DAHLIAS. 
FORMAL DECORATIVE 
DAHLIAS—Continued 
AVALON, Bloom 7x3, Bush 5 ft. Clear canary 
yellow. .25 
BUCKEYE BRIDE (Roberts-Peck 82C), Bloom 7 x 
5, Bush 6 ft. This popular flower is still one of the 
favorites. The bush is a tall, rugged grower. It 
is an early and continuous bloomer on long, erect 
stems. Color, a distinctive even shade of salmon 
pink. Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
CAVALCADE (Groll-Dahliadel 85C 85E), Bloom 8 x 
5, Bush SYz ft. In form this dahlia resembles Jer¬ 
sey’s Beauty and its stems and bush growth are al¬ 
most identical. It is, however, larger in diameter 
and two or three shades darker. Fine in the show 
room and for florists’ use as it is a decided change 
from Jersey’s Beauty in a rich, deep rose with tones 
of rosy magenta. Won many prizes and is a good 
root maker. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
ELITE GLORY (Kennedy 83E), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 
4 Yz ft. A dahlia that has had a long run of popu¬ 
larity and is still good. Color, rich red. Blooms 
large, of good form and substance and held erect 
on strong stems. Midseason bloomer. .50 
ELITE SPORT (Dahliadel 84E), Bloom 9x5, Bush 
4 Yz ft* A positive sport of Elite Glory, inheriting 
such good qualities as rugged growth with insect- 
resistant foliage, strong stems, and the bloom an ex¬ 
act counterpart, except in color, which is a soft buff, 
striped and speckled crimson. Sports usually revert 
to the original variety to a more or less degree. 
True to tradition, this sport occasionally reverts or 
throws a solid red bloom with the rest of the bush 
blooming as described above. .50 
GRACE (Bibbs 85C), Bloom 6x2^, Bush 6 ft. This 
dahlia will remind you a lot of Jersey’s Beauty in 
form, not quite as deep a flower, but will give you 
twice as many blooms. It might be called a bloom¬ 
ing fool, from early to late with centers perfectly 
full, stems long and stiff, but not clumsy. Color, 
pure white tipped and suffused lavender. As a cut 
flower it is very profitable. *35 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY (Waite 86C), Bloom 6x4, 
Bush 6 Yz ft. Probably the most popular cut flower 
variety grown. The ideal pink for exhibition or flor¬ 
ists’ use. Large, deep flowers of perfect form on 
long stems. Free, early bloomer, with exceptional 
keeping qualities. Roots, .35; Plants, .35 
JERSEY’S WHITE BEAUTY (Waite 85C), 1936, 
Bloom 6 x 3, Bush 5 ft. A white Jersey’s Beauty 
with wonderful keeping qualities and stem. It is 
quite similar in form with good centers and tight 
petals. Early and free blooming. 
Roots, $2.00; Plants, .75 
KENTUCKY (Castlewood 86C), Bloom 6x4, Bush 
6 Yz ft. This dahlia has the same ideal characteris¬ 
tics as Jersey’s Beauty, of which it is a sport, and 
apparently a stronger grower.. Its color is a tone of 
Jersey’s Beauty pink, with a lot of yellow and gold 
blended in, making it more of a salmon pink. Good 
for cutting. *35 
Haslerova 
HASLEROVA (Svajner 85E), Bloom 8x4, Bush 5 ft. 
A glorified Le Grand Manitou only more refined, 
the ground color being a delicate lavender, almost 
white, flecked French purple. Truly a bi-color and 
should do plenty of winning in this class as there 
are few good ones. Stem, foliage and bush growth 
very satisfactory. Roots, $2.00; Plants, .75 
LUELLA CASS (Hosack’s F. G. 85C), Bloom 7 Yz x 
4, Bush 4 ft. About the brightest and cleanest shade 
of bright rose pink shading to soft rose. A really 
beautiful commercial pink of fine form that is a good 
rugged grower with perfect stems. Plants, .50 
MR. H. C. DRESSELHUYS, Bloom 6 x 2 Yz* Bush 
5 ft. Soft rose pink with lighter shadings. .25 
OLD HICKORY (Dahliadel 83E), Bloom 7x5, Bush 
3 Yz ft- The dahlia that is easy to grow. A rough- 
and-ready, rugged plant, semi-dwarf with each 
branch bearing a large bloom which is almost a ball 
with centers always full. Stems are ideal for bas¬ 
ket arrangement. Color, madder red with apricot 
suffusion. .50 
PHANTOM (Berger 85E), Bloom 9x5, Bush 5 ft. 
Long broad petals of deep violet purple with distinct 
white tips. Good bi-colors are few and far between 
and this one fits into many gardens and show room 
classes. Bush is vigorous and stems are strong. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
THE WORLD (Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 9 x 4 |/ 2 , Bush 
5 ft. The coloring is an unusually rich, deep, rosy 
magenta, overlaid garnet, with silver shadings on 
edges of petals. Perfect, full centers. Stems are 
strong and erect. Foliage is thick and leathery. 
A good sturdy grower. This dahlia has good sub¬ 
stance, but does its best in cool weather, when the 
color will be as described. .50
