DAHLIAS 
That Are Still Going to Town 
Adirondack Sunset (I.D.) 1935 "Parkway”—This is one of 
the greatest dahlias ever introduced, and one of the most spec¬ 
tacular, and it attracts everyone’s attention. The color is a vivid 
scarlet, shading to a bright canary yellow at the base, giving 
the large blooms the striking sunset colors. The mammoth 
blooms are held facing sideways on long, stiff stems. The plant 
averages about six feet in height. This 1935 Honor Roll dahlia 
won the popular vote at the New York Botanical Gardens. 
The originator believes it will be grown to the mammoth size 
of 15 inches. It never fades; it stands the hotest sun. Plants .75 
Amelia Earhart (S.C.) "Cordes”—Bloom 12x6, Bush 4 ft. 
This gorgeous dahlia was a consistent winner wherever shown, 
having two American Home Achievement Medals and many 
other prizes to its credit. Color is apricot buff with salmon 
tints shading to soft yellow at base of petals. One might 
picture it as an improved Edna Ferber of larger size, better 
stems, and with more gold and less rose shading. One of the 
great prize winners of today_Plants .50 
America’s Sweetheart (I.D.) 1935 "Nunneviller” — An 
immense variety that is very outstanding among the new intro¬ 
ductions. Color is a pure yellow without a particle of shading. 
Even the outer petals do not fade out like those in most dahlias. 
Many of the petals are double serated, and curl and twist as 
the bloom develops. They fold back to the stem, reminding 
one of a huge chrysanthemum. The flower is held facing the 
heaven on an absolutely straight, stiff and sturdy stem, the 
flowers are full and with high centers, and were grown by the 
originators to more than 12 inches across, in the open field 
without irrigation or fertilizer, so that when it is grown with 
fertilizer and water it can be grown to gigantic size. Many 
who have seen this dahlia say it is the best dahlia to date. 
Plant averages about five feet, and is a strong, vigorous 
grower _Plants 1.50

Betty Colter (I.D.) "Redfern”—Prominent judges have given 
this 1931 Honor Roll dahlia special favor. The color is a 
distinct even shade of light salmon red throughout, shading to 
old rose at base of long rolled petals. Stems and poise 
superb -Roots .40 
Buckeye King (F.D.)—Beautiful shade of gold. Plant growth 
is prolific and uniform. Long stiff stems that hold the monster 
blooms erect. Due to the plants vigorousness it should be dis¬ 
budded regularly for large bloom__Roots .50 
Cavalcade (F.D.) "Groll”—This 1935 dahlia was a great sen¬ 
sation at the Mid-West Dahlia Show in Grand Rapids. It 
resembles Jersey’s Beauty in form, but it is much larger, and 
has stronger stems. Color deep rose. Height about 5 Vi feet. 
Another great cut flower, and a great winner in floral ar¬
