1939 
ALLING’S 
MRS. M. W. CLEMENT (Johnson) Can be best described 
was a much larger and glorified Milton J. Cross. Color 
is gold with apricot. The formation of a high center and 
twisting petals makes it most pleasant. A very sturdy 
grower that will come through even with unfavorable 
weather thus insuring you no failures. Plants $2.50 
MOHAWK CHIEF (Gates=Ailing) Our introduction for 
1938 which we believe can compete with the largest. It 
is informal decorative in type, a very deep, rich velvety 
cardinal red in color and has extra long petals which 
point forward and have a slight twist which adds to the 
appeal of the bloom; centers are high and full. Good 
substance. Stems carry the blooms facing and are of 
good length. Foliage thick and insect resistant. Certi¬ 
ficate of Merit, Georgia Test Gardens, 1937. 
Roots $5.00 Plants $1.50 
PRESIDENT BENES (Czechoslovakia) Informal decora¬ 
tive. We believe this to be one of the finest recent im¬ 
portations. Plants in our gardens were laden with huge 
blooms from early to late. The color is an unusual cop¬ 
per bronze with a slight silvery sheen. Cane-like stems. 
Plants $2.00 
ROSY MORN (Johnson) Informal decorative. Here is the 
color we long desired in Dahlias. A brilliant deep rose 
pink. Blooms 10 x 5 inches deep are held above the 
foliage on long straight stems. A clean growing plant 
having dark green insect resisting type foliage. An 
American Home Achievement medal winner at the Balti¬ 
more show. Plants $2.00
