shading to a sort of salmon gold at the center. Color 
is positive and clear both in and out of doors; size con¬ 
servatively 10 to 12 inches across by 6 inches deep; 
moderate semi-cactus formation perfect, with centers 
always closed and all alike; stem stalks very tall, 
straight and long-jointed; blooms freely both early and 
late; good substance and so lasts well whether growing 
or cut. Was awarded the 1933 Achievement Medal 
at Detroit as the Best Flower in that very fine show, 
which gave us four dahlias that had been Achievement 
Medal winners, namely, Grandee, Satan, Achievement 
and Palo Alto, and now we have California Idol, Cali¬ 
fornia Peacji and Pacific Splendor to add to our Achieve¬ 
ment Medal dahlias. Do not fail to grow this one, as

PANI HANA BENESOVA—Dec. (Foreign) Massive 
beautiful flower, in color blood red suffused flaming red. 
Large flowers freely produced all the season. Stems 
are wiry and strong. This is one of the finest intro¬ 
ductions of Czecho Slovakia. Root.$2.00 
PINK SPIRAL—Inc. Cactus. (Holland) This Holland 
novelty has reached general popularity, and it certainly 
is among the best of the new foreign introductions. The 
color is peach-blossom pink, with a touch of primrose 
at the base and center of flower. The petals have a 
tendency not to incurve, but to form a complete spiral 
arrangement around the center. Root.$2.50 
ROMEO—I. D. (Ballay) Brightest scarlet, a color as ap¬ 
pealing as the red, red rose. The form of the flower also 
is particularly attractive and adds much to its beauty. 
This red is of good size and very satisfactory and a red 
that is different. Certificate at Georgia Trial Gar¬ 
dens. Root.$2.50 
SATAN—S. C. (Ballay) Flaming red with a slight touch 
of gold at the center. We are proud of its record at 
Storrs Trial Gardens and its place on the Roll of Honor, 
and of similar honors won at the World's Fair in Japan, 
at New York, San Francisco, and other shows too 
numerous to mention. Certainly no dahlia is more 
sensational or spectacular than this giant cactus. A 
reliable New York grower reports he grew Satan 16 
inches. Root.$1.00 
SONOMA—I. D. (Ballay) A combination of cream, flesh 
pink and amber rose. A light-colored dahlia of an un¬ 
usual color blend. Will grow large, have good stems, 
and reward with many attractive blooms. One of the 
best and highly recommended. Root.$5.00
