DIRECTEUR PLUMCOCQ^d. D.) “Pezant”. This European 
origination was heralded as the greatest large flowered dah¬ 
lia in the world when announcement of its pending introduc¬ 
tion in America was made in 19361,, which was scheduled for 
spring of 1938. We procured several plants of it which 
were grown in pots the past season, for propagating purposes. 
Therefore: we have not seen it bloom, and for that reason 
we are not in a position to either endorse it or to con¬ 
demn it. It is described as being the largest ever known to 
date, extremely full and nearly as deep as it is wide, color; 
rich old gold, shaded brown without any other tints. Strong, 
cane-like stems hold the flowers high and well out of the 
foliage. Plant a strong vigorous grower, and very prolific. 
We offer a limited number of plants, but in no wise do we 
guarantee its performance in this country. 
Plants, each $3.00, 3 for $8.00 
YANKEE GOLD (Wakeman) —I. D. The color of this giant 
dahlia is bright gold,, deepening toward the center. As an 
exhibition flower in the largest flower class, it compares fav¬ 
orably with Sultan of Hillcrest, Milton J. Cross, Murphy’s 
Masterpiece, Rudolph’s Giant, Watchung Giant and other 
giant flowered varieties. The plant is a tall healthy grower, 
and will stand heavy applications of fertilizer, without injury 
to plant or flower. A good keeper when cut, and will stand 
up in the show room when many other large blooms go down.
