SHAKE! 
Words cannot express our gratitude for your splendid loyalty 
in supporting our industry through the past strenuous years. 
In days gone by we were "down” several times, but never "out.” 
Perhaps you can say the same. If so, then we are all better 
after a stiff jolt or two. 
Happy days are near at hand; hard work and straight think¬ 
ing will put us all out in front where we belong, and where we 
intend to stay. 
What do you say? 
Are you going along with us?

(^OCXe) 
This question is asked many times, and of course everyone 
has a right to his or her opinion. We all know Murphy’s 
Masterpiece is a whale of a flower, and no question about it, 
but when you come right down to brass tacks, show us a better 
red than "DWIGHT W. MORROW” and the dinner will be 
on us. If we had just room for one dahlia it would be Dwight 
W. Morrow, that is just what we think about the best red 
dahlia. But if you want two good fighters to send to war, grow 
them both, you can’t go wrong. 
Dwight W. Morrow (I.D.) "Dahlidel”—Bloom 12x6, Bush 
5!4 ft. The gigantic red dahlia that was the sensation of the 
year in our garden. Many blooms 12 inches across and six 
inches deep on six-foot robust plants. The finest dahlia we 
have ever seen. It never fades or burns_Root .75 Plant .40 
Murphy’s Masterpiece (I.D.) "Murphy” 1932 — This giant 
red dahlia could have been very appropriately named SEEK 
NO FURTHER, for when it comes to winning in the largest 
bloom class, it is the recognized leader. It is quite safe to say, 
it was the largest winner in this class of any dahlia exhibited 
in the 1933 eastern show. If you expect to carry off the blue 
ribbon in the largest bloom class you have simply got to have 
Murphy’s Masterpiece to do the trick. The flowers can be 
grown up to 14 inches and over in size, and it grows large with¬ 
out much encouragement. The color is dark red, shading to¬ 
ward garnet, and it will withstand much sun heat without 
fading or burning. The plant is a strong grower, and is a 
generous producer of large, perfectly gorgeous exhibition 
blooms, that are held high above the top leaves on rigid stems 
that never go saxophone shape. The greatest red dahlia to 
date, and the greatest prize winner of all the dahlias of its 
color - Plants .75
