Stems are very essential to good dahlias. Our intro¬ 
ductions will have good stems or will not be intro¬ 
duced. 
CHEROKEE BRAVE, I.D. (Ricks)—A glowing 
red from way down in Georgia where only a 
good dahlia can survive. This big fellow has 
all the quality of a champion. In its home 
state it does not burn or fade. Blooms aver¬ 
age over ten inches and half as deep. Stems 
are long and graceful holding the blooms in 
perfect position. The general color is deep 
carmine with still a deeper center. Splendid 
foliage and a good propagator. If you like the 
big red ones here is a bargain. Originator’s 
stock. Strong roots, $5.00. Plants . $2.00 
MARGIE PARRELLA, F.D. (Maxwell-Parrella- 
Hulin)—We had the pleasure of growing this 
lovely white dahlia the past season and found 
it all the introducer claims for it. With us the 
bushes grew about 5 feet and was a very free 
bloomer. The flowers average 7 to 8 inches on 
dandy long stiff stems. A Blue Ribbon winner 
at New York and on the late Honor Rolls. An¬ 
other fine feature about this dahlia it produces 
roots that are a pleasure to handle, no thin 
necks to break and are very easily separated. 
A real fine white. Roots $10.00. Plants.$3.50 
CHAMBERLAIN, S.C. (Holland) — This variety 
comes very highly recommended. It has won 
a certificate of merit both at Haarlem and 
Paris where it was shown up to 12 inches with 
a depth of 6 to 7 inches. The color is most deli¬ 
cate, a combination of deep salmon with soft 
rose shadings changing into violet. Long stiff 
stems make this variety ideal for cutting and 
exhibition. A fine keeper and is reported to 
open up after being cut. Plants only . $2.50 
LADY ALICE, Cac. (England) — This is claimed 
to be the masterpiece of all English cactus vari¬ 
eties. The blooms are extra large and made up 
of numerous narrow incurved petals, sharp to 
points. The general color is light lemon but 
nearly white at the tips. The average height is 
five feet. Wonderful exhibition novelty. Plants . $2.50 
To have and to hold a bloom of Freda George is 
real pleasure in growing dahlias. 
DORIS ARLEEN has been held over for another 
season. 
KENTUCKY SUN is a dandy yellow. Large blooms 
and plenty. 
We use Carstens NuLife, a balanced dahlia food — 
3-10-7. 
A top dressing of manure in the late fall, turned un¬ 
der in the spring is very beneficial.
