PALO ALTO (Ballay, 1933), S. C. 
One of the sensations of 1933. Salmon in two tones 
and bright pinkish salmon throughout the flower, but 
shading quite perceptibly to a sort of salmon gold at 
the center. It is a perfect Dahlia and grows 10 to 12 
inches by 6 inches deep; good bloomer and held high 
on long stiff stems. One of the highest scoring Dahlias 
on the H. R.

PASTEL GLOW (Artland-Ruschmohr), I. D. 
A magnificent Dahlia that is a garden in itself, and one 
of the most attractive Dahlias I know of. The flowers 
are massive in size, and of great depth, color a pure 
pastel pink, the petals are exceptionally long and very 
broad, and seem to be of a wax-like texture, a color 
that fairly dazzles in the sunlight or under artificial 
light. They are held at a forty-five degree angle, on 
strong stems, with heavy, light green foliage, and 
borne in great profusion. They are so abundant that at 
times the foliage is completely hidden with the blooms; 
the bush is a strong, robust grower, averaging about 
four feet, one that should be in every garden.

PRES. FRANKLIN D. ROOSEVELT (Andrews), F. D. 
A massive deep flower that is very striking in the 
garden. Color bright carmine red, reverse of petal is 
cream. The flowers are held facing sideways on strong 
cane-like stems, high and above the large heavy insect- 
resistant foliage. A very strong, rugged grower and a 
free and prolific bloomer. 
Roots $1.00 
PRIDE OF AMERICA (American D. F. 85E), S. C. 
Bloom 9x6, bush 5 ft. A true Semi-Cactus of fine, 
even form on strong, erect, yet not clumsy, stems. 
Color, clear primrose yellow with a tinge of pink on 
reverse of petals. I believe this variety is going to 
make its mark in the show room, especially in the 
Semi-Cactus classes, as it is well proportioned and bal¬ 
anced in form, size and stem. Blooms open back almost 
to the stem. Foliage medium dark, which makes the 
flower outstanding. 
Plants $4.00 
PRIDE OF WISCONSIN
