BETTY MALONE (Malone-Dahliadel 87S), Pom, 
Bloom 1 % x 1 Bush 3 y 2 ft- The outstanding 
Pompon of the year. Among its winnings were 
three Blue Ribbons and two awards for outstand¬ 
ing entries at the A.D.S. Show in N. Y. and the 
best Pom in the Seedling class at Camden, as well as 
three First Awards at other shows. A very out¬ 
standing and clean cut variety that produces a mass 
of blooms perfect in form for exhibiting. A Pom¬ 
pon which is different in color, white with each pet¬ 
al distinctly and evenly tipped violet purple. Stems 
long and straight on bushes that branch naturally. 
Scored 87 at Storrs in 1937 and Cert, at W. Va. and

l 
CHITA (Dahliadel 85S), Bloom 1 % x 1 [4, Bush 3 ft. 
Of these three yellow Pompons we believe Little 
Prince and Grain O’Gold will win on the show table 
from what we have seen of the blooms. Chita is just 
right for a commercial as it is a good keeper, does 
not shower petals, bush and stems perfect and cen¬ 
ters very full. A beautiful clear canary yellow even 
under artificial light. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $1.50 
Introductions of Other Growers

Seedling at N. Y. in 1938. Plants, $1.50 
LITTLE PRINCE (Johnson), Pom, Bloom t^xl. 
The smallest of yellow Pompons. Very neat. Com¬ 
pletes to stem the way a good Pompon should. Not 
having grown this variety do not know growing ha¬ 
bits. House Beautiful Futurity, ’39. Plants, $1.00 
DAHLIADEL 1939 INTRODUCTIONS 
VIRGINIA SHIPLEY (Cory-Dahliadel), FD, Bloom 11 x 7, Bush 5 ft. This wonderful dahlia was named for 
the young lady who is pictured below. Have watched this dahlia since it first won in the Seedling Class in 
Baltimore three years ago. It has been a consistent prize winner and a close runner-up for the Achieve¬ 
ment Medal both in New York and Camden this season. In 1937 it won the American Home Achievement 
Medal in Washington and in 1938 it won the Camden Medal for Best Formal Decorative and a Silver Medal 
in Detroit, beside two A.D.S. Medals in New York and First prize for Best Yellow, 5 blooms, in Washing¬ 
ton, winning over California Idol, Lord of Autumn and Dixie Queen. Won Medal in Baltimore for Best 
Maryland Origination. Listed in the Dahlia Futurity, ’39. Deep lemon yellow with a golden hue which is 
so different from our other yellows. The foliage is heavy and rugged, growing without the special care of 
dusting or spraying which some of our yellows need. The bloom opens as a Formal Decorative but devel¬ 
ops into an Informal Decorative at times. Roots, $10.00; Plants, $3.50
