BOBBE DEANE. (H. L. Smith-Lloyd’s Dahlia Gardens.) 
1936. FD., 5-7 ins. x 4-5 ins. deep; 5-6 ft. tall. At 
the American Dahlia Society Trial Grounds, East 
Lansing, Mich, where it received a Certificate of 
Merit, 1935 (Scoring 85) this dahlia is described as 
maize yellow overlaid geranium pink. The general 
appearance here is on the yellow orange shades over¬ 
laid with a glistening sheen of pink. A formal decor¬ 
ative, of medium size, which follows one of its parents 
in producing a typical Jerseys Beauty type of flower, 
plant and foliage. (Picture of Cavalcade could well 
be used to represent Bobbe Deane as it blooms for 
us.) Strong, vigorous, healthy, insect resistant plant 
producing its flowers freely and coming into bloom 
about the same time as Jerseys Beauty for us. Does 
equally well in the open field or under irrigation. We 
have yet to see a stunt or poor flower. The only 
noticeable result of overfeeding here, has been to force 
the plant to grow seven feet or more in height and 
to cause part of the normally side facing flowers to 
bloom on top of the long, strong, stiff, medium to 
slender stem without materially increasing the size of 
the flowers. Good root maker and propagator. 
An excellent commercial preferred by our retail 
florists for its pleasing color and extra keeping qual¬ 
ities. Tested in New Jersey, Connecticut, Michigan 
and Washington. We believe it will pay you to get 
an early start on such a beautiful and useful dahlia.
