THE DUCHESS—We have had this beautiful bi-colored dahlia on trial for the past two years, 
and we unhesitatingly recommend it as being the best white tipped, yellow dahlia we 
have ever grown. The blooms are produced in profusion on long stiff stems that holds 
them high above the foliage. Maximum size of bloom about 9 inches across and 5 inches in 
depth. Plant is a tall vigorous grower and an early bloomer. Stock quite limited.

HARMONY—F. D. (No. 34-W). This tri-colored dahlia is not only very beautiful, but quite 
unique in its color tones, they being lemon yellow with border of light geraneium pink on 
each edge of the petals, just to the rear of the white tips. Flower is not large, averaging 
about 6 inches in diameter, but what it lacks in size is certainly more than offset by its 
beauty. Plant is a tall grower, many branched and a very prolific bloomer.

HAZEL CHAPMAN —F. D. (Kemp, 1932). In this unique dahlia we have a color combination 
that is very attractive. The background is ochraceous buff, striped, speckled and splashed 
brilliant spectrum red. Occasionally a flower will come solid spectrum red, or half red 
and half variegated. The 8 inch blooms are supported on stiff stems high above the 
foliage. Plants medium height. Owing- to the destruction of most of the plants by the 
big storm of last August we have no roots to offer this year.

RUDY VALLEE —S. C. (Broomall-Success). Of the many fine dahlias of recent introduction, 
none is more distinct nor outstanding than this one. When the flowers begin opening 
they show chrome yellow centers, with gradation to grenadine pink as the flower expands, 
finally becoming grenadine orange red when full bloom. The large, full centered blooms 
are held well above the foliage on long, straight stems. Plant a strong grower, attaining 
to a height of about 6 feet. A beautiful flower, and a great prize winner.

down the center of the petals. Flower large, on long, stiff stems, is held high above the
