DAHLIAbEL NURSERIES 
Treasure Chest (Dahliadel) 
TREASURE CHEST (Dahliadel 85C), 1936, Bloom 
8 */2 x 6, Bush 4 ft. The blooms grow in water and 
are better after two or three days inside, making it 
ideal as a cut flower, beautiful for baskets and all 
decorations. Treasure Chest produces beautiful, per- 
SEMI-CACTUS DAHLIAS—Cont’d 
fectly formed blooms as early as any variety in our 
fields and flowers are still perfect at frost. Color, 
soft golden yellow, very lightly suffused coral red 
similar in color to a light Jane Cowl but richer tone. 
A very practical dahlia with long slender stems. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, .75 
AMERICAN PURITY (American D. F. 85E), 1937, 
Bloom 10 / 2 x 8, Bush 4/ 2 ft. A fine, large, deep 
white on strong, erect stems. Its substance and 
keeping qualities make it an ideal exhibition dahlia. 
Foliage clean, and a good root maker. This variety 
won an Achievement Medal in among its prizes and 
is still a winner on the show table. 
Roots, $3.50; Plants, $1.25 
ANDREA CSIZIK (Ballego 85C), Bloom 5'/ 2 x 3, 
Bush 5 ft. A very beautiful commercial. Very sim¬ 
ilar in form and color to Dr. Helmuth Spat but a 
better root maker. We have not been able to grow 
enough blooms of either of these varieties for even 
local Florists. Bright violet rose on fine stems and 
a good grower. It will arrange beautifully for the 
exhibition table or home decorations. Early and 
profuse. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
GRETEL (Bauer 84C), Bloom 6x3, Bush 3 / 2 ft. 
Best described as a larger and darker Miss Belgium. 
Color, a soft fiery red. We find this variety very 
satisfactory for cutting and fine for exhibiting. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
KARL BONAWITZ (Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 8x5, 
Bush 5 / 2 ft. The brilliant, velvety carmine flowers 
are artistic and graceful in form. It comes the near¬ 
est to developing a perfect bush without topping or 
disbudding of any dahlia we know, as it just natur¬ 
ally branches and produces perfect and uniform 
blooms on long, erect stems. It is a wonderful keep¬ 
er and arranges well with lighter dahlias. 
Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
LIMELIGHT (Dahliadel 85E), 1938, Bloom 9x5, 
Bush 3 ft. A true Semi-Cactus with real pointed 
petals of soft sulphur yellow with blooms larger and 
deeper but similar to Frau O. Bracht and a variety 
that is much easier to grow. This is another semi¬ 
dwarf growing bush that will fit into landscape 
planting and give you exhibition blooms. Such com¬ 
pact bushes are not as easily damaged by storms. 
It has good erect stems, plenty long enough for cut¬ 
ting when disbudded and is an exceptionally free 
bloomer. Has performed exceptionally well in the 
heavy soils of Pennsylvania and Delaware and other 
sections of the country. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $1.50 
SATAN (Ballay-Success 85E), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 6 
ft. Color, scarlet with yellow on reverse of petals 
showing at the center as petals unfold. Stems are 
very long and may need some support in wet weath¬ 
er. Very showy in the garden. Bushes tall and 
rugged. Flowers are uniformly large and of regu¬ 
lar formation, keeping well when cut. Certified at 
Storrs. Roots, .75; Plants, .50
