DIRECTEUR PLUMCOCQ. I. D. (Pizant) 
This is one of the largest and best dahlias 
ever grown or introduced, and is going 
to create a sensation when released. Blooms 
15 inches and over and of great depth seem to 
grow natural with this variety. It created a 
sensation in Europe the past season and 
scored 98 out of a possible 100 points at the 
Migron trial grounds in France, which are 
identical to those of our own at Storrs. Also 
won more cups and awards than any other 
dahlia was ever known to win in a single sea¬ 
son. The blooms extremely full and nearly as 
deep as wide. Color rich old gold shaded brown 
without any other tints. The blooms last a 
long time on the plant and in water, and are 
held at a forty-five degree angle on strong 
cane-like stems, high and well above the foli¬ 
age, in the greatest profusion from early un¬ 
til very late in the season. The foliage is large, 
thick and leathery, the kind that not even 
grasshoppers will bother. The plant is of ex¬ 
traordinary vigor and well in harmony with 
the huge flowers. Extremely scarce. Div. 
$10 (limited); Plants $5. 
FIREBALL. F. D. (Bissell) Color a brilliant 
one tone scarlet, which does not burn in the 
sun. The foliage is heavy and absolutely in¬ 
sect resistant. It is medium height. A 
very early bloomer and the flowers keep ex¬ 
ceptionally well when cut. Honor Roll and 
Certificate of Merit. Winner of three blue 
ribbons in the formal decorative classes in 
1936. Winner of the Charles H. Ruscher Me¬ 
morial Cup at the National Show at Detroit.
