-HI-SPEED. I. D. (B. & B.) A new color that 
is delightful—French Plum. Vigorous grow¬ 
er, tall, early and free-blooming. Blooms held 
high on top of a good stem. An exhibition 
variety of merit; blooms 8-11 inches. Root, 
$15; Plant $7.50. 
-SCARLET JERSEY BEAUTY. F. D. 
(“Wolfe”, 1938) Bloom 7x4. Bush to 7 
ft. A beautiful scarlet color. The long, 
straight, stiff stems hold the flower high above 
the extra nice clean foliage. Stems can be cut 
three feet in length. The flowers face side to 
a 45-degree angle, and you can cut plenty of 
flowers in a season, which, after testing their 
durability as a cut flower, last half a day long¬ 
er than the pink Jersey Beauty, and is also 
about ten days earlier. After growing it for 
several years, we can say that it never stunts 
and never shows an open center, no matter 
how late in the season. It is a good root 
maker. On Three Honor Rolls in 1938. Roots 
$5; Plants $2. 
SHELDON’S LOUISE. I. D. (Sheldon) A 
gigantic bloom of a lovely, rich red with a

ton, 1936, where it won First Prize and a Spe¬ 
cial Gold Medal. Plants grow 8 to 9 ft. tall 
and blooms face nearly up on giant stems, 3 
to 4 ft. long. Center perfect. Div. $7.59; 
Plants $3.50. 
TANNENBURG. S. C. One of the best of 
the foreign importations. Blood red on yel¬ 
low, golden yellow tips. Large bloom, per¬ 
fect stem. Div. $2; Plants $1. 
# TOM BLACKWOOD. Dec. (Boender) An im¬ 
mense bloom of deep red and gold on a tall, 
sturdy bush. A beautiful dahlia on long, stiff 
stems. Worth twice the price quoted. Divs. 
$5; Plants $2. 
-VIRGINIA PELICANO. I. D. (Pelicano) 
Out of seven new whites we tried out last 
year this was the best. A very large bloom

long, stiff stems. Bush 5 ft. Winner of 
Achievement Medal at San Francisco, 1937;
