Dr. Aurelia Reinhardt (Dirks-Salbach 1935). 
D. A most outstanding dahlia named in 
honor of one of the West’s most renowned 
educators, the president of Mills College, 
Oakland, California. Raised by W. N. Dirks 
from a packet of Salbach selected seed and 
introduced exclusively by ourselves. 
Dr. Reinhardt herself says of this splendid 
new dahlia: “So rare in color and so beauti¬ 
ful and large that it will be grown in many 
gardens, I do believe.” 
The blooms, which are pure rose color 
(Ridgway) are on long cane-like stems 
which carry the flowers well above the foli¬ 
age, and the “Mrs. Carl Salbach-Air Mail” 
type growth assures the finest cut-flowers 
with little or no disbudding. A “Best Keeper.” 
Considering the color, stem, growth and 
remarkable keeping qualities, we regard Dr. 
Aurelia Reinhardt as one of the finest gen¬ 
eral cut-flowers ever produced.$3.00
