JEAN BATTEN (Seal-Shailor) 1938 I.D .—A great new dahlia from New Zealand that I am 
proud to introduce. A glorious colored blossom of golden salmon—rich and glowing— 
suffused with copper. The blooms are immense and can be grown to great size. The stems 
are wonderful, very long and stout. The plant is tall and a vigorous grower. An early 
bloomer. The flowers will keep for days when cut and will last indefinitely on the bush. 
We have frequently wished that every dahlia lover could see these gloriously colored 
blossoms in bloom in our garden. #10.00 net 
JEAN TRIMBEE (S.C.) —Largest bloom class, this distinctive dahlia is of a rich petunia violet, 
on long stems.#1.00 
KATHLEEN NORRIS (I.D.) —A marvelous dahlia called the greatest exhibition pink—a 
most beautiful silvery pink of great depth and size. Full center, very long stem, insect 
proof; a great bloomer and an excellent 
keeper. Prize stock. 75c 
*KAWEAH (Meussdorffer) I.D. — Color is 
hard to describe, a deep, clear, rose-cerise, 
center of petals shading to a rich, velvety 
cardinal toward the center of the flower, 
and when fully matured, shade lighter to¬ 
ward the tips of the petals, almost mauve 
or orchid. Blooms of 15 inches diameter, 
and very deep, are common, and these tre¬ 
mendous flowers are held perfectly erect on 
very long, extra strong, stiff stems. #1.50 
:;: KING ALFRED (Seal, 1936) I.D.— Immense, 
full velvety blossom the color of a brilliant 
rich, red ruby with crimson shadings. The 
long silver-backed petals turn and swirl 
showing the silver lining, making an un¬ 
usual and delightful new two-toned color 
combination of ruby and silver. The flowers 
of great substance and depth can easily be 
grown to a dameter of 12 to 14 inches. The 
immense blooms, on long stiff stems, face 
you. The centers are perfect and hold to 
the end of the season. The plant is of 
medium tall height and vigorous growth. 
The flowers are excellent keepers, and last 
for days, both on the plant and when cut. 
To those who love color, this dahlia will 
bring hours of intense enjoyment. King 
Alfred has attracted more attention in our 
garden than any other dahlia owing to its 
great size and alluring unusual color com¬ 
bination. See illustration on this page, also 
on page 3.#5.00
