DAHLIAS (Continued) 
GLADYS SHERWOOD—(Colossal Cactus)—Marvelous blooms over 10 inches in 
diameter. Snow white. Profuse blooming. 
GOLDEN GOBLIN—(Decorative)—A grand, large flowered variety of rich old gold 
color. One of the best for exhibition purposes and garden display. 
HILLCREST MANDARIN—(Decorative)—One of the most distinctly beautiful of all 
dahlias. A blending of red and gold that creates interest wherever grown. 
JANE COWL—(Decorative)—No Dahlia has ever been in such great demand. Ideal 
bush—fairly tall, with vigorous dark green, leather-thick foliage, straight and 
strong yet not clumsy; monster blooms of glistening bronzy buff and salmon shades. 
Jane Cowl is held on the stem just as it should be—looking at you and slightly up. 
The flowers are immense, of the full petaled decorative type, with just enough twist 
to the broad petals to add the touch of refinement. It has been called the world’s 
“most perfect Dahlia” . 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY—(Decorative)—The one most beautiful pure pink dahlia. No 
other variety can compare with it in perfect form, gorgeous color, stiff stems and 
keeping quality. Highest rating of any dahlia by American Dahlia Society. 
KATHLEEN NORRIS—(Decorative)—A bloom of gigantic proportions. True rose- 
pink in color later deepening to mallow pink. It was awarded first prize as the best 
flower in four great Eastern shows in addition to innumerable other awards as an 
undisseminated seedling. We cannot recommend Kathleen Norris too highly. 
KEMP’S VIOLET WONDER—(Decorative)—The best violet colored Dahlia to date. 
The predominating color of this great Dahlia is a rich naphthaline violet, with an 
underlying tone of royal purple, with bluish lavender reverse. Flowers are nearly 
as perfect in form as possible; of true decorative type, and of massive proportions, 
attaining to a diameter of ten inches and over, and to a depth of six to seven inches. 
The flowers are borne on stiff stems, ten to fourteen inches above the foliage. The 
variety has wonderful keeping qualities. One of the most outstanding Dahlias yet 
introduced . 
KISS ME—(Cactus)—The most unusual and strikingly different dahlia in existence. 
Free-blooming, long stemmed, flowers of red and white. Fine for cutting. 
POLAR BEAR—(Decorative)—Here is the fine white cut flower variety that is so 
popular. Flowers of pure white. Stems sturdy and long. 
i 
PRIDE OF CALIFORNIA—(Decorative)—Huge flowers of crimson red with dark 
full center. Excellent for cutting. Remarkable keeping quality. You’ll admire this 
dahlia .... 
SAGAMORE—(Decorative)—The leading cut flower yellow Dahlia. Is undoubtedly 
one of the finest golden yellows; the flowers are held on strong stems over a robust 
plant. Of great substance and excellent keeping qualities . 
SPRINGFIELD—(Cactus):—A Dahlia of our own introduction. It is identical with 
Countess of Lonsdale except in two essentials. It has a darker stem and the flowers 
instead of being a salmon-pink as in Lonsdale, in Springfield are a rich amaranthine 
red. Its beauty cannot be described. No Dahlia blooms freer, no Dahlia is a pretty 
as Springfield. It lasts longer than any other Dahlia we know.
