1938 
ALLING’S 
ALICE STELLICK (F. D.) We believe this to be one of the best of the 
many bi-colored varieties. Color is rich scarlet and pure glistening 
white, each color being most sharply divided. A luxuriant grower 
on long stems. Plants $ .50 
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART (I. D.) A grand pure yellow of great 
depth held nearly on top of a fine stiff stem. Has recorded many 
wins in the largest blooms classes. Plants $1.00 
AMELIA EARHART (S. C.) A 1933 Honor Roll winner which has 
proved its worth. Coral in color and a producer of many 12 inch 
blooms. One of the real outstanding new varieties. 
Roots $2.00 Plants $1.00 
ANNABELLE (F. D.) A very desirable florist cut flower. The color for 
the most part is pure waxy-white with just a slight overcast of 
silvery-pink. Flowers have great substance and keep extremely well 
when cut. Size from 5 to 7 inches under ordinary culture. 
Roots $ .50 
ANNA BENEDICT (I. D.) A most satisfactory dark red. The color is 
deep garnet with nearly black shadings at the center. A flower of 
very strong substance and a red which stands the weather exceedingly 
well when cut. The high scoring variety at the 1934 trial gardens at 
Storrs. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
ARELDA LLOYD (I. D.) A sport of Jane Cowl having the same habit 
of growth in every way but of a clear golden yellow color throughout. 
The highest scoring, and easily the most outstanding variety, in the 
1933 Storrs trial gardens. If you like Cowl you will like this one. 
Roots $2.00 Plants $1.00 
BLUE JERSEY (F. D.) One of the several sports from Jersey’s Beauty. 
Habit of growth is the same but the color is lavender with a sugges¬ 
tion of blue sheen. A splendid cut flower and keeper. Roots $ .50 
BONNIE BELMONT (S. C.) A 1936 introduction which very much 
appealed to us as it grew in our garden last season. The color is 
clear glistening yellow; size 8 to 10 inches. Has fine stems and 
blooms very freely. Roots $2.50 Plants $1.00 
BUCKEYE KING (F. D.) Gold with slight apricot suffusions and 
shading deeper toward center. A variety which produces many large 
clean appearing flowers of exceptional keeping quality. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
CALIFORNIA IDOL (I. D.) This giant yellow was easily one of the 
most outstanding Dahlias at the Cincinnati show last season and 
seems to be well adapted to the hot Mid West climate. The size 
is equal to the largest and the stems and habit of growth all are good. 
Roots $2.50 Plants $1.00 
CLARA CARDER (F. D.) This was one of our favorites of last sea¬ 
son’s new ones. The color is new and pleasing, clear cyclamen pink. 
The plants are medium growers and the flowers are held on top of 
a very heavy rigid stem. One of our prize winners at the 1936 New 
York Show. Roots $2.00 Plants $ .75 
CAVALCADE (F. D.) A variety similar in habit of growth and stem to 
Jersey’s Beauty, but somewhat larger and several shades darker in 
color, or nearly a deep rose. Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
CLARA BARTON (I. D.) The large blooms of this variety face up¬ 
ward on long straight stems. The face of the blooms are a silvery 
orchid with a reverse of deep lavender. Bush of medium height and 
are strong growers. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
COL. LEWIS (F. D.) A large easy growing variety which should be 
better known. The color is deep mulberry rose and is quite different 
from existing sorts. Plants $ .75 
DIXIE RAVENSCROFT (I. D.) A large, bright, cheerful bloom of 
bright orange and the face with a reverse of lemon and golden yellow.

Beauty rose. A many time prize winner. Roots $ .50

burn in the sun. Large, a good bloomer and an exceptionally good 
variety in the red class. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
ELITE GLORY (F. D.) Large brilliant red with the broadest petals of 
any variety known. Fine heavy erect stems. Roots $ .50 
ELITE SPORT (F. D.) A sport of Elite Glory which may now and 
then revert to the original but for the most part the flowers are a 
soft buff striped and speckled crimson. Like the original plants are 
heavy growers and the flowers are large. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
FIRE BALL (F. D.) We like this 1938 introduction on account of its 
brilliant fiery red color. The type is somewhat inclined to the Ball. 
It fits very nicely into the medium size classes as it grows from 5 to 7 
inches in diameter. Foliage clean and dark; growth strong. 
Plants $1.50 
FOREST FIRE (I. D.) A spectacular and different bi-color, being 
bright lemon yellow for about half the length of the petals, then 
shaded to rich scarlet towards the tips, enhanced bv clear yellow 
petaloids. It is a stocky grower and by slight disbudding very mar¬ 
velous blooms may be produced. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
FORT MONMOUTH (I. D.) This has undoubtedly won more prizes in 
the largest bloom class than any other variety grown. The color is 
rich wine red with an underlying tone of brilliant crimson maroon, 
and a slight bluish violet tone at the tips of petals. The stems ai’e 
long and stiff, flowers do not burn and last well when cut. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
FORT WASHINGTON (I. D.) A fine large flower of deep crimson 
shading to maroon in center. A monster flower which should be in 
every garden. Roots $ .50
