BLUE RIVER 
SALEM 
CARNELIAN 
A blue dahlia? No, not quite. It 
is a blue French violet, the nearest 
to a blue dahlia that we have ever 
seen; a formal decorative and one of 
the big fellows. It grows about four 
feet high and blooms early. If early 
buds are removed you will have long, 
straight stems, with blooms ten to 
twelve inches above the first set of 
leaves. A large stock allows us to 
make a very low price on this at¬ 
tractive variety. 
Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.75 
A very large red informal decora¬ 
tive, perhaps a shade or two darker 
than Murphy’s Masterpiece and a 
very deep flower. Bush grows about 
five feet tall and blooms during mid¬ 
season. We have a large stock, thus 
the low price. 
Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
THE GATEWAY 
A large informal decorative of the 
B. & B. Gardens, the outstanding 
dahlia at the Detroit Show. Oriental 
yellow and soft rose bloom with 
deeply crinkled petals on a straight 
stem—a decided break. Bush six 
feet high. Plants, $7.50 
MID WEST CHAMPION 
MID-WEST 
CHAMPION 
An American Dahlia Farms seed¬ 
ling winning Certificate of Merit at 
both East Lansing Trial Grounds and 
Storrs during 1935. Informal decor¬ 
ative on a stiff stem; large bloom of 
violet rose with primrose yellow at 
base of petals; bush five feet. 
Roots, $10.00; Plants, $5.00 
PRIDE OF 
AMERICA 
Another American Dahlia Farms 
seedling, a true semi-cactus on a 
long, straight, stiff stem; bloom llx 
10 inches; color, primrose yellow 
tinted pink on reverse of petals; 
bush five to six feet. We predict this 
semi-cactus will be a leader in this 
class for a long time to come. 
Roots, $15.00; Plants, $7.50
