CADET (Ballay, 1934), S. C. 
One of Ballay’s California originations somewhat like 
the popular Satan in formation but in color a light 
primrose yellow, almost cream. A long petaled, grace¬ 
ful flower, long stems on a tall bush. It made good in 
1934.

CAVALCADE (Groll-Dahliadel, 1935), F. D. 
Bush 5% ft. A fine variety that should have a real 
future. In form, this Dahlia resembles Jersey’s Beauty 
and its stems are almost identical. It is, however, 
larger in diameter and two or three shades darker. 
Cavalcade is a rich deep rose with tones of rosy 
magenta.

CALIFORNIA IDOL (Ballay, 1935), I. D. 
Another giant yellow with a coast-to-coast show rec¬ 
ord. Has been called the “yellow Murphy’s Master¬ 
piece’’, and, brother, if it is to the yellow class what 
Murphy’s was to the red, won’t that be sumpin’ ? Color 
true, clear glistening yellow, a true pastel shade, and 
held on the best of stems.

CALIFORNIA ROSE (Ballay, 1935), I. D. 
Clear bright salmon rose. Exquisite coloring, large, tall- 
growing, describes in a few words the salient features 
of this unusually satisfactory new Dahlia. Included in 
Mr. Hart’s annual Roll of Honor. It was one of the 
best keepers on trial this year. Flower large, but ex¬ 
tremely graceful, and held on long, stiff stems.

CHAMPOEG (Crites, 1932), I. D. 
Most beautiful of the recent introductions. The ground , 
color of the petals being a lemon yellow with a suffu¬ 
sion of deep rose pink, as though an artist had deli¬ 
cately brushed each petal. Free flowering early, and 
has stiff stems. (H. R.)

CHARMER (Lloyd’s Dahlia Gardens, 1936), I. D. 
Ten to twelve inches by five inches deep; five to six 
feet tall. Zinc orange around center, then petals of 
apricot yellow, blending to maize yellow. The entire 
flower is overlaid with a lovely sheen of apricot yellow 
that glistens and reflects in the sunlight. NaturaTy 
large blooms are held facing on long stiff but not too 
heavy or too light stems. The numerous long curled 
petals twist in a most enhancing manner and when 
fully open on the bush the back petals nearly touch 
tli6 stem. 
Plants $1.60, Roots $4.00 
CHARLIE CHAPLIN (Petria Chappaqua), 1935 
A very large flower of deep gold shading to a bronze 
center. Will give any of the large ones a run for their 
money. Exceptionally strong grower and prolific 
bloomer with very long, straight stems and tough, 
insect-resistant foliage. Certificate of Merit at Storrs, 
1934. Dahlia Roll of Honor, 1934.

CHAUTAUQUA REGAL, F. D. 
The color is an unusually rich and brilliant cardinal 
red with the reverse of petals shaded ivory. Small 
petaloids showing toward center of flower also shaded 
ivory. The bloom is truly magnificent, of the largest 
size on cane stiff stems and facing the sky. Also par¬ 
ticularly long lasting when cut. 
Plants 60c, Roots $1.25 
CHAUTAUQUA SUNSET (Wallace, 1933), I. D. 
One of the finest Dahlias ever originated. The flowers 
are of mammoth size, facing the sky on long cane¬ 
like stems. A magnificent combination of sunset colors 
— gold, orange and peach-red. The bush is exceed¬ 
ingly robust and compact. It was, by far, the show¬ 
iest and most compelling Dahlia in our Gardens this 
past year.
