early, prolific bloomer producing its flowers on 
long stiff stems. Also winner of the American

STARLIGHT (S.C.) (Bessie Boston) — Pure un¬ 
shaded gold, a color which always attracts. Flower 
is huge and there is no limit to the size to which it 
can be grown. Bushes grow tall and luxuriantly and 
flowers start early and continue with closed cen¬ 
ters until frost. Form is excellent, and petals roll 
evenly until late in the season. The stem is stiff 
and strong and the flowers grow well out of the 
foliage. This variety will be found excellent for 
cutting as well as exhibiting and is always a delight 
in the garden. Roots 50c 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (S.C.) (Nolet) — Pure 
white with numerous pointed petals. The dense, 
dark green foliage makes a beautiful plant and 
sets off the lovely, white blossoms, enhancing their 
waxy appearance. Roots 50c 
THE FIREMAN (I.D.) (Success) 1934 — A strik¬ 
ing cardinal red with golden flushes and golden tips 
at center of flower. Certified at Storrs ’33 and 
won the American Home Achievement Medal at 
Boston. This variety was claimed as flashy and 
striking in the New York Botanical Gardens and 
has been well recommended to us. Roots $2.00 
THOMAS A. EDISON (F.D.) — This gorgeous rich 
royal purple decorative selected and named by per¬ 
mission of the famous electrical wizard, met with 
his complete approval when viewed at his West 
Orange estate. The staghorn petal formation, the 
dark green insect resisting foliage, the canestiff 
stems, and its thrifty growing habit leave nothing 
to be desired. After a year’s trial we consider 
Thomas A. Edison a marvelous dahlia.
