Mother Maytrott (Informal Decorative) 
MOTHER MAYTROTT (Berwick-Dahliadel 87E, 
85C), 1937, Bloom 11 x 7, Bush 5 y 2 ft. We are 
proud of such an artistic and beautiful dahlia with 
our family name and Mother Maytrott has far ex¬ 
ceeded what we had hoped for. It is the white the 
dahlia world has long been waiting for, as it is not 
temperamental but a good grower with healthy dark 
foliage, strong erect stems, remarkable keeping qual¬ 
ities, and holds a perfect center throughout the sea¬ 
son. One of the first to bloom and consistently pro¬ 
fuse. We have reports of its excellent behavior all 
over the country and numerous winnings in the East 
as well as California, Oklahoma and Silver Cup for 
the best bloom in the show at Minneapolis, Minn, in 
1938. The originator won an American Home 
Achievement Medal at Washington, D. C. and it 
scored 85E and 85C at Storrs, 1936, an Award of Hon¬ 
or, Ga., 1937, and Cert. O.V.D.A., 1938. Blooms ar¬ 
range easily in baskets and vases for church and 
wedding decorations as well as exhibiting and it is a 
real pleasure to arrange them as they keep such an 
unusually long time. A variety you will be glad to 
own. Roots, $5.00; Plants, $2.00

CHARMER (Lloyds D. G. 85E), 1936, Bloom 10 x 6, 
Bush 5 Zz ft. A clear golden buff, lightly overlaid 
with an apricot yellow suffusion, very little rose 
showing. It is hardly necessary to say that the 
bush growth, foliage, stems, etc., are very similar 
and fully equal to Jane Cowl while in color it is 
lighter and cleaner. Keeping qualities as a cut flow¬ 
er are exceptionally good. Cert, at Storrs.

DUCHESS (Herzogen von Wuerttemberg) (85E), Bloom 
10x6, Bush 4 •/£ ft. Color, warm buff suffused apri¬ 
cot shading darker at center with a faint rosy cast 
over all, which is lighter and brighter than Jane 
Cowl, while it is nearer the Semi-Cactus in form. 
Bush growth, stem, form and size are satisfactory. 
Plants, $1.00 
JANE COWL (Downs 84C 86E), Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 
5 Zz ft. This wonderful dahlia has been a success 
wherever grown. Color, a warm buff and old gold, 
blending to apricot and rose at the center. Bush 
growth is ideal with strong stems holding the giant 
flowers upright. A dahlia that is sure to please you 
for it is large and impressive. A. D. S. Certificate.
