DAHLIAS 
1938 
JERSEY’S WHITE BEAUTY (I. D.) An excellent cut flower, white, 
similar in form to Jersey’s Beauty. Has fine stems and a good 
keeper when cut. Plants $1.00 
JIM MOORE (I. D.) A Dahlia worthy of a place in any garden. It is 
distinctive in both form and color. The petals are long and regular, 
rolling back at tips. Color primrose yellow, shaded gold and suffused 
salmon. Roots $ .50 
JIMMIE FOXX (I. D.) Another 1937 introduction which did well in 
our garden. The formation is deep and shaggy, different from existing 
varieties. Stems are erect and size of the blooms is very large stand¬ 
ing right on top of the stem. The color is coppery red with a touch of 
henna. If you like big ones don’t miss it. Plants $2.50 
JVDR. K. SVODODA (I. D.) This was a 1937 European introduction 
which we liked very much on account of its beautiful rose coloring. 
Received a certificate of merit at Storrs in 1937 from which we give 
the color description, “Rose color and deep rose color, back rose pink 
with high amparo purple tints.” Quite large with long medium to 
heavy stems. Plants $2.50 
KAY FRANCIS (S. C.) Winner of the Am. Home achievement medal 
at the 1934 A. D. S. exhibition. Somewhat similar to Frau O. Bracht 
but slightly deeper lemon yellow in color and thei blooms are much 
heavier formed. Plants are tall and should be quite well disbudded 
for best results. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
KENTUCKY (F. D.) A sport of Jersey’s Beauty and identical in every 
way except color which is combination of soft salmon, orange and 
gold. Equally good as a cut flower as its parent. Roots $ .50 
KISS ME (S. C.) A very unusual bi-color of about four inches in 
diameter. The base color is garnet red with the petals edged and 
tipped white. An exceedingly free bloomer and a splendid cut flower. 
Should be a winner in the medium size classes. Roots $ .50 
LEMONIA (S. C.) A very large spreading yellow of the Fort Mon¬ 
mouth type. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
LIEDEN’S ORANGE (S. C.) A vivid orange-scarlet. One of the finest 
new ones from Holland where it has received a number of certifi¬ 
cates. Good size and a clean grower. Plants $2.50 
LORD OF AUTUMN (F. D.) This bright yellow giant has become one 
of the most popular varieties wherever Dahlias are grown. The 
blooms are very large and deep and the stems the best. Has a 
grand record as a prize winner. Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
MARILDA (F. D.) This may best be described as a glorified Yankee 
Queen as it has the same soft pink shadings with just a slight mark¬ 
ing of white on the edges and reverse of the petals. The size is about 
8 inches under ordinary conditions. The plants grow about 4 feet in 
height and the blooms are held facing on a fine erect straight stem. 
Flowers last extremely well when cut. Roots $ .50 
MARGRACE (I. D.) One of the most outstanding of the 1936 intro¬ 
ductions and a big winner wherever shown last season. The face of 
the flowers are a brilliant scarlet with the slightly twisted petals 
showing a gold tan reverse. Excellent growing habits and. of 
course, the size is the very largest. Roots $2.50 Plants $1.00 
MARY HELEN (Ball) We were very much pleased with the reception 
given this, our 1931 introduction. We felt that there was a need for 
a good yellow Ball dahlia, and the satisfaction with which this has 
been received has justified this opinion. Mary Helen is the largest 
type of Ball dahlia with very fine erect stems. The color is clear 
glistening yellow. Roots $ .50 
MARY TALLMADGE (I. D.) It is difficult these days to get a variety 
which is distinct or an improvement in color over existing varieties. 
This is decidedly different, being a peculiar old rose shaded mulberry 
pink with a smoky overcast. The growing habits are ideal, long stems, 
strong plants with heavy leaf resisting foliage. It may be grown as 
large as the best of them and the blooms are produced freely. The late 
Derrill Hart grew it in 1935 and gave us enthusiastic reports on it. 
He desired to place it on his Honor Roll but withheld it at our re¬ 
quest as our stock was then limited. 
Roots $5.00 Plants $1.50 
MILTON .T. CROSS (I. D.) The color is apricot peach with a bright 
golden face. The flowers will grow 12 inches in diameter and 8 
inches deep and are held well above the foliage on good stems. 
Roots $5.00 Plants $1.50 
MISS BELGIUM (Cactus) A medium size cactus of a brilliant orange 
shade on long stiff stems. A most useful variety for decorations. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
MISS ELSIE JANE (S. C.) A most artistic formed Dahlia of unique 
shrimp pink color with cream shadings at center and tipped violet 
rose. We recommend it for sheer beauty and floriferousness and long 
wiry stem. Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
MISS OAKLAND (F. D.) An excellent free flowering pure waxy 
white. Long stems and a fine cut flower white. Size medium to large. 
Plants $1.50 
MOLLY SHEPARD (F. D.) There is much demand nowadays for 
dahlias with heavy insect resisting foliage. The plants are about 
four feet high, and the huge broad leaves hang from them much the 
same as a tobacco plant. The flowers are large, and the formation 
is quite regular. Color is a bright cherry red with a slightly 
deeper center. Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (I. D.) A big spreading flower which can 
be grown as large as any of them. The color is a brilliant orange 
scarlet. Stems and other habits good. Roots $ .50 
MRS. BRUCE COLLINS (Cactus) A new cactus of primrose or light 
lemon yellow. Very nicely incurved and has long curly petals. A fine 
free bloomer. Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50
