GENERAL LIST OF VARIETIES 
I have decided to devote the greater part of my time to seedlings. Accordingly, as 
you will notice on the following list, I am only listing a few other varieties, all of which are 
exceptionally fine varieties. I am not listing some varieties that I have found difficult to 
grow or have "Opera Star Temperaments.” 
AMERICAN PURITY— S. C. Clear, glistening 
white, and a very fine acquisition to dahlia- 
dom. Stem and foliage are perfect. An 
excellent exhibition variety. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART— I. D. Lemon 
yellow of huge size. One of the best exhibi¬ 
tion yellow varieties. Fine stem and bush 
growth. 
Root $2.00 Plant $1.00 
CALIFORNIA IDOL— I. D. A superb light 
yellow and frankly, the best exhibition yellow. 
Very large on fine stems and good foliage. It 
is a shy root maker. 
Root $2.50 Plant $1.25 
DAVID COPPERFIELD— I. D. I liked this 
dahlia very much because of its rich violet 
color. I know of no other dahlia that has 
this color. Very large flowers on fine stems, 
with very thick, heavy foliage. Highly rec¬ 
ommended. 
Root $5.00 Plant $2.50 
GREATER GLORY— S. C. Light pink shading 
to yellow at the center. Very large blooms 
on fine stems and with fine foliage. I would, 
say, without reservation that "Greater Glory” 
was the outstanding dahlia of 1937. 
Plant $5.00

yellow with splendid stem and growth. One 
of the best of this type.
