■"PHIS past season we made very careful studies in the field as well as in the exhibition rooms. 
-*■ The results are reflected in the varieties offered here. We have limited the list to those we 
believe to be the most reliable and outstanding in the Dahlia world today.

geous Dahlia has been a consistent winner 
wherever shown, being awarded the "Ameri¬ 
can Home" medals both at New York and 
Baltimore. Color is apricot-buff with salmon tints 
shading to yellow at base of petals. Individual 
blooms reach 12 in. across. A very fine, strong 
grower. Extra strong, field-grown tuber, $5. Ex¬ 
tra strong, well rooted, potgrown plant, $2.50. 
ANDREA ERICSON (Informal Decorative): A 
truly magnificent pure white exhibition Dahlia. 
The huge flower is composed of broad oval 
petals with pointed and slightly twisted tips 
which give the flower a fine fluffy appearance.

green and insect resisting. Very free flowering

clear golden yellow with salmon and flesh 
shadings at the center. Producing fine sturdy 
plants with the flowers carried well above the

the most reliable. It is a fine cutflower, as well 
as an exhibition variety with wonderful keep¬ 
ing qualities. Extra heavy, field-grown tuber, $2.

derful Dahlia has been a success wherever

prolific bloomer. Extra heavy, field-grown tuber,

Dahlia that will appeal to anyone. It is possibly 
the best clear yellow exhibition Dahlia to date.

exhibition Chrysanthemum. A good strong 
grower. Extra heavy, field-grown tuber, $5.
