Memorial Medal, the American Home Achievement 
Medal, 1936. The blooms are very uniform, full and 
complete. Color, lilac suffused deep rose pink. Stems 
very long and erect. Fine for cutting especially 
when disbudded. When not disbudded bushes are a 
mass of blooms 5 x /z x 4". Foliage dark and healthy.

mend. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.00 
AMERICAN TRIUMPH (American D. F. 84E), 
Bloom 8 x 4, Bush 5 ft. Color, oriental or bright, 
clear red. Blooms, with high full centers, are held 
on long, straight stems. Petals are decidedly in¬ 
curved when flower is fully developed. A good gar¬ 
den and exhibition flower, as it is an exceptionally 
good keeper. Susceptible to thrip and leaf-hopper 
injury. .50 
F. W. FELLOWS, Bloom 8 x 3 Zz, Bush 5 Zz ft. 
Lively orange scarlet. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
GOLDEN STANDARD (Downs 85E), Bloom 9x5, 
Bush 4 Zz ft. A warm buff shaded amber and gold. 
Very pleasing in form with full centers and evenly 
arranged petals. Like a number of other Incurved 
Cactus dahlias at times it is inclined to be Straight. 
Bush is a good open grower. Stem holds flower 
facing at right angles, which shows up well in the 
garden or when exhibited and has been a consistent 
prize winner. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50

MME. GEO. PEZANT (Foreign 85E), Bloom 8x4, 
Bush 4 ft. A truly Incurved Cactus, distinctive in 
form and color. A bright blood red with lighter re¬ 
verse showing occasionally at tips. Long strong 
stems, rugged foliage and a good bloomer. Exhibi¬ 
tion blooms may need some protection from the sun 
in the early season. Plants, .75 
PINK SPIRAL (Bruidegom 85C), Bloom 8x4, Bush 
4 Zz ft. A dainty attractive color combination of 
peach blossom pink with yellow at the center that is

ROYAL PURCHASE (Salem 85E), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush AZ2 ft* This shaggy Incurved Cactus is really 
massive enough to go with the Semi-Cactus dahlias. 
However, the long slender petals twist and turn but 
revolute sufficiently to place it in the Cactus Class. 
Color, straw yellow outer petals suffused pink. A 
good early bloomer. Deep, full blooms held well out 
of the foliage. Roots, $2.00; Plants, .75 
SLEEPY HOLLOW (Cuyahoga D. G. 85E), Bloom 
9x5, Bush 6 ft. This winner of the Dahlia Futur¬ 
ity for 1938 is a pure pink with a white center, borne 
on long, strong stems, and attracted a great deal of 
attention in the show rooms. Won first in the Cac¬ 
tus Class in New York, besides numerous Firsts and 
Specials elsewhere. Plants, $2.00 
SON OF SATAN (Slocum 85E), Bloom 11 x 5, Bush 
5 ft. This variety is an improvement over Satan as 
it is a bright scarlet and has stronger stems. Al¬ 
though the petals revolute sufficiently to bring it in¬ 
to the Incurved Cactus Class, under varied conditions 
it will develop into a Semi-Cactus. 
Roots, $3.50; Plants, $1.25 
INSPIRATION (Ballego 84C), Bloom 7x3 Zz, Bush 
6 ft. Light lemon yellow blooms with pointed petals.
