CALIFORNIA PEACH—S. C. Bright coral or peach 
pink, a pink without any trace of lavender; 
reverse of petals a lighter shade. Size and 
formation of this flower are very similar to 
Satan. It is a seedling of Satan crossed with 
Eagle Rock Fantasy and the foliage and gen¬ 
eral habit of growth are much like the latter, 
but having noticeable qualities of both parents. 
A great bloom of Satan of rich glowing pink is 
a dream come true. In 1936 California Peach 
was the great sensation at the Boston Show, 
winning there as the Best Flower in the show, 
the Massachusetts Horticultural Medal as the 
Best New Dahlia, and also the Achievement 
Medal. Winner also as Best Undisseminated 
Semi-cactus at San Francisco. Grown by Dr. 
Landess of Tennessee the following year it 
was the winner in Mr. Reed’s annual contest 
for the largest bloom. We have just received 
some fine reports of its excellent performance 
in Michigan and Oregon the past season. In¬ 
cluded in all the 1936 Rolls of Honor with 
highest recommendations .$3.50 
CALIFORNIA ROSE—I. D. Clear bright rose. Ex¬ 
quisite coloring, large, tall-growing, describe in 
a few words the salient features of this very 
satisfactory and popular dahlia. From the ac¬ 
companying picture you will note that it is a 
dahlia well worthwhile. It has always been a 
particularly beautiful flower for cutting and in 
the 1934 Roll of Honor it was described as the 
best keeper of the year. It is at its best in 
mid-season. Certificate at Storrs.$1.50 
CHARLES G. REED—I. D. Purple red or petunia 
red. Won twice as the Best Bloom in the Show 
at the National Show in London, England. Has 
won similar prizes in many places and was a 
Roll of Honor dahlia in its introductory year. 
It is an unusually large variety held upright 
on a perfect stem. Bush is of rather low 
growth with the branching habit which makes 
it ideal for all purposes. Blooms profusely. 
One of the best.$1.00 
CALIFORNIA ROSE 
CALIFORNIA IDOL 
CHEROKEE^—S. C. Lavender pink with a light center. A positive semi-cactus which in some 
respects might be described as an improved Marion Broomall. The flower is large and deep 
with plenty of petals and the stems are extra long and straight. Since it is an exceptionally 
free bloomer it is invaluable as a cut flower and the color appears to particularly good advan¬ 
tage indoors. Plant does best if allowed to branch early by cutting out the center.$1.50 
CORONADO—I. D. Bright rose magneta. Sturdiness is a major quality of this variety both as to 
the ruggedness of the bloom and the habit of growth. Very large in size and of excellent build 
and texture, it produces magnificent blooms early and freely. A trifle brighter and lighter 
than Wenoka, the flowers are considerably larger but plant growth is not so tall. Formation 
is slightly informal as the picture would indicate. It won as Best Undisseminated Decorative 
at San Francisco and was reported on as being very outstanding in Eastern trials this season. 
There is rugged individuality combined with beauty and productiveness here.$7.50
