coral, with petals curved and twisted gracefully. Blooms

cut flowers. The plant is a strong, tall grower. 
ADIRONDACK SUNSET. (ID) 
Plants $1.00, Roots $2.00 
(Cackener-Parkway) A 1935 introduction of real merit. A 
gorgeous scarlet red, tipped with gold, with a gold reverse, 
and blending to canary yellow at the center. The petals on 
this flower also wave and twist, showing the alternate 
colors to good advantage. Blooms are of very good size, on 
long straight stems, making a very showy garden flower, 
and a good cut flower. 
AIKO. (SC).Roots 60c 
(Dahliadel) A very spectacular dahlia, which frequently 
blooms from 12 to 13 inches in diameter. It is a deep car¬ 
mine or cardinal in color, with a reverse of silver, and silver 
showing at the flower center and tips of petals. The bush 
is medium high, a strong grower, with good stems, and 
makes a marvelous show flower. 
ALICE WHITTIER. (SC) - Roots 25c 
(Success) One of the older varieties that has remained very 
popular. A clear primrose yellow flower, on good stems. 
AMERICAN TRIUMPH. (C) - Roots 35c 
(Nuneviller) A beautiful bright, clear, oriental red, with 
spiky petals which tend to turn inward towards a high, full 
center, giving a pin-cushion effect that is very pleasing. 
Good strong stems, and an exceptional keeping quality make 
it not only attractive in the garden, but a good cut flower. 
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART. (ID)

every prize available to yellow classes. It is a pale, gentle 
shade of lemon yellow, with petal ends double serrated, 
curved and twisted very artistically. Bloom is huge, with 
good stems, and will creat a sensation in any garden or vase. 
ANDREAS ERICSON. (ID) - Roots .50e 
(F. & M.) Perhaps the best of the moderately priced whites, 
with broad, oval petals with pointed, twisted tips. Flower 
has a fluffy appearance, which makes it striking. The soft, 
lovely blooms are good cut flowers, of exhibition type. 
ANDREAS HOFER. (ID) - - Roots 20c 
(Holland) Another of the older favorites. A delicate pink, 
with a creamy base that sometimes prevails over the pink. 
Long wiry stems and good keeping qualities make it a good 
cut flower, and profuse and artistic blooms make it a good 
garden variety.

Plants 75c, Roots $1.50 
(Benedict-Dahliadel) A rich, deep garnet red, with black 
shadings and shadows toward the center of the bloom. It

stand the sun. One of the choicest of the darker varieties, 
and is sure to please. 
AMUN RA. (FD).Roots 20c 
(Seal) This dahlia is one of the oldest favorites we have yet 
on the list, and is still a remarkable seller, proving it to be 
of exceptional quality. An autumn shade of deep tan, and 
keeping qualities that make it a good all-around plant.

graceful stems. The flower is almost of a cactus type, and 
proves very outstanding. Last year we were unable to fill 
all orders of this beautiful flower, but have a little larger 
stock this year. 
BUCKEYE BRIDE. (FD) - - Roots 50c 
(Roberts-Peck) A lovely geranium pink, shading to salmon, 
that is still a popular favorite. A tall rugged grower, 
blooming early, and continuing late, on long, stiff stems. If 
picked just before the outer petals flare back towards the 
stem, it is a marvelous keeper for cut flowers.

(Roberts-Peck) A clear, glowing amber yellow, on long 
straight stems that hold the bloom at a very advantageous 
angle. Blooms are of very good size and depth, and bush is
