best keeper I ever grew. After September 1st 
blooms will keep a week, cut, and up to three 
weeks on the plant. First blooms face up, 
and the stems are leafless for 18 to 24 inches 
and as large, at the neck, as a medium size 
fountain pen. Later blooms face at a slight 
angle but always rigidly erect. Strong divis¬ 
ions $15; Plants $3. 
*LORD OF AUTUMN. I. D. for 1937. This 
Dahlia is still the peer of any yellow Dahlia 
so far produced and its winnings of Class and 
Sweepstake prizes are not equaled by any 
Dahlia of any color. In addition to hundreds 
of Largest and Best Bloom prizes it last year 
received a special Certificate of Honor from 
Georgia Experiment Station. It has been 
grown 15 in. in Canada, I5j4 in. in Massachu¬ 
setts ; 14 in. x 7 in. in Kentucky; 14 in. x 8 in. 
New Jersey; 14 in. x 9 in. at Peekskill, etc., 
etc. Our stock is as strong as ever, has never 
been overpropagated, and we harvested hun¬ 
dreds of great clumps again last Fall, full of 
vigor and vitality. Our prices are very low 
for quality of the stock- Strong divisions 
$2.50, 3 for $5. Plants $1.25, 3 for $3. 
ROSE OF HEAVEN. I. D. I was induced to 
so name this dahlia by the repeated expres¬ 
sions of visitors — “Oh what a heavenly 
color.” It is a pure rose in color, different in 
shade from any dahlia out, and hasn’t a par¬ 
ticle of lavender. This is a plant of extreme 
vigor and keeps green and soft all season and 
is a prolific bloomer of extra size flowers, that 
keep well as cut flowers (as do all of my in¬ 
troductions). Stems are long and stiff and 
carry flowers at a proper angle, many facing 
up. The color is superb but will fade slightly 
in extremely hot weather, unless protected 
from the sun, as do most dahlias of this color. 
Recommended at Georgia Experiment Sta¬ 
tion. Div. $5; Plants $2. 
“SALLY B”. I. D. The most beautiful pink 
dahlia it has been my pleasure to grow, or 
see, and there are many grand pinks. A seed¬ 
ling of Kathleen Norris, it has the same long, 
black, rigid stem, but is even larger in diam¬ 
eter, though perhaps not quite as deep. 
Slightly lighter in color, it is a lovely shell 
pink throughout which does not fade or burn. 
It is a very prolific producer of giant blooms,
