1936 INTRODUCTIONS 
THELMA TODD (Eastman). 
Semi-Cactus. 10x6 Natural 
A beautiful dahlia that won the admiration of everyone 
that visited our gardens during the past season. The color 
is most pleasing. A soft Primrose yellow with the back half 
of the flower showing a definite rose suffusion. Each flower 
is perfectly formed and holds its size throughout the season. 
A most prolific and early bloomer with every flower held at 
right angles to the long strong stems. 
The petals have a staghorn formation that twist and curl 
and under artificial light the blooms present a soft, pleasing 
glow. 
Thelma Todd is a real beauty. An excellent keeper and a 
fine exhibition variety. For basket work there is no finer 
flower. 
This dahlia is carried in Mr. J. W. Johnston’s article, “The 
Dahlia Futurity” in the December number of House Beautiful. 
Stock is limited and early orders should be placed.

MIRIAM HOPKINS (Cordes-Eastman). 
Semi-Cactus. 12x7. 
A seedling of Amelia Earhart. Huge but graceful and a 
much stronger grower than its parent and with more sub¬ 
stance. The color effect is something like Earhart but shades 
to a copper-orange instead of apricot and salmon. A tall grow¬ 
ing plant with long stems that hold the flowers at right angles. 
This dahlia was grown in the garden of Mr. Derrill W. 
Hart and he reports that it was outstanding and was one of 
the best two or three grown. A beautiful bloom carried away 
the best individual bloom class in the Los Angeles show and 
the flower measured 12% inches. 
Miriam Hopkins will be found in Mr. Johnston's article 
and also in the Honor Roll as prepared by Mr. Hart in The 
Flower Groiver. 
A limited supply only.
