ANDREA ERICSON. I.D. Fluffy white. The flowers are large; excellent 
stems. $1.00. 
AZTEC GLORY. I.D. Clear picric yellow with deep, massive flowers of 
artistic formation; strong, erect stems. 75c. 
BUCKEYE BRIDE. F.D. A very satisfactory Dahlia in any climate. The 
color is geranium-pink shading to salmon. The stems are unusually long, 
the foliage leathery and insect resistant. A good grower in hot weather 
and a fine cut flower variety. 75c. 
CAVALCADE. F.D. A fine variety that should have a real future. In form, 
this Dahlia resembles Jersey’s Beauty and its stems are almost identical. 
It is, however, larger in diameter and two or three shades darker. $5.00 
Great care has been exercised in compiling our list 
of Dahlias and we feel that the varieties printed in 
capitals on the following pages are the best varieties 
yet introduced for exhibition or for cut flowers. 
Aiko. S.C. Striking cardinal or deep carmine with a silver 
reverse showing at the center and tips. $1.50. 
AMBASSADOR. C. This fine flower is still very popular at 
the Dahlia shows. Color soft yellow-buff, shaded salmon- 
pink. Well formed flowers, held erect above the foliage. 
Bushes branch readily and produce fine exhibition blooms. 
75c. 
AMELIA EARHART. S.C. Although this variety has been 
tempermental for some, we have procured stock to grow 
which we believe should be satisfactory. Color is apricot- 
buff with salmon tints shading to soft yellow at base of 
petals. One might picture it as an improved Edna Ferber 
of larger size, better stems, and with more gold and less 
rose shadings. $5.00. 
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART. I.D. An immense Informal 
Decorative of pure yellow without the slightest particle of 
shading and without the tendency to fade on the outer 
petals. Many of the petals are doubly serrated with a curl 
and a twist bending far back toward the stems, reminding 
one of a giant chrysanthemum. $10.00. 
American Triumph. C. Oriental red. Large blooms with high, 
full center, long, straight stems. Petals decidedly incurved 
when flower is fully developed. 75c. 
ANDRE VAN DER BERG. A very large, free flowering Dahlia on strong, 
erect stems. Beautiful bronze shading gold. $7.50. 
CALIFORNIA IDOL. I.D. Clear bright self colored yellow. In size it ranks 
with the very largest, growing to 14 inches or more and has corresponding 
depth, and yet is an extremely refined flower in every sense. $10.00. 
DAHLIA—Buckeye Bride. 
All prices quoted are for strong tubers. Pot grown plants,
