JEROME KERN. Pale pinkish buff, 
faintly suffused gold, this new East¬ 
ern dahlia is most attractive. Splen¬ 
did in the East, for all purposes as the 
centers come closed. Even better for 
general cutting in this part of Califor¬ 
nia as the orange pollen center, sur¬ 
rounded by a twisted and curled ring 
of center petals gives a more graceful 
effect than that of the more formal 
types. Produces a profusion of blooms 
and is a “Best Keeper.” Good stems.

mon pink dahlia is one of the best cut

ular of all dahlias. One of the “Best 
Keepers” .40c

full as well. Color very pleasing, 
stems long. A “Best Keeper”....$5.00

Beauty, retaining the same shape and 
keeping qualities. Light salmon orange,

the “Best Keepers” .50c 
LAVENDER LASS (Salbach 1936). F. 
D. Previously called “Lavender Lady.” 
A beautiful formal decorative of very 
large size, elegance of form and color¬ 
ing, with good growing habits. Won 
first as best two-year-old seedling at 
the California Flower Festival, 1934. 
Color clear delicate lavender, shading 
deeper at tips of petals. A good doer 
everywhere, as is evidenced by a note 
from one of our Texas customers, who 
states “Lavender Lady (Lass) is beau¬ 
tiful beyond description.” A “Best 
Keeper” .$1.50 
LORD OF AUTUMN. I. D. Deepest of 
all the yellows, and with tremendous¬ 
ly large blooms, this variety has been 
a sensation throughout the East. Bet¬ 
ter than ever this year—probably be¬ 
cause our stock has not been green 
planted since our original purchase. 
A “Best Keeper” and fine for landscap¬ 
ing. Now available at .$1.50 
MARGRACE. I. D. Another very large 
dahlia, a good doer everywhere, and in 
every way. Very vivid, being rich red, 
suffused yellow at the very tip. A 
real champion among champions. A 
“Best Keeper” .$2.50 
MISS GLORY. S. C. Mr. Ballay’s sen¬ 
sational introduction of 1935, we feel 
inclined to rank it as a finer all-time 
dahlia than Mr. Ballay’s sensational 
variety, Satan. Described as “soft- 
apricot yellow,” but, like Milton J. 
Cross, it is really pure yellow. Per¬ 
fect semi-cactus in form and massive 
in size. A free and early bloomer with 
perfect stems— in fact has every quali¬ 
fication necessary to place it as the 
finest yellow dahlia grown. Has been 
highly rated on various honor rolls, and 
is, in our opinion, the best new dahlia 
introduced in years.$5.00 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE. F. D. An¬ 
other exceptionally good rich red. 
Large blooms—fine stems. A consist¬ 
ent winner in the shows.$1.50

beautifully coloi'ed dahlias of this type; 
very rich pinkish shade of old rose. 50c

tus that is a very soft pastel shade of 
pink. Most attractive, and a “Best 
Keeper”.$2.00

Dahlia CLARA CLEMENS 
MRS. CARL SALBACH (Salbach). F. 
D. One of the most dependable of all 
dahlias. A sturdy, vigorous grower, 
full of blooms and a fine tuber maker. 
The flowers, which are uniformly sym¬ 
metrical, are a beautiful orchid shade 
and are borne on long stout stems. 
The bushes are stately in the garden. 
One of the “Best Keepers”.40c 
MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER. F. 
D. One of the most sensational new 
dahlias we have grown for years. Like 
Eagle Rock Fantasy, and Sanhican’s 
Cameo, it grows naturally to simply 
huge proportions. In fact, we are in¬ 
clined to believe that Mrs. Le Boutil- 
lier will grow even larger than the 
other two, for we have had twelve inch 
blooms without disbudding. Bright, 
yet very rich, velvety red. A real 
standout, sensational in the garden, 
and due for continued championships 
in the show room for many years to 
come .$1.50 
MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL. I. D. A beau¬ 
tiful old rose decorative. The flowers 
are huge, of great depth and substance. 
Strong, tall bushes with excellent 
stems .50c 
MILTON J. CROSS. I. D. Easily the 
biggest prize winner of the new 1936 
dahlias, winning five medals, including 
3 American Home Achievement 
Medals. Large blooms, almost as deep 
as wide. Fine tall, long stems. Des¬ 
cribed as “apricot peach with a bright 
golden face,” but for practical pur¬ 
poses, it should be considered as a 
pure yellow . $5.00
