MISS OAKLAND—Another introduction from Oakleigh-Lakeside Gardens. We 
have grown this dahlia at our Gardens this past season and we find Miss 
Oakland to be an outstanding dahlia in every respect. Miss Oakland re¬ 
ceived Certificate of Merit at East Lansing in 1935, Certificate of Merit at 
Storr’s in 1936, Word of Honor from the Georgia Experimental Station in 
1936, and was very much admired at the New York Botanical Garden. Miss 
Oakland is also on Mr. Barron’s Honor Roll in the FLOWER GROWER 
Magazine. Mr. Johnston’s review in HOUSE BEAUTIFUL, and Mr. 
Eldredge’s review in the MID-WEST Dahlia News. This dahlia deserves a 
trial for anyone who loves beauty. Roots $10.00 Net Plants $5.00 Net 
GOLDEN BEAUTY I. D. (Silvernale-Oakleigh)—We are using the description 
given by Mr. I. W. Johnston in the “House Beautiful” Magazine. We believe 
this description fits to a “T” to this marvelous dahlia. Is an informal decora¬ 
tive, just naturally big. Blooms from twelve to fourteen inches off the same 
plant. Seven feet tall and with facing flowers of a lovely rich golden 
shade. One of the finest centers I have ever seen on a dahlia, which 
means it will stand lots of pushing. Incidentally, a seedling of Jane Cowl- 
Bing Crosby. With all its size, a truly beautiful dahlia that will make 
all the giant informal decorative step. A certificate winner, and on three 
Honor Rolls. A real dahlia. Plants only $7.50
