MOTHER MAYTROTT. (Berwick-Dahliadel). 1937, 
ID. 10-11 ins. X 6-7 ins. deep; 5 ft tall. This 
outstanding? artistic white informal decorative 
of large size and good depth is an early and con¬ 
sistently profuse bloomer, holding perfect 
centers throughout the season. It is not temper- 
mental, but a good grower with healthy, dark 
green foliage, strong erect stems, and remark¬ 
able keeping qualities. Among the first to bloom, 
it will be a winner, in its class, on the exhibi¬ 
tion table. Won the American Home Achieve¬ 
ment Medal and as the Best Bloom in the show 
at Washington, D. C. 1936, amid keen competi¬ 
tion. Certificate of Merit at American Dahlia 
Society Trial Grounds at Storrs, Conn, scoring 
85 exhibition and 85 commercial. Named for 
that grand old lady, the mother of Warren W. 
Maytrott. 
Roots, $7.50; Plants, $3.75. 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE — ID. (Murphy),

prize winner because of size and form, but 
beautiful for garden purposes.

MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER (Ruschmohr 
I.D.), 1935, Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. As an exhi¬ 
bition dahlia this variety did considerable win¬ 
ning last season and has been shown 14V^ inches

plenty of competition as it is quite similar in 
form and also a red, but this one is described as 
a carmine red. 
Roots, $1.50; Plants, $ .75.

ing orange on good stiff stems. The bush is rath¬ 
er low but the blooms are well up and good.
