Giant 
Show Room 
Champions 
QUR Dahlias are giant show 
room champions, as evi¬ 
denced by the many impor¬ 
tant winnings they made in 
the leading shows throughout 
the country the past season. 
Read the Fall issues of the 
various Dahlia magazines and 
convince yourself that our 
America s Sweetheart won more cups, trophys and other im¬ 
portant prizes in the leading shows than any other dahlia 
released during 1935. 
It is the performance of our introductions in the hands of 
our cust mers that tells the story. 
Here are some new ones for 1936 that will tell the story 
again this year: 
ROYAL PURCHASE 
ROYAL 
PURCHASE 
Here is an incurved cactus that at¬ 
tains immense size. The bloom is 
full and deep and grows high out of 
the bush on long, straight stems. 
The color is a deep straw yellow with 
outer petals suffused with pink. The 
petals twist and turn, giving the 
bloom a shaggy appearance. The 
bush is four to five feet high, an 
early bloomer, is clean growing and 
resists insects. Prominent judges 
who saw this variety growing in our 
field the past season say it is a 
knockout and a rival to our Amer¬ 
ica’s Sweetheart. Shown three times 
—three firsts.

STREAMLINE 
An informal decorative that has 
about everything a good dahlia 
should have. While it may not grow 
quite as large as some dahlias, many 
of the blooms will measure a foot 
across. In color it is a beautiful old 
rose suffused with carmine rose and 
very attractive. It has substance, 
and long, straight stems, while in 
form it is very artistic. The bloom 
is full with an unusually high center 
and petals fold well back to the stem 
—a genuine streamlined dahlia. 
Bush grows five to six feet high, has 
dark green foliage and is insect re¬ 
sistant. Shown once, at Chicago, 
winning first.
