NOVELTIES 
CHARLES L. MASTICK (FD). Winner of first as best un¬ 
disseminated Dahlia in Portland in 1934 and the Achieve¬ 
ment Medal in 1935 in the shows of the Portland Dahlia 
Society, Oregon. It has been grown four years and has 
never been propagated. A seedling of Jane Cowl, it has 
attracted attention from its first blossom and was admired 
by all. “The color is a'rich, bright orange, deepening to a 
darker orange at the center. The reverse is grenadine pink; 
and due to the unusual form of the Dahlia, in which the 
edges of the petals have a tendency to incurve, the bright 
color on the reverse gives a very live appearance to the 
globular-shaped flower,” The above description is from the 
pen of Mr. Derrill W. Hart. 
Strong, vigorous plants hold the immense blooms well 
aloft on cane-like stems and are a mass of bloom from 
mid-season to frost. Shou’d be grown to four canes and 
freely disbudded for best results. $20.00 
MARIE DRESSLER (FD). Introduced by The Vernon Floral 
Company in 1934, it was withdrawn from circulation at the 
end of its first season and will make its appearance this 
year as a practically new Dahlia. A strong, hardy grower 
of the most exquisite shade of pomegranate red, it resem¬ 
bles its parent, Jersey’s Beauty, in every particular except 
in color and it is larger. It is always the center of attrac¬ 
tion whenever shown, and won for us at the Portland 
Show, a l)lne ribbon for the best red Formal Decorative. 
$10.00 
AUDREY AMES (FD). (Ames-Tyler). We are introducers, 
on this Coast, of this new color sensation. An immense 
pure old rose, nothing like it in color. Stem perfect and 
form all that could be desired, with florets curving l)ack 
to stem. Generous bloomer on healthy, medium height bush.
