Dahlias 
No. 1 Tubers 
We have selected 12 leading- varieties from several Shows 
and are offering them at a low price to our trade. 
California Idol. (I. D.) In our estimation this was one of 
the best of the 1935 introductions. It is a splendid grower 
and the giant yellow blooms are held upright on long stiff 
stems. This Dahlia has many Show honors to its credit and 
it will be a popular variety for years to come. Very highly 
recommended. Per tuber, $1.20 each. 
Forest Fire. (I. D.) We found this new variety very satis¬ 
factory in every respect in 1935. It is, as the name indicates, 
a flashy color—lemon-yellow and rich scarlet. A strong- 
grower and profuse bloomer for such a large Dahlia. Stems 
are a trifle short unless carefully disbranched. Per tuber, 60c. 
Golden Standard. (S. C.) A fine new variety of clean out¬ 
standing appearance. Good Cactus form and the blooms, 
while carried at right angles on the stems, always look you 
right in the face. The color is bull shaded to amber and 
gold. Per tuber, $1.00 each. 
Jane Cowl. Cl. D.) A large flower of a warm buff and old 
gold, blending to a bright salmon at the center. The giant 
flowers are held aloft on rigid stems. A superb Dahlia. 
Per tuber, 25c each. 
Jean Trimbee. (I. D.i Color of richest deep petunia-violet, 
of immense size, borne well above the foliage on stiff rigid 
stems. A free bloomer of strong, vigorous habit. Per tuber, 
60c each. 
Jersey’s Beacon. Decorative. Bright scarlet with petals 
twisted to show the reverse of a lighter shade, giving a two- 
toned effect. Large and massive. Per tuber, 30c each. 
Josephine G. (S. C.) A beautiful, true rose-pink flower with 
petals tipped yellow. Very well recommended. Per tuber, 
25c each. 
Monmouth Champion. (I. D.) A large flaming orange of 
wonderful keeping qualities, and one of the prize winners 
for the past three years. The bush is spreading and is 
always in bloom. A great favorite. Per tuber, 40c each. 
Mrs. Geo. Le Boutellier. < I. D. I A rich velvety carmine, 
giant in size and outstanding in all respects. A healthy, 
vigorous grower with 
strong stems and insect- 
resistant foliage. We had 
blooms of this in 1935 that 
were easily 14 inches in 
diameter. Per tuber, $1.25 
Prince of Persia. Cl. D. t - Dahlias 
A very striking exhibition 
Dahlia of rich glowing crimson. T he pe tals are long and pointed, giving the flower great 
depth. Blooms will average ten incfies~with ordinary culture and will continue from early 
till late on long stiff stems. Per tuber, 50c each.
