AMERICA’S SWEETHEART I. D. (Nunneviller) 
—An immense size dahlia very outstanding 
among the new introductions. Color is pure yel¬ 
low without a particle of shading. Even the outer 
petals do not fade out like those in most dahlias. 
Many of the petals are double serrated, and curl 
and twist as the bloom develops. They fold back 
to the stem, reminding one of a huge chrysanthe¬ 
mum. This dahlia has carried away many prizes. 
Don’t miss this one. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50. 
AMERICAN PURITY (American D. F.), S-C, 1937, 
Bloom 101/2 X 8, Bush 4 V 2 ft. This variety won 
in the Undisseminated Semi-Cactus Classes in 
Philadelphia, Baltimore and Chicago, also an 
American Home Achievement Medal at Chicago. 
It is a fine, large, deep white on strong, erect 
stems. Its substance and keeping qualities make 
it an ideal exhibition dahlia. Foliage clean, and 
a good root maker. 
Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.75. 
AMELIA EARHART (Cordes-Eastman S.C.), 
Bloom 12 X 6, Bush 4 ft. Although this variety 
has been temperamental for some, we have stock 
which should be satisfactory. Color is apricot 
buff with salmon tints shading to soft yellow 
at base of petals. One might picture it as an im¬ 
proved Edna Ferber of larger size, better stems, 
and with more gold and less rose shadings. 
Roots, $2.00. 
BALLEGO’S SURPRISE, S.C. (Ballego)—With us 
this was the most beautiful of all white dahlias. 
The formation is not unlike the now very popu¬ 
lar Frau 0. Bracht, of which it is a seedling. 
The blooms are a trifle larger than the parent, 
and stems a little better. One of the most pro¬ 
lific bloomers in our garden, and with fine keep¬ 
ing qualities. This will meet with instant favor. 
Roots, $2.00 
BLUE RIVER F. D. It is formal decorative, a blue 
French violet, the nearest to a blue dahlia that 
we have ever seen. It never fails to grow. It 
has won many prizes. It was best formal in Sec¬ 
tion B at the recent N. Y. Show. 
Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.50
