—This dahlia was certified at Storrs, Conn., 1934 
with the highest score of all entries (86.6). The 
color is a rich deep garnet with black shadings 
and shadows at the centre of bloom. Its color will 
stand full sunshine and not fade. Roots $5.00 
ANDREA ERICSON (I.D.) (F.&M. 85,) 1931 — 
The easiest way to describe this dahlia is to call it a 
white Fort Monmouth. It is somewhat heavier in 
petal formation, but very pleasing in form. Held on 
excellent stems, and should be very successful in 
the white class on the show table. In hot weather 
this dahlia needs shading to be grown to exhibition 
perfection. Roots $1.00 
AMELIA EARHART (S.C.) (Cordes-Eastman), 
1933 — This gorgeous dahlia was a consistent win¬ 
ner wherever shown, having two American Home 
Achievement Medals and many other prizes to its 
credit. Color is apricot buff with salmon tints shad¬ 
ing to soft yellow at base of petals. One might 
picture it as an improved Edna Ferber of larger 
size, better stems, and with more gold and less 
rose shading. Roots $2.00
