ones. 
Greater Glory (C.) "Salem ’ — 1937. Bloom 11x6, bush, 
7 feet. One of the big ones in this class; especially 
recommended to us as a tall vigorous plant, with very 
long, strong stems; a beautiful rose pink flower, of 
very artistic formation. Winner of eleven first prizes 
in the leading shows. Also has an A. D. S. Medal.

Haslerova (I.D.) "Svajner”—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 extra good. 
Nothing like it._Root 1.00; Plant .50 
HILLSIDE SUNSET (I.D.) "Bissell” 1939—Bloom 
12x7, bush 5 ft. The color is gold and bronze with 
each petal edged with rose red, none of the edging 
extending over on to the face of the petal. Awarded 
a Certificate of Merit, from East Lansing and Fair¬ 
mont, W. Va., also the Achievement Medal at 
Cleveland, and A. D. S. Medal for the largest and 
best bloom. Long stiff stems. Another giant. . Plant 5.00 
Hunt’s Velvet Wonder (I. D.) 1935 "Hunt-Burnett Bros”— 
Bloom 10x6, Bush 514 ft. This variety was given an Ameri¬ 
can Home Achievement Medal in New York and won in 
Camden as the best Informal Decorative Seedling, arousing 
much interest. The attractive broad petaled blooms are huge 
and have good, full centers and great depth. The flowers of 
deep rosy magenta blending into a true purple are well pro¬ 
portioned with a large, dark green foliage-Root .75

5 V 2 ft. Color, rich rosy buff suffused yellow light

outside of petals. High centered well formed flowers. 
Blooms in great profusion. The huge blooms are held 
facing sideways on cane-like stems, well above the 
foliage. The plant is an open grower with insect resist¬ 
ing foliage. Incidentally, this dahlia scored 85 at the 
East Lansing Trial Grounds in 1936-Root 1.25 
Jane Cowl (I.D.) "Downs”—Bloom 10x6, Bush 5 Vi ft. Im¬ 
mense blooms, deep and full of glistening bronze buff. The 
stems are long and stiff and straight; and they hold the flower 
just as it should be held—looking at you and slightly up. 
The bush is fairly tall, with vigorous, thick, dark green foliage. 
No Dahlia has given more universal satisfaction than Jane 
Cowl, and no other has won so many prizes since it was intro¬ 
duced in 1928_Root .2^ 
Jean Paturet (C.) "France”—A large flower held on 
ideal long stems well above the plants. It has fine 
petals which give the flower the appearance of a mum. 
Color brilliant yellow self. The bloom has good depth 
and lasts a long time when cut. Extra good-Plant .75
