AMERICAN TRIUMPH, C. 
Undoubtedly the finest true cactus dahlia in its 
color class to date. Pure oriental red throughout. 
The flowers are large, deep, with good substance 
and held perfectly erect above a strong, medium- 
tall plant. 
Plants 50c. 
ARCTURUS, F. D. (Peck) 
Received Certificate of Merit at Storrs, 1933. 
This variety produces a high quality of large 
flowers. A large scarlet red suffused deep yellow 
and with yellow reverse. The stems are uniformly 
good and of proper length. The substance of the 
flowers is unusual since they outlast most other 
dahlias, either on the bush or after cutting, in 
the hot winds of our climate. Its vigor is uni¬ 
formly good. 
Plants $1.00. 
BABY ROYAL (Min.) 
Roots 50c. 
AMELIA EARHART, S. C. 
(Cordes-Eastman) 
Largest and most perfect bloom. It is a very 
large and artistically formed combination of apri- 
cot-buff with primrose at the base of each petal, 
with tints and sometimes stripes of salmon. Its 
record places this dahlia in the ranks of the super 
exhibition varieties. 
Roots $2.00. Plants $1.00.

Dear Sir: 
The dahlia plants received from you 
last spring were the finest plants I ever 
saw, and 1 had plants this year from five 
other growers. I had the finest, best 
colored Amelia Earhart blooms 1 could 
find in western New York. Please send 
me your 1936 price list. 
Your respectfully, 
Chas. H. Anthony,
