EDWARD R TNE)ET ETSIE’ET (Rindfleisch). F. D. a clear, brilliant red that does not.

fine flower for the red class.

ELITE SPORT (Dahliadel). F. D. One of the most spectacular dahlias both in the field 
and at the exhibition. A sport of Elite- Glory, freer bloomer, flowers as 
large, color a soft shade of buff, striped and speckled crimson, often a soft rose shade in 
appearance. Unique coloring does not fade or burn in the sun. Sports usually revert to the 
original variety to a more or less degree. True to tradition this reverts about one in ten, but 
when it does you still have the magnificent old Elite Glory. Roots, $1.00; Plants, 50c 
HUNT (Hunt). I. D. A very beautiful white informal decorative, petals very numer¬ 
ous have a waxy appearance; stems long and stiff and hold the massive blooms 
well above foliage. Very fine. Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
FAYE BEATON (Beaton). I. D. An exceptionally fine white from Canada, profuse 
bloomer of well-formed flowers, suitable for cutting. 
Roots, $1.00; Plants, 75c 
FOREST FIRE (Dahliadel). An informal decorative of an unusually artistic form. Color 
lemon yellow at base of petals, heavily tipped rich scarlet and enhanced with 
yellow petaloids, this is the description from the color charts, but its real beauty or its distinc¬ 
tiveness cannot be so described. Its name “Forest Fire’’ describes just what it looks like, color 
ranging from pale yellow through golden to a dash of brilliant red, just as the flames rise and 
fall and show all these colors. Not a bi-colored dahlia but a dahlia that arrests the attention 
immediately whether in the field or the show room. Plant is sturdy and insect resisting, stems 
straight and strong. Received certificate of merit both at Storrs, Conn, and Lansing, Michigan, 
1934. Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25 
GOLDEN PRINCE (Weiss-Australia). I. D. One of the- finest varieties in our field the 
past season, has all the good points a dahlia should have, such as 
size, stem and beauty. Excellent formation, and may be grown, to 12 inches without coarseness. 
Color a beautiful gold flushed with bronze at edge of petals, an outstanding! variety in the field 
and show room. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.50 
HIT T CREST NT IGGET (Scott). I. D. Large deep flowers of apricot yellow with reddish 
suffusion on the reverse. Vigorous plants of medium height,

H R S (Seal). Named in honor of Hubert Roy Stovel. One of the 1934 introductions that did 
* exceedingly well in the East. The golden yellow blossoms grow huge without forcing and

long, strong stems. Plants have excellent habit of growth. Roots, $1.50; Plants, 75c 
HUNT’S VELVET WONDER 
(Hunt-Burnett). I. D. One of the giants of the ex¬ 
hibition table. Color a rich, bright violet burgundy, 
in some lights looks like royal purple. Petals are long and wave and taper near the tips. The 
huge blooms face sideways on good strong, canelike stems, well above foliage, which is very 
dark and insect resisting. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50 
JANE COWL (Downs). I. D. This variety is still one of the wonder dahlias and deserves 
J a place in every garden. A combination of both beauty and size. Color is a 
glistening bronzy buff and old gold blending to a deeper shade toward the center. A stem of un¬ 
usual strength holds this giant decorative erect over a plant of ideal growth. Foliage thick 
and leathery, insect-resisting. Produces bloom in profusion. Highly recommended.

dahlias for florists’ use, on account of its purity of color, length of 
stem and profusion of bloom. A perfect bloom of Erosine pink, carried high above the foliage 
on a long wiry stem; a perfect true pink, wonderful keeper when cut, therefore good for both ex¬ 
hibition and commercial purposes. Roots, 35c, 3 for 80c
