Lavender Lady (Salbach 1936). F. D. A beau¬ 
tiful formal decorative of very large size, 
elegance of form and coloring, with good 
growing habits. Won first as best two year 
old seedling at the California Flower Festi¬ 
val, 1934. Color clear delicate lavender shad¬ 
ing deeper at tips of petals. A good stock 
permits us to introduce it at.$5.00 
Lord of Autumn (Almy). A fine big yellow that 
has swept the East and was a sell-out last 
year. Completely distinct and most desirable 
because of its deepest yellow coloring. A very 
great acquisition and in our opinion the best 
of the many new yellow varieties. A “Best 
Keeper” .$5.00 
Magnificent (Broomall). A splendid cactus, 
golden center shading through light salmon 
orange to pink at the tips of the petals. .. 50c

Keeper,” and blooms immense.$5.00 
Miss Berkeley (Salbach). Withdrawn for the 
season to increase stock. 
Mrs. Alfred B. Seal (Seal). I. D. A beautiful 
old rose decorative. The flowers are huge, 
of great depth and substance. Strong, tall 
bushes with excellent stems.60c 
Mrs. Carl Salbach (Salbach). F. D. One of the 
most dependable of all dahlias. A sturdy, 
vigorous grower, full of blooms and a fine 
tuber maker. The flowers, which are uni¬ 
formly symmetrical, are a beautiful orchid 
shade and are borne on long stout stems. The 
bushes are stately in the garden. One of the 
“Best Keepers” .40c 
New Pink Delice. F. D. Pure La France pink, 
splendid for cutting. Fine stems and a “Best 
Keeper” . 40c

semi-cactus dahlias grown. Pure deep rose 
pink, very bright and clear. Fine habit. .60c 
Pink Ambassador (Von Issendorf - Salbach 
1935). S. C. Named for Ambassador, which 
it resembles in form. The color, however, is 
a beautiful saffrano pink, shading to cream 
yellow at the center of the flower.$1.50 
Queen of the Garden Beautiful. F. D. An enor¬ 
mous primrose yellow decorative. Has been 
awarded numerous first prizes as the largest

tiful large ivory white dahlia of perfect form. 
Full, deep and of wonderful substance. A 
profuse bloomer. The peer of all white dah¬ 
lias. Does not burn. One of the “Best Keep¬ 
ers” .50c 
Sanhican’s Cameo (Fisher & Masson). F. D. 
Immense flowers in a new color—coral rose 
with glistening golden sheen—this outstand¬ 
ing new dahlia qualifies as one of the best 
for both show and cutting uses. 
First as largest dahlia at the California 
Flower Festival, 1934, we believe that this 
huge variety can consistently compete with 
even the giant Kaweah for size. A “Best 
Keeper,” fine stems, good habits and des¬ 
tined for a long period of popularity.. .$2.00 
Satan (Ballay 1932). S. C. This splendid dahlia 
is, we think, the most striking dahlia in com¬ 
merce today. Its horn-shaped petals give it 
a form that is entirely distinct and un¬ 
usually graceful. Satan is of huge size and 
its color is a brilliant carmine. A Roll of 
Honor dahlia and first as best flower in both 
San Francisco dahlia shows, 1932. A “Best 
Keeper”.$2.00 
Sweet Briar (Stredwick). C. A beautiful rose 
pink cactus. Very free flowering.75c

large flower of dark rose red, almost black

pery bronze. Good form and one of the
