GRANDEE 
FAIR ELAINEi—S. C. Delicate old rose. An extra good variety with long evenly rolled incurved 
petals. Without heavy disbudding it will produce great quantities of good flowers until the 
very end of the season. Excellent lasting qualities when cut. Roll of Honor Dahlia in 1929 $1.00 
FLORENTINE—F. D. Bright mallow purple. From the thousands of seedlings we grow we have 
ample opportunity to study the dahlia in its many phases from a standpoint of real progress. 
Many new colors appear but the problem is to get the outstanding colors in flowers that show 
equal advancement in other respects. Good purple shades are not plentiful and we thought 
the color of this dahlia especially worthwhile. The huge flower presents a striking contrast 
alongside dahlias of colors more frequently seen. Certificate at Georgia Trial Gardens. .. .$1.50 
FULL MOON—I. D. Canary yellow. The large distinctive blooms are regularly formed of very 
broad flat petals that terminate in a perfectly full and artistic center. The thickness and 
strength of the stems are particularly noticeable and the flowers are always upright, never 
facing the least bit to the side. In its first year this dahlia made a good start in the East, win¬ 
ning the Gold Medal of the Dahlia Society of California as the best dahlia of California origin, 
and was also the largest flower in the show, at Boston. It has since won many prizes as Best 
Yellow, and in some cases as Best Bloom in the show. Roll of Honor dahlia in 1932. .. .$1.00 
GALA CALIFORNIA—Inc. Cac. Scarlet orange. A true cactus with an erect stem that holds the 
flower at just the right angle, a quality not present in all cactus varieties. It will also grow 
and develop to perfection in a warm climate where so many cactus varieties fail. Color is 
extra good, and blooming profusely as it does, is unexcelled for all purposes. Blooms are 
large for this type as may be noted from the back cover picture. Last year six blooms won 
the Gold Medal at the San Francisco Show as the Best Established 3-year old. Gala California 
also headed the list of the 1937 “Dahlia Champions of the West”, prepared by Mr. Edward 
Salbach for “Homes in the West”, and was also included in the 1937 Roll of Honor in Flower
