El Granada (Bessie Boston). I. D. A glorious 
orange, showing a rich creamy yellow on the 
reverse of the curling petals.$1.50 
Ellinor Vandeveer (Seal). Blooms large, of 
great depth and substance and held high on 
exceptionally long, stiff stems. One of the 
“Best Keepers.” Rose pink.40c 
Flaming Meteor (Barker). I. D. Flaming 
orange-scarlet deepening to burnt orange at 
center. Flower large and deep, with splendid 
form. One of “Best Keepers”.75c 
Forest Fire (Dahliadel 1935). I. D. A most 
spectacular dahlia that is a distinct improve¬ 
ment over the popular El Granada. Very 
striking, being colored scarlet, with a suffu¬ 
sion of yellow on each petal.$5.00 
Francesca (Carbone). F. D. Deep tourmaline 
pink, lit by bright yellow suffusion at the 
base of petals. Fine stiff stems. One of the 
“Best Keepers”.50c 
Frank Serpa ( Ser pa-Salbach 1935). F. D. This 
remarkable dahlia, raised by an Oakland, 
Calif., amateur, has been the sensation of 
the show table in the San Francisco Bay 
region. An Achievement Medal winner and 
winner of many additional prizes in 1934 and 
three “best flower in the show” awards in 
1935. 
General effect light amaranth pink, pro¬ 
duced by petal tips of mallow pink that grow 
lighter towards the base of the petals, paling 
to a delicate orchid pink. This two-toned ef¬ 
fect gives the flower a beautiful, clear, crisp 
appearance that makes it a real aristocrat. 
Holds its color well under artificial light. 
Each .$7.50 
Gertrude Ederle (Bessie Boston). I. D. Soft 
primrose yellow. A profuse bloomer and one 
of the “Best Keepers.” We recommend this 
variety as one of the very best yellow dahlias 
for cut-flower purposes.75c 
Golden Bronze ( Salbach 193J t ). S. C. A fine 
all-around dahlia, shaped very much like 
Conquistador, but of a distinct, warm color¬ 
ing. Frosted gold, faintly tinged bronze, 
deepening toward center. Similar in color 
to the old Golden West, but with blooms 
twice the size. One of “Best Keepers.” Fine, 
prolific bloomer. Each.$2.50 
Golden Standard (Downs 1935). A splendid 
new introduction. Semi-cactus of fine form 
and large size. Buff, shading to amber. A 
“Best Keeper,” with good growing habit. 
Similar to Golden Bronze, but without the 
bronze shading.$5.00 
Gladys Champion ( Champion ) . P. A very large 
peony dahlia of apricot yellow, jasper red on 
reverse of petals. A profuse bloomer which 
thrives in warm climates.40c 
Grace Houston (Houston-Salbach 1931). I. D. 
A large decorative of pure rose pink color, 
fluffy and graceful. Stems long and wiry. 
Awarded first prize as the best pink deco¬ 
rative in Tri-State Show at Smyth County 
Fair, Virginia. Most attractive. This fine 
dahlia was grown by Mrs. Houston from Sal¬ 
bach Seed.$1.50 
Golden Pacific (Gill). I. D. One of the finest 
of the gold colored dahlias. As rich a pure 
glistening gold as Paul Michael and fully as 
large a flower. Blooms early and freely. Fine 
stem and a good keeper.$1.00 
Inkyo (McWhirter). A deepest maroon—al¬ 
most black—semi-cactus. Should be in every 
garden, as it is not only full of blooms, but is 
unexcelled as a cut flower. In our tests for 
the “Best Keepers,” Inkyo outlasted all the 
rest. Has been known to keep nearly a week 
.50c 
Ivory (Bessie Boston). F. D. A large exquis¬ 
itely beautiful broad-petaled ivory white of 
perfect form. The flower is full and deep, 
does not burn and keeps indefinitely. Fine 
stem .$1.00 
Jane Cowl (Downs). I. D. One of the few 
graceful giants. It is an immense, glisten¬ 
ing, bronzy buff and old gold, with just 
enough twist to the broad petals to make it 
beautiful. Free blooming and excellent for 
cutting and show purposes. First prize as 
best dahlia in California Flower Festival, 
1931. One of the “Best Keepers”.40c 
Jerome Kern (Veile and Mendham). Pale 
pinkish buff, faintly suffused gold, this new 
Eastern dahlia is most attractive. Splendid 
in the East for all purposes as the centers 
come closed. Even better for general cutting 
in this part of California as the orange pol¬ 
len center, surrounded by a twisted and 
curled ring of center petals, gives a more 
graceful effect than that of the more formal 
types. Produces a profusion of blooms and 
is a “Best Keeper.” Each.$2.50 
Jersey’s Beacon (Waite). A very spectacular 
bright scarlet with buff reflex. Large, good 
stems, and a “Best Keeper”.40c 
Jersey’s Beauty (Waite). F. D. This salmon 
pink dahlia is one of the best cut flowers 
grown; probably the most popular of all 
dahlias. One of the “Best Keepers”.40c 
Kathleen Norris (Fisher and Masson). I. D. A 
huge and beautiful light pink. Has won 
countless prizes in flower shows.75c 
Kaweah (Miss Meussdorffer 1931). F. D. This 
tremendously large dahlia, which won first 
at the California Flower Festival (largest 
flower show in the West) in 1931 and again 
in 1932 is one of the big ones that does not 
sacrifice color or form to size. This is amply 
shown by the fact that the sixteen - inch 
giant which won first as largest flower at the 
C. F. F. also took first as the best flower 
in the show in 1932. As grown by the orig¬ 
inator, this flower grows consistently from 
fourteen to sixteen inches across with good 
depth. Best dahlia exhibited, Century of 
Progress, 1933. Color rose pink.$2.50 
Kentucky (Wiggington). F. D. A sport of 
Jersey’s Beauty, retaining the same shape 
and keeping qualities. Light salmon orange, 
shading to grenadine pink. One of the “Best 
Keepers”.50c
