Jersey’s Beacon—A favorite with many gardeners and one of 
the finest of all dahlias. Of enormous size and carried on 
elegant long and strong stems. Chinese-scarlet with lighter 
reverse _Roots .40 
Jane Cowl (I.D.) "Downs”—Bloom 10x6, Bush 5 54 ft. Im¬ 
mense blooms, deep and full of glistening bronze buff. The 
stems are long and stiff and straight; and they hold the flower 
just as it should be held—looking at you and slightly up. 
The bush is fairly tall, with vigorous, thick, dark green foliage. 
No Dahlia has given more universal satisfaction than Jane 
Cowl, and no other has won so many prizes since it was intro¬ 
duced in 1928_$1 per dozen; Roots .15 
Jean Trimbee (S.C.) "Trimbee”—Bloom 10x5, Bush 5 ft. 
Massive yet artistic with long, revolute petals that curl and 
twist. The color is a beautiful petunia violet making it popular 
as an exhibition dahlia. A tall, vigorous grower with long, 
erect stems -Plants .50 
Jersey’s Beauty (F.D.) "Waite 86”—Bloom 6x4, Bush 654 ft. 
Probably the most popular of any dahlia, especially as a cut 
flower. The ideal pink for exhibition or florist use. Large, 
deep flowers of perfect form on long stems. Free, early 
bloomer, with exceptional keeping qualities_Roots .25 
Kemp’s Violet Wonder—A new and beautiful shade of rich 
aniline-violet with an underlying tone of royal purple. Plants .50 
Karl Bonawitz (S.C.) "Dahliadel 86”—Bloom 8x5, Bush 5 54 
ft. The ability of this dahlia to withstand varied climatic 
conditions throughout the country has won it many friends 
and, in nearly all cases, it has gone far beyond expectations. 
The brilliant, velvety carmine flowers are artistic and graceful 
in form. Although dark in color for a commercial cut flower, 
it is a wonderful keeper and arranges well with lighter dahlias. 
It comes the nearest to developing a perfect bush without top¬ 
ping or disbudding of any dahlia we know_Plants .50 
Kathleen Norris (I. D.) "F. & M. 87”—Bloom 10x5, Bush 
5 54 ft. This outstanding exhibition dahlia is a true rose pink, 
deepening to mallow pink, with young central petals a lighter 
shade. Petals are broad and overlap each other. Blooms are 
held erect on long, strong stems. You will find this dahlia, 
is still a great winner_Plants .25; Roots .50 
Lord of Autumn (I.D.) "Almy”—Bush 454 ft. Mr. J. A. 
Kemp quotes as follows: "This is the most sensational dahlia 
we have ever grown, regardless of color, and is by far the great¬ 
est yellow dahlia we have ever seen. The color is a deep 
golden yellow, which is sustained until the last petal has 
withered. The flowers grow to an enormous size, and without 
forcing we had blooms the past season that measured over 13 
inches across and nearly 9 inches in depth on long stiff 
stems, that held the flowers high above the foliage. The for¬ 
mation is wonderful, as the long pointed and slightly twisting 
petals recurve until the stem is hidden from view for 6 or 8 
inches. The plant is a strong, vigorous grower and very pro¬ 
lific of blooms.” In fact I think, with strict disbudding, dis¬ 
branching and forcing, it can be grown to the mammoth size 
of 16 inches or more. This dehlia is the giant of giants. It 
never fades or burns. Truly it is the greatest exhibition dahlia 
ever introduced -Roots #1.00 Plants .50 
Lincoln G. Dickey—Color, primrose yellow with a decided rose 
suffusion. One of the earliest to bloom and continues to pro¬ 
duce large, beautiful flowers on neat, long, stiff stems_Roots .25 
Margaret W. Wilson—A magnificent dahlia in every respect. 
Wonderful bloomer, huge blossoms of creamy-white, shaded 
pink. We grow large quantities of this very fine 
dahlia -----Roots 25c each; three for .50
