DAHLIAS 
♦ 
1937 
CALIFORNIA IDOL (I. I).) This giant yellow was easily one of the 
most outstanding Dahlias at the Cincinnati show last season and 
seems to be well adapted to the hot Mid West climate. The size 
is equal to the largest and the stems and habit of growth all are good. 
Roots $5.00 Plants $2.50 
CLARA CARDER (F. D.) This was one of our favorites of last sea¬ 
son’s new ones. The color is new and pleasing, clear cyclamen pink. 
The plants are medium growers and the flowers are held on top of 
a very heavy rigid stem. One of our prize winners at the 1930 New 
York Show. Roots $3.00 Plants $1.50 
CAVALCADE (F. I).) A variety similar in habit of growth and stem to 
.Jersey’s Beauty, but somewhat larger and several shades darker in 
color, or nearly a deep rose. Roots $2.00 Plants $1.00 
CLARA BARTON (I. I).) The large blooms of this variety face up¬ 
ward on long straight stems. The face of the blooms are a silvery 
orchid with a reverse of deep lavender. Bush of medium height and 
are strong growers. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
COL. LEWIS (F. I).) A large easy growing variety which should be 
better known. The color is deep mulberry rose and is quite different 
from existing sorts. Plants $1.50 
DIXIE RAVENSCROFT (I. I).) A large bright, cheerful bloom of 
bright orange and the face with a reverse of lemon and golden yellow. 
The flowers are large and deep, the plants are low and sturdy growing. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
DR. J. H. CARMAN (F. D.) A broad petal giant of deep American 
Beauty rose. A many time prize winner. 
EAGLE ROCK FANTASY (I. I).) This giant variety has carried out 
every claim made for it as it has been a prize winner from coast to 
coast. The color is an unusual shade of orchid or mallow pink. 
Roots $1.00 
EDWARD RINDFLEISCH (F. D.) A clear brilliant red which does not 
burn in the sun. Large, a good bloomer and an exceptionally good 
variety in the red class. Roots $ .75 Plants S .50 
EDNA FERBER (S. C.) A bloom of huge size, being deep and full with 
curled and twisted petals. The color is a combination of brilliant 
coral and old-gold at base of petals. Roots $ .75 Plants S .50 
ELITE GLORY (F. D.) Large brilliant red with the broadest petals of 
any variety known. Fine heavy erect stems. 
Roots $ .50 
ELITE SPORT (F. D.) A sport of Elite Glory which may now and 
then revert to the original but for the most part the flowers are a 
soft buff striped and speckled crimson. Like the original plants are 
heavy growers and the flowers are large. Roots $ .50 
EVA HUNT (F. D.) A tall growing waxy white which we like very 
much. Stems are stiff and hold the blooms high above the foliage. 
Plants $1.00 
FOREST FIRE (I. D.) A spectacular and different bi-color, being 
bright lemon yellow for about half the length of the petals, then 
shaded to rich scarlet towards the tips, enhanced by clear yellow 
petaloids. It is a stocky grower and by slight disbudding very mar¬ 
velous blooms may be produced. Roots S2.50 Plants $1.25 
FORT MONMOUTH (I. D.) This has undoubtedly won more prizes in 
the largest bloom class than any other variety grown. The color is 
rich wine red with an underlying tone of brilliant crimson maroon, 
and a slight bluish violet tone at the tips of petals. The stems are 
long and stiff, flowers do not burn and last well when cut. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
FORT WASHINGTON (I. D.) A fine large flower of deep crimson 
shading to maroon in center. A monster flower which should be in 
every garden. Roots S .50 
FRAU O. BRACHT (S. C.) It would be hard to imagine a more clean- 
cut outstanding bloom than this. A cut flower par excellence, and a 
fine keeper. Color is a clean, clear light primrose yellow. 
Roots SI.00 Plants S .75 
GOLDEN GOBLIN (I. DA Yellow and bronze shaded. Used very ex¬ 
tensively as a seed producer. Roots S .50 
GOLDEN ECLIPSE (F. D.) The originators have most aptly described 
this in calling it a fool proof variety. The clear-cut appearance of 
the flower immediately appeals. It is a clear golden yellow shading 
to a warm salmon or flesh color at center. A vigorous grower to a 
height of 7 feet. Exhibition blooms may be cut with ex'tremely long 
stems. A certificate of merit and a two-time Honor Roll variety. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
GOLDEN STANDARD (Cactus) A fine new variety of clean outstand¬ 
ing appearance. Good Cactus form and the blooms, while carried at 
right angles on the stems, always look you right in the face. The 
color is buff shaded to amber and gold. Roots S2.50 Plants $1.25 
GOLDEN LIGHT (F. I) .) One of our 1935 introductions. The unusual 
markings and colors of this variety always attract attention. The 
ground color is canary yellow edged and more or less marked and 
snlashed carmine. All habits are good, long erect stem and a fine 
clean grower. Size about 8 inches under ordinary conditions. 
Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
GRACE CURLING (T. D.) A glorious decorative of great size and im¬ 
posing in both form and color. It is orchid lavender shading to white 
at base with something of a silvery overcast. An imported variety 
which will be grown here for a long time. 
Roots $ .50 
GRANDEE (I. I).) An extremely large bloom but it must be carefully 
handled to bring it out of the foliage. The color is a peculiar com¬ 
bination of mahogany, bronze and yellow. 
Roots $5.00 Plants $2.50
