and long. Winner of certificate.’’ This

crimson to deep cinnobar, perfect cactus 
as regards to form. The flowers are pro¬ 
duced in great abundance on long wiry 
stems, champion. Stock limited.

LEMON IA (Cactus) —This variety needs 
little introductory description, as it is the 
most talked imported Dahlias to date. It 
has won many prizes including the New 
York show in 1935. Color, yellow, free 
blooming. Root $3.00. 
LITTLE DREAM —This very beautiful 
small pink cactus is one of the very latest 
creations and has made hundreds of 
friends in the very short time it has 
been obtainable. It won the highest 
honors abroad in 1934 and 1935. Our stock 
is very limited.

LITTLE SNOW QU EEN— Another very 
small white cactus almost; an exact dupli¬ 
cate of Little Dream, except in color. The 
best of stems and surely is a queen. 
Stock limited. 
Root $2.00 net. Plant $1.00 net. 
LUCRETIA (I. Dec.) —Here is a Dahlia 
that grows as large naturally as any 
Dahlia that we have grown with two ex¬ 
ceptions. It grows larger and produces 
more enormous bloom at one time than 
our famous Murphy’s Masterpiece. We 
do not know how large it can be grown 
for exhibition bloom, but we are sure that 
none will be disappointed in growing it. 
Color, ecru heavily flushed begonia pink, 
or perhaps a pale buff would describe the 
color better. The stems are perfect, long 
and stiff. Mr. Hart has seen this Dahlia 
and pronounced it “Some Dahlia.” Stock 
limited, only 25 roots for sale this season. 
Money back if it is not better than my 
description. .. Root $10.00 net. Plant $5.00. 
MAJOR C. C. MESSERVY (Inf. Dec.)— 
This grand Dahlia was awarded the 
prize for best origination in England at 
the National Dahlia Exhibition in Eng¬ 
land in 1935. The flowers are of good 
size, growing naturally up around 11 
inches on the best of stems. Several 
exhibition bloom may be cut from one 
bush. Color yellow. Plant only $5.00 net. 
MRS. RICHARD TWYFORD (C.)—A 
fine addition to this class, bright scarlet 
in color, flowers carried on excellent 
stems, the plant is a sturdy grower, it 
will be a popular exhibition variety. 
Plant $5.00. 
MAVIS JONES (F. Dec.)— One of the 
largest in size. The plant is vigorous and 
the stems are long and strong, color, 
beautiful shade of golden salmon, suf¬ 
fused bronze making it a fine exhibition 
variety. Plant $5.00. 
MAY DAY (Inf. Dec.) —Rosy pink, Lgh.ly 
touched with go.d. A variety of medium 
s.ze that is an exceedingly prolific bloomer. 
Pleasing formation and excellent coloring 
that everyone loves. It wiil never win as 
the largest flower in the show, but with a 
few plants it would not be hard to have a 
vase or basket of 12 or even 25. At the Cali¬ 
fornia Flower Festival, where our display 
again received the First Prize, a large 
bowl of this Dahlia combined with the 
maroon colored blooms of Domino was a 
novel arrangement and one that attracted 
a great deal of attention. Certificate of 
Merit at Storrs. Root $5.00. Plant $2.50. 
NORTH STAR (Semi-Cac.)— Light yel¬ 
low. If this Dahlia were finer petaled, it 
would belong to that rare class of cactus 
called straight. The regularly formed 
flower is at once suggestive of a star. 
Size and stem are good and it is another 
that will supply many good flowers until 
late in the season. Furthermore, it is a 
good keeper and we do not hestitate to 
recommend it as a very useful and beauti¬ 
ful cut flower. Root $5.00. Plant $2.50. 
PRACHTKERL (Inc. C.) —Bordering to 
semi-cactus. Color, clear primrose yel¬ 
low, with good stem. On 1935 Honor 
Roll. Root $4.00 net. Plant $2.00. 
PINK SPIRAL (Inc. Cactus)— On Mr. 
Hart’s Honor Roll. 1935. Here is his 
description: “I believe that this Holland 
novelty will reach general popularity, and 
it certainly is among the best of the new 
foreign introductions. The color is peach- 
blossom pink, with a touch of primrose at 
base and center of the flower. The petals 
have a tendency not only to incurve, but 
to form a complete spiral arrangement 
around center.” . Root $3.00 net. 
SCHONE DUSSELDORFERIN (I. Dec.) 
—One of the best bicolor Dahlias that we 
have ever seen and it produces an 
abundance of exhibition bloom through¬ 
out the whole season. The color is crim¬ 
son red at base of petals, with pure white 
at tips of petals. It’s new and unusual. 
Try it. Root $3.00 net. Plant 1.50. 
SNOWSTORM —A new white that is 
of very large size. It is formal decora¬ 
tive in type, a remarkable fine flower, 
very deep in build, while the color is 
pure, the stems are long and rigid. 
Will make a fine addition to any collec¬ 
tion. Plant $5.00. 
SHENTENCHI (Inc. Cactus)— The first 
Japanese Dahlia to be listed on an honor 
roll in this country. Here is Mr. Hart’s 
description: “It was shown in Camden 
and at New York. It is a true incurved 
cactus type, with petals curving all the 
way to the center of the flower. The 
florets are narrow and completely revo¬ 
lute. Color is dark maroon on blooms 
about 7 to 8 inches.” We have grown 
this variety three years and it has been 
a great favorite with our visitors. 
Nothing like it when compared with any 
other Dahlia.
