BALDAY-SUCCESS DAHLIAS “GIANTS OF THE SHOW ROOM" 
23 
Still More Facts 
At New York show 7 , “Margaret E. Broomall” was the best w 7 hite and the best bloom 
in the amateur division. This variety was shown by Mr. and Mrs. A. Swoboda, Ridgefield 
Park, N. J. It was also the largest bloom in the show. If you could have visited the Dahlia 
exhibition held in Sapjtoro, Hokaido, Japan, in 1935, you w r ould have seen our introduction 
“Satan” being crowned the largest and best bloom in the show, just another 14-inch 
bloom of this champion. At the Columbus, Ind. Dahlia exhibition in 1935, there were over 
fifty seedlings on exhibition and in the report as published in the American Dahlia 
Society Bulletin, November issue, page 50, tw r o of our seedlings grown by Raymond H. 
Sparks won two first prizes, this again proves that our introductions are. larger and 
better. At Storrs' Conn. Trial Garden, our new 1936 introduction, “Miss Glory” pro¬ 
duced the largest bloom for the 1935 season, tw r elve inches, this was not so bad when it 
was contesting with about 150 other varieties, it w T as also the second highest scoring Dahlia 
in the garden and the largest semi-cactus at the trial gardens last season, and perhaps 
the largest bloom of any type on trial in 1935. We could go on and on telling about the 
continued success year after year of our introductions vanning more major awards than 
Dahlias from any other introducer. We have mentioned these recorded facts, so that 
you too can win your share of prizes if you have the right Dahlias to do it with. 
Cut-Flower Varieties 
We have had many inquiries for cut-flow 7 er varieties that can stand shipping and 
that can stand up extra well after cutting, so I wrote a large shipper of Dahlia bloom 
to the New 7 York market for a list of the best and most popular varieties, and naturally 
these being grown by thousands they are mostly 7 the older varieties, and every one is 
among the prize winners today. We take pleasure in recommending these Dahlias as 
the very best for cut-flowers, for home decorations or for roadside stands where there 
is a demand for out-flowers. Any varieties listed below 75 cents each, three for $2.00, 
six for $3.50, twelve for $6.00.
