When better dahlias are grown, I will grow them. 
GEORGE WASHINGTON 
1. D (Sutcliffe-Parrella)— 
A great dahlia named in 
honor of the Father of 
our Country. Deep rose- 
pink with silver tips, but 
the tips are not on all 
petals. Large flower and 
a very fine formation, 
looks something like Shar- 
izad, but a more refined 
flower. The color deepens 
at the base of the petals. 
Perfect stems and has a 
wonderful growing habit. 
A tall plant with wonder¬ 
ful branching habits, and 
a very fine dark green 
foliage, insect resisting. 
Growing this dahlia once 
means it will have a choice 
spot in your garden every 
year. 
Roots $3.50 Plants $1.75

GOLDEN STANDARD S. C. (Downs)—A dahlia that was very much needed in 
this class. A very shov^^y variety of large size. Color, a golden tan, blushed 
with tints of amber and bronze. The blooms are held facing on long stiff 
stems. Plant averages 6 feet. Roots $1.50 
We want to thank those who have sent to us Seedlings for trial this past 
season. Assure you we have given them the best of attention. We would ap¬ 
preciate receiving more of them for the coming season providing they are good. 
We will do all we can to put them over. 
If there is any variety that you’re interested in and don’t find listed, 
write to us, we may be able to accommodate you, as we have many more 
varieties but only in small quantities, and that is why we have not listed 
them. 
To grow better dahlias, we urgently request all readers and customers to 
subscribe to the FLOWER GROWER MAGAZINE. This is one of the finest 
Publications on Gardening in general, on dahlias particularly. For more in¬ 
formation regarding a subscription write to the J. B. LYON COMPANY,
