DAHLIAS 
1939 
PERGUNTY (F. D.) This is one of the brightest and clean¬ 
est reds we have ever grown. It is a medium size variety, 
a very free bloomer, and an excellent cut flower sort as it 
keeps well when cut. Roots $ .50 
PEPPERMINT CANDY (S. C.) Cream striped and 
splashed carmine. We introduced this Dahlia in 1924 and 
it still continues to be one of our largest sellers in spite 
of the fact that the stems are not strong enough to 
properly support the blooms. Nothing exactly like it. 
Roots $ .50 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (I. D.) A new red from the West 
which is making good. The flowers are very large, fre¬ 
quently a foot in diameter, of the most rich glistening 
crimson imaginable. The bushes are tall with a tough 
healthy foliage. Roots $ .50 
RENATE MUELLER A beautiful and useful straight cac¬ 
tus. Color is salmon pink on primrose yellow. Long 
pointed petals, stems long and wiry. Size large for this, 
type of Dahlia. Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
ROBERT L. RIPLEY (I. D.) Rhodomine purple with rose 
suffusions. Very large. Habits and stems all good. 
Plants $2.00 
ROCKLEY MOON (F. D.) A 1935 introduction of excep¬ 
tional merit and a certificate winner at the two official 
A. D. S. trial gardens. The color is clear bright yellow 
and the blooms are produced on long, erect stems. 
Flowers are large and the plants are tall, vigorous 
growers. Roots $ .50 
ROSE FALLON (F. D.) We have a fine strain of stock of 
this big deep reddish orange beauty. Two foot stems and 
huge flowers. Nothing better in the cheaper sorts. 
Roots $ .50 
RUDOLPH’S GIANT (I. D.) A real big one as the name 
implies. Color is a fine clear golden apricot with pastel 
pink and golden tan. Cane stiff stems. Certificate at 
Storrs and on three Honor Rolls. Plants $2.00 
RUDY VALLEE (S. C.) A big spreading bloom; a brilliant 
orange and gold. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
SATAN (I. D.) A no more appropriate name could have 
been selected for this red giant. The flaring red flowers 
have a sort of stag horn petal which is faintly tipped old 
gold. The stems are long, very erect and clean. 
Roots $ .50 Plants $ .50 
SHAHRAZAD (I. D.) In California this is known as a pink 
Jane Cowl. This may not be an accurate description but 
at any rate it is a huge deep pink of good substance and 
depth. A worthwhile addition to any collection. 
Roots $ .50 
SHIROKANE (Cactus) A very prolific creamy to clear 
white. Fine erect grower, good size and a fine keeper 
when cut. Roots $2.00 Plants $ .75 
SON OF SATAN (S. C.) A much improved Satan. Better 
stems, clearer color and larger—if possible. Color clear 
scarlet red. Roots $3.50 Plants $1.25 
STAR OF BETHLEHEM (I. D.) This star-like white bloom 
always attracts attention. Color is pure white, stems are 
erect and plants are good growers. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
THOMAS A. EDISON (F. D.) A gorgeous royal purple 
with a brilliant rich finish. The size is large and the 
petals are of a stag horn formation. Has every desirable 
habit including a rich green foliage. Nothing exactly 
like it in style or color. Roots $ .50 
VOLCANO (I. D.) Orange fl ame red. Vigorous grower and 
large size. Will succeed in very hot weather and other 
adverse conditions. Plants $1.50
