wiry stem. Roots $2.00 Plants si.oo 
MOLLY SHEPARI) (F. I).) There is much demand nowadays for 
dahlias with heavy insect resisting foliage. This 1932 introduction of 
ours has about the largest and toughest foliage of any variety we 
ever saw. The plants are about four feet high, and the huge broad 
leaves hang from them much the same as a tobacco plant. The 
flowers are large, and the formation is quite regular. Color is a 
bright cherry red with a slightly deeper center.

scarlet. Stems and other habits good. Roots S .50 
MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL (I. D.) This old rose beauty is one of the 
finest of the many good ones from the West. It is a big one, and 
the stems are good. The clear old rose color makes it most distinct.

ever grown. It is a massive flower of the Cowl tvpe with firm heavy

NANCY DUNNE 
NANCY DUNNE (I. I).) Our 1936 introduction on which we have re¬ 
ceived much favorable comment. It is similar in color to the old 
Californian, Papillon. having many of the good features of this 
variety, and none of its faults. It is a tall strong grower with 
three feet stems and should be topped for best results. It is a grand 
cut or show flower and the blooms last well when cut. The color 
is a bit difficult to describe, being a combination of salmon, tan 
and gold, with just a slight magenta reverse, although this is not 
all noticeable. On three Honor Rolls in 1936.
