PRINCE OF PERSIA (Newson, 1932), I. D. 
A very striking bright red exhibition Dahlia of the 
most irridescent rich-glowing crimson. The petals are 
of great depth and substance, making an unusually 
deep, attractive flower. Bush is vigorous, robust and 
very tall. This Dahlia attracted more visitors’ atten¬ 
tion than any other in my garden in 1933. (H. R.) 
Roots $ .75 
PRINCETONIAN (Colvin), I. D. 
A massive deep flower, color a blend of light orange 
yellow and coral pink, the petals are very long and 
broad at the base and taper to a point, with a very 
high center; they twist and curl in a most enchanting 
manner, a real beauty. The flowers are held at a forty- 
five degree angle on very strong, cane-like stems, well 
out of and high above the tall bush with exceptionally 
large heavy insect-resistant foliage. Height, six to 
seven feet. 
Plants $1.50, Roots $3.00 
PURPLE WONDER (Kemp, 1933), I. D. 
The predominating color of this fine Dahlia is pansy 
purple, with rose hued lavender reverse. The blooms 
range up to 11 inches across and 6 inches in depth. 
Are full centered, and are held facing well above the 
dark foliage on stiff stems. Foliage very thick, dark 
colored, and so tough in texture, insects make but 
little headway in damaging it. 
Plants $1.25, Roots $2.50 
R. A. BROOMFIELD (Petrie-Chappaqua), I. D. 
A Dahlia of great beauty and vigor, color a glorious 
saffron orange, flushed with rose. The flowers are 
large and of wonderful formation, with great sub¬ 
stance and keeping qualites, and are held facing side¬ 
ways on strong stiff stems, well above the vigorous 
growing bush, with dark green insect-resistant foliage. 
The plant is a fine clean grower and makes a shapely 
bush about five feet high and is always loaded with 
flowers from early until frost. No collection is com¬ 
plete without it. 
Plants $1.50, Roots $3.50 
RAINBOW’S END, I. D. 
A new introduction by our good friend Walter Bissell. 
The coloring of this Dahlia is all that the name indi¬ 
cates—the petals are scarlet with empire yellow tips 
and maize yellow reverse—a most unusual and beau¬ 
tiful combination. The flowering habits are good and 
the plant is strong, healthy and insect-resisting. 
Scored 82 at Storrs in 1932 and has won first honors 
wherever exhibited. We recommend Rainbow’s End 
from every standpoint. 
Plants $1.00, Roots $2.00
