MRS. CHRISTINE GROVES (See page 3.) 
MRS. HERBERT O’CONNOR (Berwick-Dahliadel) Here is a high scoring, very 
beautiful Dahlia, and for all around merit the best American Cactus of the year. A 
bright rose pink, with a darker rose pink center. An early bloomer. One of the best. 
Strong Plants $5.00 
NORMANDIE (Viele) I. D. A real giant, and one that will appeal to the Dahlia 
hobbyist who gives a care to winning big bloom prizes. An appropriate name as this 
is about one of the biggest Dahlias “afloat”. Color a bright mallow pink, striped sil¬ 
ver; a splendid grower and no urging for 12-inch blooms. 
Strong Plants $5.00 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH (Hook) I. D. Certificate of Merit 1935. A very large, deep 
flower of bright oriental red. No color in Ridgeway’s chart like it. A heavy foliaged, 
vigorous plant that is highly recommended. 
Strong Plants $5.00

Satan. A large, long-petalled flower, of clean cut form; color brilliant flame red, gold 
reverse; a fine grower.

PINK SPIRAL (Holland) Straight Cactus. One of the best of the new foreign intro¬ 
ductions. Color peach blossom pink with a touch of primrose at the base and center 
of each flower, petals having a tendency to form a complete spiral. 
Strong Plants $2.50 
PRACHTKERL (Werner) S. C. We offered this grand variety last year to our 
customers, and were highly pleased with the splendid record it made. A seedling of 
Frau O. Bracht, but of a deeper yellow, and of larger size. It bids fair to duplicate 
its parent, in the show room and American gardens. 
Strong Plants $2.50 
PRIDE OF AMERICA (American Dahlia Farms) S. C. This is one of the most 
perfectly formed Dahlias of the year. The blooms grow normally large 10-inch to 12- 
inch, with no appearance of massiveness. Color clear, primrose yellow, with pale 
tints and flushed pink; perfect stems and foliage. A difficult Dahlia to defeat in its 
class 
Strong Plants $7.50

to a bright golden tan on outside of flower. A most outstanding and prolific bloomer.
