Dahlias of Quality 
1935 & 1934 Introductions from Other Sources 
LORD OF AUTUMN—I. D. (1934) 
We are very pleased to again re¬ 
commend this great yellow dahlia to 
our customers and friends. We were 
privileged to introduce this sensa¬ 
tional dahlia jointly with tha origin¬ 
ator in 1934, and what we said about 
it then and again in 1935 still holds 
good with us. We have grown it 
for four years, and it has made good 
every claim we made for it. The 
giant blooms, often 12 inches and 
over across and 8 inches and over in 
depth, have been the sensation in 
the shows throughout the country the 
past two years. It has been awarded 
more class and sweepstakes prizes 
the past two years than any dahlia 
ever won in the same length of time. 
A well grown bloom of the Lord of 
Autumn is well nigh unbeatable in 
the show room. We are building up 
a very superior strain of this great 
dahlia, and believe we have as good 
stock of it as can be had from any 
growers in the country, and far 
better stock than is being offered by 
some growers at cut rate prices. Our 
stock has been carefully handled to 
guard against weakening its vitality 
by over propogation By careful se¬ 
lection of only the choicest clumps 
for propogating purposes, we are in 
a position to offer the highest qual¬ 
ity plants obtainable anywhere. 
Stock quite limited.

LORD OF AUTUMN 
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART—I. D. (1935) Another great yellow dahlia introduced in 1935. 
Its type of bloom is about the same as the Lord of Autumn, flowers equally large, habit 
of plant about the same, and about the only difference lies in the color of the flower which 
is of a slightly lighter shade of yellow. It has been grown over a wide section of the 
country the past, season, and in some sections it is reported to have made a better showing 
than the Lord of Autumn, while in many other sections it has been slightly inferior to 
that variety. We have not yet been able to fully determine its comparative quality, but 
will say its action with us was very satisfactory in every way. It is unquestionably a great 
dahlia and those who have not been successful with the Lord of Autumn should give this 
variety a trial. Maybe it will be better suited to your soil and climatic conditions. 
We exhibited it at the N. J. Dahlia Society and the American Dahlia's Society shows 
the past season, in the class for the best-dahlias of N. J. origin never before exhibited in 
these shows, where it was given the Honorary President’s Medal of the N. J. Dahlia Society. 
Two of these medals are offered annually and this past season America’s Sweetheart won 
both. On 1935 Honor Roll.

CALIFORNIA IDOL—I. D. This giant self colored yellow ranks in size and finish with the 
largest and best dahlias introduced to date. In size it is truly a monster, producing blooms 
up to 14 inches in width and of great depth, and in spite of its huge size it has a very 
refined appearance. The past season it was awarded many medals and other prizes through¬ 
out the country. Plant is a strong sturdy grower, attaining to a height of 5 to 6 feet 
and over. A good root maker that insures good returns to the commercial grower. 
Plants only $5.00 each
