KITTY MAC—I. D. Here is another sensational 
dahlia of exceptional merit. The color is a red¬ 
dish purple (Petunia Purple). Flowers are 10 to 
12 inches in diameter, and 6 to 7 inches in depth, 
and are held facing upward on stems as rigid as 
a cane. Flowers recurve toward the stem simi¬ 
lar to the Lord Autumn and America’s Sweet¬ 
heart. Plant six feet and over in height, foliage 
thick and leathery like toughness, making it 
practically immune to injury by sucking insects. 
This fine dahlia should be in every high class col¬ 
lection. Hart’s Honor Roll. 
Roots, $300; Plants, $1.50. 
MARGRACE—I.D. (Bissell) 1936. 8-11 ins., 4-7 
ins. deep. 4V2-5 ft. high. Brilliant scarlet, tipped 
and striped gold. In hot weather the gold is not 
so prominent. Large full centered blooms held 
well on long stiff stems. Made about the best 
record of the year. At the Mid-West Show at 
Cleveland it won first in the Informal Decorative 
Class; sweepstakes in the Seedling Classes, and 
first in the Informal Decorative Class at the 
Michigan State Show. Outstanding at the Bronx 
Park, N. Y. and the trials grounds at Fairmont, 
West Virginia. Certificate of Merit at both 
Storrs, Conn, and East Lansing, Michigan. Honor 
Roll. 
Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25. 
MARY RITZER—S.C., e, g, blooms large and per¬ 
fect form, plants medium to tall, stems and fol¬ 
iage fine. A sport of Edna Ferber; color pink 
without shading. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, $ .75. 
MID WEST CHAMPION (American D.F.), .1 D, 
1936, Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 4 ft. Brilliant violet 
rose with yellow shadings at base of petals. Ac¬ 
cording to Rideway’s color chart this would be a 
Listeran Purple. Plant growth and stems are 
ideal with heavy insect-resisting foliage. Certi¬ 
fied at East Lansing and Storrs, scoring 86 and 
85 1/7E respectively. 
Roots, $2.50; Plants, $1.25. 
MISS OAKLAND (Oakleigh-Lakeside 85-E), FD, 
1937, Bloom 9x5, Bush 4'/2 H. There are sev¬ 
eral good whites being introduced this season 
and we believe this one is the best Formal white 
from what we saw of it at Storrs, and in the 
Bronx Botanical Gardens, New York. There are 
so few white Formals suitable for exhibition 
that this variety certainly should be appreciated. 
Long erect stems and leathery, insect-resistant 
foliage. Certified at East Lansing in 1935 and at 
Storrs in 4936. 
Plants, $2.00.
