You are cordially invited to visit our gardens and 
view the plants in full bloom. It is the ideal method of 
selecting* your favorites for your own garden. Gladiolus 
are at their best from July 15th on. Dahlias from Septem¬ 
ber till frost. We are located on the south side of the 
River Road from Mays Landing to Somers Point, at 
Scullville, Atlantic County, N. J., about eleven miles from 
Mays Landing and three miles from Somers Point. We 
are fourteen miles from Atlantic City and six miles from 
Ocean City, N. J. In coming from Atlantic City or Ocean 
City to our gardens - drive to Somers Point, around the 
traffic circle at the Ocean City Bridge, and take the road 
leading direct away from the bridge toward Mays Landing. 
Straight ahead about three miles. Our gardens, retail 
stand and an Esso Gas Station will be on your left. 
Comments Dahlias as they 
grow here. 
The new Prudence Penny sold well for us, alone or 
in bunches mixed with Miss Elsie Jane, Dad Smith, Orchid 
Lady or Mirth. 
We did not grow the already famous whites, but saw 
both growing at the introducers gardens. They were of 
pleasing formation, good bush growth and kept well. 
Mother Maytrott won as best bloom in the show and 
also the Achievement Medal at the Washington, D. C. 
Show, 1936. A Certificate of Merit was awarded this 
dahlia at the A. D. S. trial grounds at Storrs, Conn. 
American Purity won four times as best semi-cactus. 
An achievement Medal, in competition with both American 
and foreign dahlias, at the 1936 Chicago International 
Horticultural Exposition. At Baltimore it was the largest 
and most perfect bloom in the show. A mighty good 
record for any dahlia. It is the largest white semi-cactus 
and probably the largest white dahlia ever grown. 
The pleasing color of Bobbe Deane makes it in great¬ 
er demand than Jersey’s Beauty, with either our retail 
or our florist trade. 
We sell more blooms of Charmer than any other large 
dahlia. 
Anna Benedict, while not the largest, is our most 
dependable and best selling dark red. 
We have received an increasing number of inquiries 
for Arelda Lloyd. The ability of this dahlia to come up 
from the roots, after having been cut down, should alone 
commend it to the dahlia fans. A root sport of Jane Cowl. 
The flower and foliage both changed color, the foliage 
being lighter in color than that of the parent plant. 
Many visitors tell us that no dahlia of the deep violet 
rose shades can even remotely compare with the chaste 
beauty of the semi-cactus Bette Davis. 
Dad Smith showed us how it could really produce 
numerous blooms last year. Makes good roots that keep 
well and most of them have eyes. 
Golden Goblin, a good golden yellow formal decorative. 
Golden Monarch. That golden yellow lightly suffused 
orange buff is truly a giant on a dwarf to medium size 
plant. 
Graf Zeppelin. How this medium size pure white does 
keep.
