Note the wide variety of types shown. Pink Pearl, Tiny and Baby Royal in front bowl, 
Prince de Bulgaria the striped single at right and Jessie the large single at left foreground. 
MRS. C. D. ANDERSON (Ball) Large, rosy magenta of good size and 
a strong grower. Roots $ .50 
MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER (I. D.) A new carmine red which 
rivals Murphy’s Masterpiece in many ways. It is flatter in formation 
and the blooms are more regularly formed. The blooms may be 
grown to very large size and are produced on sturdy plants. 
Roots SI.50 Plants $ .75 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (I. D.) This immense red is a prize win¬ 
ner whenever shown. It can be grown larger than any other existing 
variety and with no particular forcing. Color rich red. 
Roots $2.00 Plants $1.00 
MYRA HOWARD (I. D.) A 1932 introduction which made good wher¬ 
ever grown. It is a massive flower of the Cowl type with firm heavy 
stems. The color is a combination of saffron yellow, gold and tints of 
salmon, the entire effect being an ochrous orange. 
Roots $ .50 
NANCY DUNNE (I. D.) Our 1936 introduction on which we have re¬ 
ceived much favorable comment. It is similar in color to the old 
California, Papillon, having many of the good features of this 
variety, and none of its faults. It is a tall strong grower with 
three feet stems and should be topped for best results. It is a grand 
cut or show flower and the blooms last well when cut. The color 
is a bit difficult to describe, being a combination of salmon, tan 
and gold, with just a slight magenta reverse, although this is not 
all noticeable. On three Honor Rolls in 1936. 
Roots $2.50 Plants $1.00 
NATHAN HALE (F. D.) A beautiful Autumn bronze shade of medium 
size and resistant to insects. A most popular cut flower variety. 
Roots $ .50 
NEW DEAL (I. D.) The colors of this new Californian, which we are 
proud to have a part in introducing, are so striking and different 
from all existing varieties that it is extremely difficult to describe. 
Varying shades of glistening orange is perhaps as near as we can 
describe it on paper. The half-tone gives an idea of the formation of 
the flowers which are informal decorative with many recurved petals, 
at times giving something of a pin wheel effect, and making not only 
a bloom of unusual coloring but pleasing formation as well. Plants 
are sturdy, rugged growers with stems which always hold the blooms 
directly facing. Needless to say the size is large. 
Roots $1.00 
OLYMPIC SUNSET (S. C.) An outstanding Honor Roll variety of 
1935. Color is apricot orange and coral with a blending of lemon 
yellow. Fine high centers of perfect Semi-Cactus form. 
Roots $1.50 Plants $ .75 
OMAR KHAYYAM (F. D.) This big red has much the appearance of 
Jersey’s Beacon, but the plants are much better growers, and the 
plants have fine long stems. The color is Chinese red shading to 
orange, being somewhat lighter at tips. Roots $ .50 
ORIENTAL BEAUTY (S. C.) Soft glowing pink of good size and erect 
stems. A splendid cactus and a beauty in every respect. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
ORIENTAL GLORY (I. D.) An orange beauty which comes to us from 
the Mid-West. The glowing orange blooms are most attractive and 
we really know of nothing just like it. Stems are long with blooms 
nicely placed, foliage is healthy and clean. Another certificate of 
merit and Honor Roll variety. Roots $ .50 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH (F. D.) This crimson carmine giant has been 
a favorite wherever shown in the two years it has been on the 
market. Habit of growth is very vigorous, substance is good. Size 
from 8 to 11 inches. Roots $2.50 Plants $1.00 
PAUL PFITZER (S. C.) A companion variety to Frau Bracht. Much 
the same in formation and stem, but in color a soft sulphur, blended 
lilac rose. Has a fine erect stem and an all around good grower. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
PASTEL GLOW (I. D.) A Dahlia of delicate and unusual coloring, 
white with mallow purple reverse, giving an effect of orchid-violet 
iridescence. Erect stems and clean growth. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
PERGUNTY (F. D.) This is one of the brightest and cleanest reds we 
have ever grown. It is a medium size variety, a very free bloomer, 
and an excellent cut flower sort as it keeps well when cut. Roots $ .50 
PEPPERMINT CANDY (S. C.) Cream striped and splashed carmine. 
We introduced this dahlia in 1924 and it still continues to be one of 
our largest sellers in spite of the fact that the stems are not strong 
enough to properly support the blooms. Nothing exactly like it. 
Roots $ .50 
PINK DAILY MAIL (I. D.) Described by its introducers as a cyclamen 
pink sport of Daily Mail. However, with us the color was more mauve 
than pink. It has the same size and habits of the original. Awarded 
a certificate of merit at the A. D. S. Trial Gardens at Storrs in 
1935. 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (I. D.) A new red from the West which is mak¬ 
ing good. The flowers are very large, frequently a foot in diameter, 
of the most rich glistening crimson imaginable. The bushes are tall 
with a tough healthy foliage. Roots $ .50 
RENATE MUELLER A beautiful and useful straight cactus. Color 
is salmon pink on primrose yellow. Long pointed petals, stems long 
and wiry. Size large for this type of Dahlia. 
Roots $1.00
