SATAN —S.C. Flaming red with a slight 
touch of gold at the center. The 
very fine picture shown herewith 
was sent us by our customer in 
Japan. This 14-inch bloom won as 
the largest and best bloom in the 
show at Sapporo, Hokkaido, Japan. 
In previous catalogues we have 
listed a number of prizes won as 
Best or Largest in many of the lead¬ 
ing shows, including an Achieve¬ 
ment Medal. We told of its record 
at Storrs Trial Gardens and its 
place on the Roll of Honor, and of 
similar honors won at the World's 
Fair, at New York, San Francisco, 
and other shows too numerous to 
mention. Satan has headed many 
popularity contests, su:h as the one 
conducted yearly at the Bronx Park 
Botanical Gardens, New York City, 
the “Garden Quarterly” on the Pa¬ 
cific Coast, and the one published 
last year in the Flower Grower. 
Doubtless it is the most popular 
dahlia in the world today. Certainly 
no dahlia is more sensational or 
spectacular than this giant cactus. 
A reliable New York grower reports 
he grew Satan 16 inches.$1.50 
SATAN 
ROMEO —I. D. Brightest scarlet, a color as appealing as the red, red rose. The form of the flower 
also is particularly attractive and adds much to its beauty. In spite of the common opinion 
that red dahlias predominate, the fact is that really first class reds, in comparison with a 
number of other colors, are quite scarce. This red is of good size and very satisfactory and a 
red that is different. Certificate at Georgia Trial Gardens.$5.00 
STRONGHEART —F. D. Amber-gold. Another dahlia with no imperfections. This has always been 
one of our favorites and is truly a gem of a dahlia. Its size is of generous proportions, com¬ 
bined with great beauty of form and color, and it has a long perfect stem. While coming nearer 
to the formal type of decorative than any other classification, it is not decidedly formal, as the 
petals are longer and rather inclined to curve more than is usual with this type, especially in 
the late season. Mr. Hart deemed it worthy of a place on his 1932 Roll of Honor and it also 
won a Certificate of Merit at Storrs; also a Certificate in Holland. This variety has proven to 
be a very handsome and useful cut flower as well as an exhibition bloom. No other dahlia has 
exactly the same color. One of the leading catalogues in the country describes it as being one 
of the most admired dahlias in the garden and one of the best sellers.$1.00
