MISS ELSIE JANE (Dahliadel 85C 87E), 1934, Bloom 6x4, 
Bush 5 ft. This variety is continuing to win on the ex¬ 
hibition table, especially in the basket and arrangement 
classes as it is just about the most artistically formed 
dahlia we have ever seen. In color, too, it is unique, 
being a shrimp pink with cream shadings at center and 
tipped violet rose, a fine and useful color combination.... 
MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER (Ruschmohr 85E), 1935, 
Bloom 10x5, Bush 5 ft. As an exhibition dahlia this 
variety did considerable winning last season and has been 
shown 141/2 inches in diameter. It has given Murphy's 
Masterpiece plenty of competition as it is quite similar in 
form and also a red, but this one is described as a car¬ 
mine red . 50 
MURPHY'S MASTERPIECE, I. D. (87), LL., 4 to 5 ft. 
Immense dark red that takes its place as one of the 
outstanding exhibition varieties of all time. It was 
more in evidence than any other variety at the fail 
shows last year. There seems to be no limit to the size 
that this great Dahlia can be grown. Stem and growth 
are all that can be desired... 60 
MYRA HOWARD, I. D. (85), ML., 5 ft. The color of this 
marvelous Dahlia is a glowing combination of saffron 
yellow and gold with tints of salmon. A wonderful plant 
and thrifty grower, producing giant blooms freely on 
long rigid stems.< ... :.. 40 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (Kemp 85E), Bloom 11x4, Bush 
5/2 ft. Popularity seems to stay with this variety. A 
vigorous grower, producing beautiful exhibition blooms 
of brilliant scarlet orange. Perfect stems and insect- 
resistant foliage. Still a consistent prize winner. ..40 
MONMOUTH QUEEN (Kemp, 1934), F. D. In this new 
Dahlia we have a most pleasing color effect, it being 
picric yellow in the center with a graduation of light 
primrose to cream yellow. A mighty fine variety. 
NEW GLORY (Trosfle 82E), Bloom 7x3, Bush 5 ft. A 
striking combination of purple garnet tipped white and 
a popular winner in the bi-color class. Bushes are strong 
and healthy and stems erect...;... .40 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH (Oakleigh 85), Bloom 9x5, Bush 
5 ft. Although we have a number of good reds, most of 
them are Informal, and this outstanding red has made a 
name for itself in the Formal Decorative class on the 
show table. Deep, full centered blooms on strong, erect 
stems. Splendid keeping qualities. Habit of growth is 
very vigorous and rugged. Color is crimson carmine, 
which does not fade. Certified at East Lansing. .75 
OMAR KHAYYAM, F. D. (88), LL., 5 ft. A much ad¬ 
mired giant. Color, a Chinese red at the base of petals 
and shading to a bright orange and tipped lighter. The

dahlia we know of. Color a bright, clear lavender, 
slightly tinted lilac... .50

the center. Ten to 12 inches across by 6 inches deep;

always closed and all alike; stem stalks very tall, 
straight and long-jointed. A nearly perfect dahlia.

rose and shell pink that blends wonderfully well with 
Frau O. Bracht... 40
