Roots $ .50 
NEW DEAL (I. D.) The colors of this new Californian, which we are 
proud to have a part in introducing, are so striking and different 
from all existing varieties that it is extremely difficult to describe. 
Varying shades of glistening orange is perhaps as near as we can 
describe it on paper. The half-tone gives an idea of the formation of 
the flowers which are informal decorative with many recurved petals, 
at times giving something of a pin wheel effect, and making not only 
a bloom of unusual coloring but pleasing formation as well. Plants 
are sturdy, rugged growers with stems which always hold the blooms 
directly facing. Needless to say the size is large.

OLYMPIC SUNSET (S. C.) An outstanding Honor Roll variety of 
1935. Color is apricot orange and coral with a blending of lemon 
yellow. Fine high centers of perfect Semi-Cactus form. 
Plants $1.50 
OMAR KHAYYAM (F. D.) Th is big red has much the appearance of 
Jersey’s Beacon, but the plants are much better growers, and the 
plants have fine long stems. The color is Chinese red shading to 
orange, being somewhat lighter at tips. Roots $ .50 
ORIENTAL BEAUTY (S. C.) Soft glowing pink of good size and erect 
stems. A splendid cactus and a beauty in every respect. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
ORIENTAL GLORY (I. I).) An orange beauty which comes to us from 
the Mid-West. The glowing orange blooms are most attractive and 
we really know of nothing just like it. Stems are long with blooms 
nicely placed, foliage is healthy and clean. Another certificate of 
merit and Honor Roll variety. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
PAUL PFITZER (S. C.) A companion variety to Frau Bracht. Much 
the same in formation and stem, but in color a soft sulphur, blended 
lilac rose. Has a fine erect stem and an all around good grower. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
PERGUNTY (F. I>.) This is one of the brightest and cleanest reds we 
have ever grown. It is a medium size variety, a very free bloomer, 
and an excellent cut flower sort as it keeps well when cut. Roots $ .50 
PEPPERMINT CANDY (S. C.) Cream striped and splashed carmine. 
We introduced this dahlia in 1924 and it still continues to be one of 
our largest sellers in spite of the fact that the stems are not strong 
enough to properly support the blooms. Nothing exactly like it.

PINK DAILY MAIL (I. D.) Described by its introducers as a cyclamen 
pink sport of Daily Mail. However, with us the color was more mauve 
than pink. It has the same size and habits of the original. Awarded 
a certificate of merit at the A. D. S. Trial Gardens at Storrs in 
1935. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
PINK SPIRAL (Cactus) Peach-blossom pink with a touch of primrose at 
the base and center of the flowers. Petals are long and twisted in¬ 
curving so as to meet in the center. Roots S2.50 Plants $1.25

ing good. The flowers are very large, frequently a foot in diameter, 
of the most rich glistening crimson imaginable. The bushes are tall 
with a tough healthy foliage. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
ROCKLEY MOON (F. D.) A 1935 introduction of exceptional merit 
and a certificate winner at the two official A. D. S. trial gardens.

erect stems. Flowers are large and the plants are tall, vigorous 
growers. Roots SI.00 Plants $ .50 
ROSE FALLON (F. D.) We have a fine strain of stock of this big 
deep reddish orange beauty. Two foot stems and huge flowers. 
Nothing better in the cheaper sorts. Roots $ .50 
RUDY VALLEE (S. C.) A big spreading bloom ; a brilliant orange 
and gold. Roots SI.00 Plants S .50 
SATAN (I. D.) A no more appropriate name could have been selected 
for this red giant. The flaring red flowers have a sort of stag horn 
petal which is faintly tipped old gold. The stems are long, very 
erect and clean. Roots SI.00 Plants $ .50 
SHAHRAZAD (I. D.) In California this is known as a pink Jane Cowl. 
This may not be an accurate description but at any rate it is a huge 
deep pink of good substance and depth. A worthwhile addition to 
any collection. Roots $ .75 Plants S .50 
SILVA QUARTA (Ball) A fine lavender ball variety made up of in¬ 
numerable tightly quilled petals. Roots S .35 
SUPT. AMRHYN (Ball) This clear pink invariably wins when shown 
in the Ball classes on the exhibition table. It is of good size and holds 
up well. Roots S .50

attract attention. Color is pure white, stems are erect and plants

rich finish. The size is large and the petals are of a stag horn 
formation. Has every desirable habit including a rich green foliage. 
Nothing exactly like it in style or color. Roots $ .50 
TOWER’S EMPIRE. This is a new one which bids fair to become a 
real acquisition. The color is gold with deep amber in the center. It 
compares favorably to Jane Cowl in style and habit of growth. Size is 
very large with flowers of great depth and wonderful keeping 
quality. Roots S2.00 Plants SI.00
