and cream reverse, making the blooms very striking. 
The flowers are very large and deep, going eight 
inches without disbudding and holds its size all 
season. The blooms are held well above the foliage 
on good stiff stems. It is a profuse bloomer and 
should be disbudded and it can be grown then to 
eight canes without reducing the flowers to less 
than nine or ten inches. The foliage is perfect.

ROBERT EMMET (I.D.) (Moroney Dahliadel) 
1933—Scored 87 at Storrs; flower 9x4. A grand 
new velvety cardinal red dahlia of giant size and 
beauty. Good open grower with dark green insect 
resistant foliage and held on long stiff stems. One 
of the finest in the garden. (H.R.) Roots $2.00 
RUDY VALLEE (S.C.) (Broomall-Success) — In 
this variety we have one of the most beautiful 
dahlias ever offered. When the flowers begin to 
open they show chrome yellow at center, with a 
graduation of grenadine red as the flower expands, 
finally becoming solid grenadine orange red when 
in full bloom. The flowers are pleasing to look 
upon, and instantly catch and hold the attention of 
all who see them. Flowers, large to very large, 
full centered, and are held well above the clean- 
cut foliage on long, straight stems. Plant 5 to 6 
feet high, with numerous strong laterals. Growth 
vigorous, which insures it against serious injury 
from insect attacks. Roots 75c 
SATAN (S.C.) (BalJay)—Flaming red with a slight 
touch of gold at the center. The exquisite coloring 
is at once fascinating. The hornlike petals are so 
perfectly rolled and incurved, giving rare form and 
character to a flower of unusual brilliancy. The 
rugged, almost leafless stems, give the impression 
of being nearly as thick at the top as at the base. 
This variety has been a consistent winner at the 
shows. Plants medium to tall habit of growth.

SHAHRAZAD (I.D.) — A gorgeous deep pink that 
can not be fittingly described. Blooms are of great 
size and substance as well as depth. Stems straight, 
rigid and cane-like. This dahlia resembles Jane 
Cowl in many ways, a vigorous grower and well 
mentioned by all who have seen it. Roots 50c 
SPOTLIGHT (I.D.) (Cottage Grove) — Another 
1933 Honor Roll variety of most delightful color, 
sulphur yellow shading, lighter at the tips, with 
nearly white reverse. This is a large flower, aver¬ 
aging 10 to 12 inches, with a high full center, never 
coming open no matter how late the season. An
