Let the gorgeous dahlia blooms be the Good Will Ambassador to your loved 
ones. 
SONNY BOY I. D. (Nunneviller)—This giant dahlia is of old rose, slightly 
striped and tinged old gold, and attains great size in the open field, and 
we can highly recommend it as a very hardy variety. The huge blooms, 
which are also of great depth, are held facing sideways on long sturdy 
stems. Height, about 4 feet. ‘ Roots $1.5*0 
SALEM STREAMLINE—Informal decorative that has about everything a good 
dahlia should have—substance, size, stem, color—old rose suffused with 
carmine rose; unusually high center and petals fold almost back to the 
stem. A genuine streamlined dahlia. Shown once at Chicago, winning 
first. Roots $7.50 Plants $3.75 
SPOTLIGHT (Hulin)—A new Informal Decorative of a most delightful color. 
Sulphur yellow shading, lighter at the tips and nearly white reverse. 
Petals curl in a most pleasing and fascinating manner. Winner of 
American Home Achievement Medal at Seattle in a strong class, also at 
the show of the Washington State Dahlia Society of Tacoma. It won first 
and sweepstakes. Height, 4 feet. Roots $2.00 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (S. C.)—Flowers are pure white with fine pointed 
petals, with a large, high tight center. The blooms are large and of good 
depth, but needs heavy disbudding and pruning for exhibition blooms, as 
it is a very free and prolific bloomer. The bush is always covered with 
blooms which have the shape and appearance of huge stars. Height, 
4 Mi feet. Roots 75c 
SULTAN OF HILLCREST F. D. (Scott)—A large flower of unique form, 
color, lemon yellow, with reverse of rosy pink, the outer petals recurving 
towards the stems, giving the flower an unusual color effect. The huge 
flowers are held on good, strong stems, well above the heavy, dark green 
foliage. The bush is a strong, vigorous grower and the blooms are borne 
in great profusion. Height, 4 Mi feet. Roots $1.50 
THE COMMODORE (I. D.)—A nice clean growing, bright lemon yellow. Won 
American Home Achievement Medal and A. D. S. Certificate. Petals large, 
centers full with flowers of loose and open formation. Good stem, and a 
very large size flower. Roots 35c 
THE FIREMAN I. D. (Success)—A striking cardinal red, with golden flushes 
and golden tips. The petals are long and wavy, and twist gracefully near 
the tips. The flowers are large and are held facing sideways on long, stiff, 
sturdy stems, well above the dark green foliage. It is not only an early 
bloomer, but a very prolific bloomer as well; plant a strong thrifty grower. 
Height, about 6 feet. Roofs $1.50 
THE OLYMPIAN—This dahlia can easily be grown to 12 inches across and 
G to 7 inches in depth. Bright orange red in color. Extra long clean stems 
that can be cut 4 feet long. Very free bloomer. Tall plants. Late blooms 
show a pollen center, but those are fine for cutting as it is a good keeper 
in water. We grew blooms in field culture last season that were 14 inches 
across and as perfect as it is possible for a dahlia to be, and that is saying 
a jot. Roots $3.00 Plants $1.50 
THE OREGONIAN (I. D.)—The dahlia with a golden sheen. One of the really 
big ones_it’s easy to grow blooms 11 to 12 inches across, upright on 
stems as stiff as a rod. One of those big bronzy dahlias deeper in color 
than most of them. Color is rich golden bronze with rose reverse and we 
have never had an imperfect bloom. A fine keeper when cut and last well 
on the plant. The blooms are almost as great in depth as in diameter. An 
informal decorative that is hard to beat. Roots $3.00 Plants $1.50
