DR. JOSEPH SCHEINER (Semi-Cac.) 
—Here is a Dahlia that is a real as well 
as distinctive novelty, not only on ac¬ 
count of its large size and great depth, 
but by its formation, which resemble 
hugh chrysanthemums and attract every¬ 
one to it. The color is a soft lilac and

blooms are held erect, facing the heaven 
on top of good, strong, stiff stems, well

at the center, the blooms are held at a 
forty-five degree angle, on strong, sturdy, 
cane-like stems, well out of and above 
the bush, with heavy, leathery, insect-re¬ 
sistant leaves. A good prolific bloomer, 
and a grand variety for either the garden 
or for exhibition purposes. A good strong 
grower, with self-branching habits.

EAGLE ROCK FANTASY (I. Dec.)— 
There are a very few Dahlias that never 
seem to grow old and this is one of the

was awarded the largest and best bloom 
shown by amateur in England, 1935. 
Root $2.00. 
ELEGANCE (Semi-Cac.)— Center and 
tips of petals yellow, body of flower

ideal habits.Root $3.50 
EUGENIA BALLAY (Inf. Dec.)—Rich 
Cream. This Dahlia won as the Best Es¬

EDWARD G. BARNES (Inf. Dec.) — 
This is a grand imported variety that 
has quality blazing torth in every way, 
the habits of the plants are perfect, the 
finest of long stiff stems, but the real 
attraction is its color, cream at center to 
pure white. It is massive in size.

inches and are held erect far above bush 
on long stiff stems. Root $1.50.

colors in a flower that shows equal ad¬ 
vancement in other respects. Root $2.50.
