Prize Decorative Dahlias

The enchanting new Dahlia, El Encanto 
BALLEGO'S GLORY. A new Dahlia that is al¬ 
ways a center of attention wherever displayed. 
It has a striking color combination, rich mahog¬ 
any with gold edges. The petals are broad and 
gracefully turned forming flowers of great beauty 
that make handsome and artistic floral arrange¬ 
ments. Since tubers are very scarce, we offer 
green plants only at 75c. 
SONIA. Won six blue ribbons in t 936, 
and well deservedly, for we consider Sonia 
to be the finest Dahlia, considering all 
points, available today. It comes as near 
to being perfect as any Dahlia grown. The 
gorgeous wine-red blooms are carried on 
straight upright stems and last exception¬ 
ally well when cut. $2.00. 
EL ENCANTO 
El Encanto is a lovely flower of pure gold, so rich in 
coloring that the word enchantment is indeed a fitting 
description. We know of no Dahlia which can be used in 
so many delightful ways. The perfect flowers are of a 
most pleasing size and shape, the stems are unusually 
long and straight, never clumsy, and the keeping quali¬ 
ties are unexcelled. Unquestionably one of the finest 
Dahias ever produced, in any class. $1.00. 
BARBARA STANWICK. A prize winner where- 
ever shown, winning three blue ribbons the first 
season. The flowers are perfect in form, and 
very large, most pleasing in color, being a bril¬ 
liant Tyrian rose. $1.50. 
BLANQUITA. A fine new pure white Dahlia 
of perfect form. It is a prolific bloomer, has 
good stems and makes a wonderful cut-flower. 
75e. 
MAJOR EDWARD BOWES. (McDonald's Dahlia 
Farms, 1936). A charming shell pink Dahlia 
which fills a long felt need for a good decorative 
type of this color. It is equally good on the 
exhibition table or as a cut flower for the home. 
It won six blue ribbons in 1936 Dahlia shows. 
$1.50. 
CANARY CUP. The best pure yellow decora¬ 
tive yet produced. 35c. 
EUREKA. A fine large decorative that has 
good form, substance and keeping qualities. A 
faint touch of lavender on the center petals 
heightens the purity of the blossom. 50c. 
FEDERATION QUEEN. An exceptionally prolific 
and showy variety, which may be depended upon 
to produce unusually large, perfect blooms, early 
and late. The lovely rosy-lavender color is most 
pleasing and the flowers always have long, grace¬ 
ful stems. 75e. 
FLAMING METEOR. Large bright orange-scar¬ 
let shaded buff flowers on long straight stems, 
50c. 
FUEGO. A very large orange flame, in form 
and habit much like Flaming Meteor, but far 
richer color. A spectacular flower. 50c. 
GOLDEN LOTUS. A reliable large golden yel¬ 
low. 35c. 
JAE MAE LANE. We consider this the finest 
pure white large Dahlia yet produced. Perfectly 
formed, purest white, free blooming, and the 
blossoms are large, on excellent stems for cut¬ 
ting. $1.50. 
JANE COWL. One of the finest of all dahlias. 
Deep, massive blooms of bronze and old gold. 
50c.

dahlia. 35c.

tips. Large and well formed. 75c.

Beauty red. A sensationally colored very large 
flower, a good bloomer and keeper. $1.00. 
MRS. I. DE VER WARNER. Large flowers of. 
glowing mauve-pink. 35c. 
NIRA. A strong growing bush holding its 
large deep blooms proudly, well above the foliage 
on strong yet graceful sfems. A lovely tone of 
rose with just enough of the gold base color 
showing through to give it a soft, rich pastel 
effect. This informal decorative has substance 
and prolificy rare in a flower of its size. $1.00. 
NOPAL. The very large flowers—rich glowing 
deep red—are carried on perfect stems. We con¬ 
sider it the best of the dark red dahlias. 50c. 
ORANGE GLORY. Outstanding wherever dis¬ 
played, this beautiful dahlia is the most brillant, 
true orange of all, with fine long stems. A 
wonderful keeper and prolific bloomer. $1.00.
