Mad River Gardens Introductions for 1937 
DEAN ANDERSON (Mad River Gardens) I. D. Gratifying indeed are the many 
glowing reports we have on this great Dahlia. A true exhibition type, of a rare, new 
color,—radiant henna orange. Extra long, strong stems, holding the very large flowers 
in an ideal position. Bushes about four and a half feet when grown in the full sun. 
Most luxuriant insect-free foliage. Included with the four aces of all Dahlia time. 
Nothing can beat it in its color, and again winner as best flower in the show. 
Strong Plants $5.00 
AGNES MICHAEL (Whitaker-Mad River Gardens) F. D. For cut flowers with 
nice, long stems and good keeping qualities, this one is sure to please. A Certificate 
of Merit at Storrs in 1934. Color, pale rosaline purple, petals edged with white and 
splashed with rosaline purple; flowers facing side. 
Roots $3.00 Strong Plants $1.50 
KENTUCKY SPORTSMAN (White) I. D. Surely one of the most spectacular 
Dahlias we have ever seen; a lovely growing plant with perfect long stems, holding 
the very large flowers in just the right position. A tri color, center lemon yellow, 
outer sixty per cent of petals a rich golden amber, with an old rose reverse. Every 
petal evenly and distinctly tipped white. A free and early bloomer, with great sub¬ 
stance; this one will be on the “must” list for a long time. EXTRA. Stock limited. 
Strong Plants $7.50 
TILLIE NEISH (Garrity-Mad River 
Gardens) I. D. Here we have a huge, 
intense yellow, to compete with the 
very largest. It has to its credit a 
Certificate of Merit at Storrs, and 
the best and largest Dahlia in the 
Show. Fine growing habits, with the 
best of stems. We think this is Mr. 
Garrity’s masterpiece.

EDWIN LESLIE HOWARD (Fru- 
echtenicht-Mad River Gardens) Min¬ 
iature Cactus. No doubt one of the 
most beautiful of this type; a very 
vigorous growing plant, with fine 
foliage and an abundance of flow¬ 
ers. Color, lemon yellow at base of 
petals, shading to a beautiful pink. 
Surely this one is out to win, having 
already won first prize as a seedling 
in very strong competition, with a 
gold ribbon added, for its achieve¬ 
ment. Strong Plants $1.50
