PIONEER CITY DAHLIA GARDENS, MARIETTA, OHIO 
JANET SOUTHWICK (Chapman) 
Informal decorative of the staghorn petaled 
type, beautiful formation, exquisite coloring. 
Ridgeway’s chart calls it Deep Tyrian rose, 
American Home Roll of Honor calls it bright 
Bergundy red. The texture of the petals is so 
fine it reminds one of the Radiance rose. One of 
the cleanest growing plants it has ever been our 
pleasure to see, plants are of medium height, 
very dark heavy foliage, straight dark stems 
carry the flowers well above the plant. Recom¬ 
mended for its distinctiveness in coloring and 
beauty of shape. Exhibition size. 
Roots $1.00. 
JEAN TRIMBEE (Trimbee 85) 
1930, Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. A dahlia that 
is classified as a Semi-Cactus, but really should 
be in the Informal Decorative Class, out of fair¬ 
ness to the former class. The petals are heavy, 
and not only are they revolute, but they curl and 
twist, making a massive yet artistic flower of a 
beautiful petunia violet. Strong, vigorous grower. 
Roots $1.00. 
JERSEY’S MELODY, S. C. (Waite) 
Tyrian rose shading to silver on the tips with a 
silver reverse. A very striking variety on fine 
stiff stems that will give you a wealth of bloom. 
Roots $1.00. Plants 50c. 
JIM MOORE (Loller 86) 
Roots $1.00.

LORD OF AUTUMN, I. D. (Almy) 
Declared by experts, the most wonderful yellow 
dahlia yet produced, several even saying the most 
wonderful dahlia of any color. A monster bloom 
12 x 9 inches, whose long, pointed and slightly 
twisted petals recurve till the stem is completely 
hidden for 8 or 9 inches. Cane-like stems hold 
the monster blooms facing up (like a giant 
mum), to facing you. The dimensions given are 
for field culture with absolutely no forcing or 
feeding and very slight (if any) disbudding. In 
other words: grown naturally, just as any ama¬ 
teur can grow it. Honor Roll 1933. 
Roots $4.00. Plants $2.00.

ORIENTAL GLORY, I. D. 
(Delight-U Garden) 
There are so many dahlias following the same 
color tone that it is an innovation when one ap¬ 
pears with a shading that is just a little different 
than the other. Such a dahlia is Oriental Glory. 
The flowers are brilliant, dazzling balls of deep 
orange; and how we need this color on the ex¬ 
hibition table. Fine, robust grower with excellent 
stems. On the Honor Roll. 
Roots $2.00. Plants $1.00.
