DAHLIAS 
1938 
HUNT’S VELVET WONDER 
Informal Decorative 
WATCHUNG GIANT (I. D.) This we consider the most outstanding 
of all the 1937 introductions. Its record as a prize winner is an 
enviable one. The color is light clear yellow with suffusions of rose. 
Despite its extreme size it has no appearance of coarseness. 
Plants $2.50 
WHITE BEAUTY (I. D.) This is introduced as a white Jersey’s Beauty. 
We fail to see the resemblance as the petals are quite pointed and 
the habit of growth is different. It is, however, a grand white and 
we believe has a bright future as a commercial cut flower variety 
and it can also be grown to exhibition size. 
Roots $2.00 Plants $ .75 
WHITE WONDER (I. D.) Has been termed a white Fort Monmouth, 
and we believe it is going to prove as valuable as a white as Fort 
Monmouth has a purple. It is a fine deep flower with pointed petals. 
Grows erect and has a very tough insect proof foliage. A big pro¬ 
ducer of roots as well as blooms. Roots $ .50 
WM. J. WYLLIE (F. D.) This is a fine compact growing plant which 
produces a wealth of fine waxy yellow blooms, as the flowers mature 
showing slight delicate pinkish tones. Size is large and habits are 
all good. Certificate at Storrs in 1936. Plants $1.50 
YO YO (Ball) Our 1933 introduction. A most perfect ball of rich 
autumn shadings. Base golden yellow with rich golden bronze suffu¬ 
sions. Has long stems and is a good grower. Roots $ .35
