SUCCESS DAHLIA GARDENS, LAWRENCE, MASSACHUSETTS 
HAPPY CHOICE (Inf. Dec.) —Although 
it is on the border line of the formal 
type. From among the new sorts we 
chose this one to introduce and we con¬ 
sider it a HAPPY CHOICE. Upstand¬ 
ing, very large and free blooming, with 
the blooms above the foliage on the best 
of rigid long stems, it is one of the largest 
we have grown, 13 inches without forcing. 
Insects do not like this variety, it is too 
sturdy and thrifty for them to feast on. 
The color is very pleasing, but hard to 
describe, perhaps the best description 
would be, light salmon orange with tones 
of coral pink. Yes, rt has a Show record, 
runner up at one Show for the Achieve¬ 
ment Medal and three firsts as an undis¬ 
seminated seedling. Just started on its 
journey in the footsteps of our former 
introductions. We do not exaggerate 
about our Dahlias and when we say, this 
is' one of the best of our introductions, 
we mean it. If you do not agree, we are 
ready to refund the purchase price. 
Root $5.00. Plant $2.50. 
IDA PERKINS (Dec.)— One of the best 
exhibition whites to date. Root $1.00. 
JESSIE CRAWFORD (Inf. Dec.)— This 
variety is offered through the courtesy of 
George W. Fraser, president of the 
American Dahlia Society. It is of course 
an Honor Roll Dahlia, in fact it was on 
two Honor Rolls in 1934. We can call it 
very nicely an ivory white with blend¬ 
ings of cattleya pink, with petal tips a 
deep cattleya rose, so much admired in 
the cattleya orchid. The bloom is large 
and held erect on the best of stems well 
above the foliage. Root $7.50. Plant $3.50. 
KARIOL (C.) —One of the most at¬ 
tractive Cactus Dahlias that we have 
seen. In size this in keeping with the 
cactus type, free blooming, perfect stems, 
color salmon pink, with light yellow at 
base of petals. Winner of many awards. 
Root $1.00. 
LAVINIA BROOMALL (Am. Cac.) — 
Color light orange-yellow to capucine 
yellow, shaded coral-pink. No description 
can fully describe this new creation. To 
grow it will be a joy forever. Stock 
limited. Height, 3 feet. Root $1.00. 
LORD OF THE AUTUMN (Inf. Dec.) — 
This variety did its full share of prize 
winning and no doubt will be a future as 
one of the standard varieties. The color 
is deep golden yellow and the blooms are 
of the largest size, making it most de¬ 
sirable for exhibition. 
Root $4.00. Plant $2.00. 
MISS BELGIUM (Cac.)—Perhaps there 
are few Dahlias of medium size before 
the public today that have attracted more 
attention than Miss Belgium. In 1934 this 
creation was quite popular with the 
judges at the Boston, Mass., Dahlia Ex¬ 
hibition, when they were awarding the 
prize for the best bloom in the show. It 
is always covered with bloom with wiry, 
but perfect, long stiff stems. Color, bright 
orange red. Root $1.00. 
MY MOTHER (I. Dec.) —Anew medium 
size white Dahlia with fine habits. The 
best of stems holding bloom erect. 
Root $1.00. 
MARIANNA (Semi-Cactus)—It is a 
beautiful Amaranth pink with a silver 
sheen which greatly enhances its beauty. 
Description does not do this fine exhibi¬ 
tion Dahlia justice. It must be grown 
to appreciate its real beauty. To grow it 
is to love it. A 1934 introduction that 
more than made good. 
Root $3.00. Plant $1.50. 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (D.)—This 
great Dahlia compares favorably with 
Fort Monmouth, Violet Wonder, Jane 
Cowl, Kathleen Norris, and other top 
notchers of recent introduction. It in¬ 
stantly found favor with all who saw it in 
our gardens and the show rooms by its 
great size and brilliant orange flame 
color that fairly glistens from its own 
color .. Root $1.00. 
MONTALVO (Inf. Dec.) —Golden bronze 
shading to a deep bronze center. Size 
seems to characterize most of our in¬ 
troductions this year, but not at the ex¬ 
pense of beauty. We have been asked 
repeatedly for extremely large ones and 
this time we are able to supply them with 
a vengeance. Montalvo is another 12 inch 
Dahlia when grown with ordinarily good 
care and it has proportionate depth and 
strength of stem. Root $1.00. 
MURPHY'S MASTERPIECE (Inf. Dec.) 
Since we introduced this variety it has 
won in almost every class where it has 
been exhibited. It stands at the top as 
the largest and best decorative winner 
not only for 1933 but also for 1934, and 
with the new crop of introductions for 
1935 it has cleaned up almost all oposi- 
tion. There is no other red that is even 
near it today. Satan, the semi-cactus, 
another of our introductions, has battled 
it when it came to picking out the 
largest and best bloom in the show. We 
have two certified certificates from two 
customers describing one bloom of 17 
inches and another 17*4 inches in 
diameter. Who can beat this for size? 
Our stock is very limited, therefore would 
advise ordering field grown stock direct 
from the introducer now. You are sure 
to get good stock, correctly tagged and 
guaranteed to please. 
Root $4.00. Plant $2.00. 
MAST A DON (Inf. Dec.) —Some growers 
describe this as semi-Cactus but perhaps 
it would be better to place it under the 
informal decorative class, anyway, it is a 
gem of the first water. It is one of those 
Dahlias that lingers long in one’s memory, 
it has color, it has size, stem and every¬ 
thing to place it among the leaders from 
abroad. It is massive in size, color is 
rich amber or apricot. No collection is 
complete without this new Dahlia with 
its new color. Root $1.00. 
NORRINE NEWSOM (Inf. Dec.)— It is a 
new and most beautiful variety of pure 
burnt orange. Flowers are larsre, carried 
on extra long, straight stems and of 
perfect form.. Root $2.00. 
NOB HILL (I. Dec.) —Pale orange. Oc¬ 
casionally you see a bed of Dahlias con¬ 
taining so many blooms that there does 
not seem to be room for one more. That 
is how Nob Hill looked last September.
