was 
shown and it was competing with a very formidable opposition 
such as Lord of Autumn. It was the high-light of the A.D.’s 
Trial Garden at Storrs in 1933 winning a Certificate of Merit. 
It won as best Bloom in West Virginia State Show, also the best 
r ormai SeeclTrn TTTTr Ito CK VIIIC Cent re. The color is tjrigiu yertmv 
with bronze tints and very large. It heads the list on Mr. 
Hart’s "Dahlia Review" of formal decoratives.

WATCHUNG NOVELTIES 
Regardless of past introductions these of 1935 are wonderful 
and I have watched them come along for three years. I posi¬ 
tively know that they have never been "Boosted" for show 
purposes and if they fail to sell it will convince me that dahlia 
lovers do not want HONEST GROWN DAHLIAS. 
Last year I prophesied that this group of dahlias would make 
a hit when shown, and Mr. Smith’s display at the N. Y. Show 
verified that contention and I am pleased with the privilege of 
listing them this year. 
pfants Roots 
Watchung-Beau, Cac. (207) .$fr.©©—$icn00 
A very startling cactus of bright-red with 
yellow reverse. At Pluckemin Show the 
Cut-Flower-Market-Growers raved about this 
dahlia which means that it is striking, good 
stem, shipper, grower and prolific. The ^\v- 
er is about six inches. ^ ^ 
Watchung-Belle, I.D., (204) 5*0©-ifTOO 
This is a very large phlox-pink with petal 
formation like Sunrise but plant habit is 
perfect. 
Watchung-Medal, F.D., (208) - 
An improved F. W. Butler — being more 
stocky and less variable in flcuver-color which 
is old-gold mottled browIvVy 
Watchung-Pearl, F.D., (146)... 5.00 -IG.OtT 
Which was named pearl by mistake. It is 
pearl with autumn shadings but brigh t 
therefore unusual. 
Watchung-Prize, F.D., (202). 5 .0 0 10.0 0 11 
Here is a lavender that is large and not 
tricky and in this class, I l^lieve th^J^est 
to date in every way. 
Watchung-Ruby, I.D. (7X) . 5^0©-10:00 
This is the red that has been watched by 
experts for two years and in spite of an 
already full red field this dahlia has a place. 
I believe this is the best^ed^informal decor¬ 
ative to date. ^ 
Watchung-sensation, I.D. (201)^00—— tOrOO 
This dahlia will have to be classified as an 
informal-decorative but is reaaly chrysan¬ 
themum form. It is a champagne-color and 
huge. This is the dahlia that was my el-y^ce 
for achievement winner, £ 00 
Watchung-Star, I.D., (106). 5MQ -1-O.OI4 
This is a buttercup-yellow flower, 10 inch 
in size with 10 inch stem. While ther^gre 
many yellows there are MpOW this Sffmde 
and I know of none the of thi^ 
Watchung-Supreme, F.D.,(200) -T8.00 
The shadings of this dahlia are like Amelia 
Earhart which in this class makes it- a 
novelty of great importance. 
NOTE:—I had to describe for Mr. Snillh the above dahlias as 
I remembered them after a lapse of 3 months and natur¬ 
ally these are the high-lights which cause me to reiterate 
that they are a supberb group.

SEED 
At Last Satisfactory Dahlia Seed. 
That represents testing, experimenting and study¬

For several years I have had calls for my seed but 
never have I had enough of the worthy kind that I 
would care to recommend. While my supply is limit¬ 
ed I do feel sure that those purchasing them will be 
amply repaid.
