IN THE SMALL VARIETIES WE ARE OFFERING THE 
FOLLOWING WHICH ARE VERY GOOD 
CORAL (Pom.)—Color, Soft coral shading to salmon. This little pom. has every 
good quality that a pom. should have, outstanding blooms of about an inch 
and a half in diameter, good stem, and a fine foliage. A free and prolific 
bloomer. Coral received First as best pom. at the Dahlia Society of Cali¬ 
fornia this past season, and this was well deserved. Root $2.00 
LITTLE NELL (Pom.) (Galloway - Parrella) A lovely pom. with pink orchid 
shadings. Size of bloom a little over an inch. A perfect pom. for Show pur¬ 
poses. We had the pleasure of growing this dahlia at our Gardens, and it 
sure was a beauty. Much admired by the visitors. Roots $2.00 
LITTLE COLONEL (Min. S. C. Galloway-Parrella)—Size 3" to 3y 2 ", bush 36". 
Color, soft pink with primrose center. This miniature is a clean, exception¬ 
ally vigorous grower with durable, attractive foliage, stems as long as you 
want them and straight and stiff as an arrow. The blooms usually come 
at an angle of 45 degrees with never an open center. As a cut flower, it is 
an exceptionally good keeper. Among comments by visitors was “Improved 
Baby Royal.” The most outstanding entry at Storr’s writes a grower from 
Rhode Island. Exhibited only at Cincinnati in 1938 where it won First in 
the undisseminated miniature class. Awarded “Certificate of Merit” at the 
A. D. S. Trial Gardens at Cincinnati with a score of 85. 
Root $3.00 Plants $1.00 
CHERUB (Hulin-Parrella)—A new formal decorative miniature of a deep pink 
throughout. The center is a shade deeper than the rest and is so artistically 
formed that every petal radiates a glowing warmth, drawing your attention 
from a distance. As you approach this little beauty you will be charmed 
with the lovely texture and symmetry of the flower. The bush is medium 
tall and always covered with bloom from July till frost. The quality of the 
bloom is such that the centers are tight, keeping extra well when cut. Stems 
are ideal and plenty long. A long row of this never failed to attract and 
receive favorable comments from all visitors. It is truly a little “Classic” 
and you, too, will enjoy growing it. Fairly large stock permits us to offer 
it at a price that all can afford. Delivery any time you wish. 
Strong Roots $1.50 each - 3 for $3.50 Net 
COLLEEN (F. D.) (Blamer - Parrella) Color, Pure white delicately striped
