1937 Introductions (Other Sources) 
WATCHUNG GIANT— I. D. (Smith). This is truly a giant 
among giants, and we believe it is the most outstanding dah¬ 
lia of the 1937 introductions. It was a contender for the 
Achievement medal in the 1936 A. D. S. show in New York 
City, and in the opinion of almost every well informed dah- 
liast present, it was by far the best dahlia in the class and 
should have been awarded the Achievement Medal. That it 
did not receive this distinguished honor brought down on the 
heads of the judges the indignation of the on-lookers, as all 
felt a great injustice had been done to a great dahlia. 
This giant is a beautiful light definite yellow, with warm 
suffusion of rose, and notwithstanding its great size it is 
without coarseness, as is often the case with larg( flow¬ 
ered dahlias. The plant is very sturdy, and foliage, stem 
and habit excellent. 
Plants, each $3.75 
AMERICAN PURITY— S. C. (Am. Dahlia Farms). This ideal 
semi-cactus pure white dahlia was introduced in the spring 
of 1937, and wherever it was grown last season it made hosts 
of friends. It is immense in size, and has wonderful sub¬ 
stance and keeping qualities for such a large flower. Has 
many first prizes to its credit, as well as the Achievement 
medal for the best and largest bloom in the show. Plant 
attains to a height of about 5 feet, and is quite prolific of 
large perfect blooms. We know of no other white quite 
equal to it in its type. 
Plants, each $3.75 
AZURA —I. D. We saw this dahlia in the garden of a friend 
in Norfolk, Va., in late October, 1937. Its bright rosy lilac, 
with bluish violet sheen color instantly attracted our atten¬ 
tion ‘and admiration. It is a very large, deep flower, and 
has been grown up to 14 inches in diameter. Plant tall 
and strong, and free blooming. This is not just another 
rose pink; but is tops in this color class. 
Plants, each $2.50 
DEAN ANDERSON —I. D. The color of this fine dahlia is rad¬ 
iant henna-orange, flowers are of true exhibition type, and 
are held in an ideal position on long, strong stems. Plant 
4 V 2 to 5 feet, luxuriant insect resisting foliage. A world beat¬ 
er in its color class. 
Plants, each $3.50 
CHEROKEE —S. C. A positive semi-cactus of pleasing lavender 
pink with light center, which in some respects might be de¬ 
scribed as a very much improved Marion Brooomall. Flow¬ 
ers large and deep, stems extra long and straight. Plant 
a good grower, and does best if the center is pinched out of 
it early. 
Plants, each $2.50 
MISS GLORY —S. C. Color, apricot yellow, massive in size, 
yet an extremely refined flower in every sense. A free, early 
and continuous bloomer throughout the season. Perfect 
stems. Storrs’ trial grounds judges gave it a score of 86. 
On many honor rolls, many first prize winnings to its credit. 
Plants, each $2.50 
MARGRACE —I. D. (Bissell). The large, graceful flowers' of 
brilliant scarlet, tipped gold entitle it to the high rating 
given to it by experts in the dahlia world. Plant -is a ro¬ 
bust grower, flowers large, with good stems. A great prize 
winner. 
Plants, each $2.00, 3 for $5.00
