tinue throughout the season. A good plant, proLisely flow¬ 
ered, cutting well. 
FRAU O’BRACHT. (SC) - - Roots $1.00 
(Berger) Another of the prize winners, of good form and 
keeping qualities. Clear light primrose yellow in color, very 
dainty. About the prettiest cactus yet developed, making an 
excellent display in either the garden or the house, and 
keeping well when cut. 
FORT MONMOUTH. (ID) - - Roots 50c 
(Kemp) A rich, dark claret maroon, of a brightness un¬ 
usual in the darker shades. Extra large blooms are borne on 
long, strong stems on a tall bush. A prolific bloomer, a 
good cut flower, and an old one that is still winning prizes. 
Very popular. 
FULL MOON. (FD) - - - - Roots 75c 
(Ballay-Success) Great blooms of canary yellow, with large 
petals and a full, high center. Another of the big prize win¬ 
ners that we have found very satisfactory.

early and continuously, producing fine blooms, with good 
stems, throughout the season. Another unfailing satisfier. 
GOLDEN SONNE. (C) - - - Roots 40c 
(DeWilde) Perhaps the best commercial cactus known. A 
clear golden yellow, shading to salmon rose on the outside 
petals. Starts blooming early and produces a good cut- 
flower throughout the season. To those who were disap¬ 
pointed last season we have a much larger stock this year, 
but order early for safety. 
GOLDEN STANDARD. (C) 
Plants 75c, Roots $1.50 
(Downs) A warm buff, shaded amber and gold. Full cen¬ 
ters, with evenly arranged petals, the blooms being held 
well on good stems. It is a consistent prize winner, and a 
good all-around flower. Cuts well, and makes attractive 
bouquets, as the blooms face at right angles from the stem.

(Nolet) Large white flower, on the tallest bush we know, 
frequently reaching seven feet. Long erect stems. 
HONOR BRIGHT. (FD) - - - Roots 75c

stems, being spectacular in the garden, and keeping for 
days when cut. 
H. R. S. (ID).Roots 95c 
(Seal) Very artistic blooms with long wavy petals, and full 
centers. A beautiful golden yellow, on a nice bush. Stems 
are long, and a little slender, but it cuts well, and the gor¬ 
geous blooms do certainly set off any stand where they may 
be placed as a bouquet. 
HUNTS VELVET WONDER. (ID) 
Plants 75c, Roots $1.2.5 
(Hunt-Burnett) An exceptionally monstrous bloom, fre¬ 
quently reaching 15 inches in diameter. A deep rose ma¬ 
genta, blending to a royal purple. Petals are broad, and the 
flower is full centered, emphasizing the already huge pro¬ 
portions. This flower has won many of the really big prizes 
and is truly one of the best of the exhibition types. 
IDA PERKINS. (FD) . - - Roots .35c 
(Montrose) A good white dahlia that has well deserved a 
long popularity. A good cut flower, which blooms early and 
continuously on a strong bush of medium height. Dark 
leathery foliage sets off the pure white of the bloom to 
good advantage. 
INDIANA MOON. (ID) - . Roots 50c 
(Martin) A richly colored flower of soft cadmium orange, 
with lines and suffusion of carmine that is very effective. 
A robust grower, with long, strong stems, and a very satis¬ 
factory all-purpose flower. 
JANE COWL. (ID) .... Roots 2.5c 
(Downs) A warm buff and old gold, blending to apricot and 
rose at the center. Giant blooms held upright on strong 
stems. This dahlia has certainly deserved the long period

exhibition blooms, and very attractive in the garden. 
JANET SOUTHWICK. (ID) - Roots .50c 
(Chapman) Deep tyrian rose with a glistening ttverall sh''en 
of lighter rose. A tall thrifty plant with good stems, that 
is strongly recommended.

petals that curve and twist gracefully. A tall grower, with 
good stems. An excellent exhibition dahlia, and a good cut 
flower. 
JEWEL OF INDIA. (ID) - - Roots 75c 
(Newsome) A rich, glowing scarlet, overcast with maroon. 
The flowers of this lovely dahlia are very fluffy, with the 
petals shaggily curling and twisted. Blooms are held 
proudly erect on excellently stiff straight stems. A gorge¬ 
ous exhibition bloom, making a very good cut flower, that 
keeps well. 
JERSEY’S BEACON. (FD) - Roots 20c 
(Waite) Has long been one of the most popular favorites. 
Chinese red, with a buff reflex that gives it a two-tone 
effect. Large flowers on good sturdy stems. 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY. (FD) - Roots 25c

known. A beautiful exhibition pink, which is especially in

blooming on long stiff stems. 
JERSEY’S DAINTY. (C) 
Plants 75c, Roots $1.25

famous Jersey line of winners. This is a very dainty flower, 
white, faintly tinged with glisteny lavender. It blooms pro¬ 
fusely, has good strong stems, and is very good for cutting. 
The foliage is dark. Popular with florists, as it is a very 
good exhibition type dahlia. 
JERSEY’S RADIANCE. (SC) - Roots 25c 
(Waite) Bittersweet orange flowers on good stems. An¬ 
other excellent cutting flower, and good in the garden. 
JERSEY’S IDEAL. (ID) - - Roots 25c 
(Waite) Deep lavender pink, medium large flowers. Very 
attractive on long stiff stems. 
JIMMIE FOXX. (ID) Plants $5, Roots $10 
(Johnson) An outstanding 1937 introduction of monstrous 
size that was listed on every honor roll last season. Coppery- 
red, tinged with henna that gives a most unusual effect. 
This flower, despite its recent introduction, has already won 
a formidable list of the really big prizes. Our supply of 
roots and plants will be rather limited, but those ordering 
early will get a flower that defies commensurate descrip¬ 
tion, but that will surely gratify the most discriminating 
dahlia lover. 
JOSEPHINE G. (SC-ID) - - Roots 30c 
(Grosscross) A bright, pleasing, true rose pink, with some 
of the petals tipped a pale yellow. A profuse blossomer, 
holding them well out from the bush. Semi-cactus at start 
of season, changing to informal decorative as the season 
advances. 
JUDGE LEON McCORD. (FD) - Roots 30c 
(Boston) Deep shade of old gold, with reverse of old rose. 
A remarkable dahlia with enormous flower. Blooms both 
early and late.

(Newson) Softest pastel shadings of lavender, heavily 
striped and shaded with pink. 
KATHLEEN NORRIS. (ID) - Roots 35c 
(F. & M.) This famous old flower is perhaps the best of the 
pinks. Comes into its best the latter part of the season, but 
is remarkably pretty at all times. A gorgeous, true rose 
pink, lightening just a little at the center. Long, strong 
stems on a medium bush, flowers held well out. 
One <)f (he best crops in years, coupled with tlie desire to s])read the beauties of our 
fully, leads to the liberal quantity advantaf»es on page 4.
