ALICE MEUSSDORFFER 
INTRODUCTION FOR 1938 
FRANK WERNER 
Honor Roll 
First Prize Winner for Best Dahlia 
Best Three Year Old Undisseminated Dahlia 
Best Two Year Old Seedling 
A gigantic Informal Decorative with great depth, of a warm 
apricot, salmon and red, center of flower and reverse of petals bril¬ 
liant red, suffusing the entire bloom with a warm glow. First flowers 
face upward, and later flowers face one, and are held erect on strong 
straight stems on medium tall bushes, with dark green insect resist¬ 
ing foliage. It is the best keeper as a cut flower I have seen, having 
kept it in the house for 10 days in good condition. An outstanding 
dahlia and universally admired. 
Frank Werner grew and bloomed exceptionally well in New Jersey.
