WATCHUNG GIANT—I. D. (Smith). This is truly a giant 
among giants, and we believe it is the most outstanding dah- 
1 a of the 1937 introductions. It was a contender for the 
Achievement medal in the 1936 A. D. S. show in New York 
City, and in the opinion of almost every well informed dah- 
liast present, it was by far the best dahlia in the class and 
should have been awarded the Achievement Medal. That it 
did not receive this distinguished honor brought down on the 
heads of the judges the indignation of the on-lookers, as all 
felt a great injustice had been done to' a great dahlia. 
This giant is a beautiful light definite (yellow, with warm 
suffusion of rose, and notwithstanding its great size it is 
without coarseness as is often the case with large flow¬ 
ered dahlias. The plant is very sturdy, and foliage, stem 
and habit excellent. 
Roots, each $4.00; Plants, each $2.00, 3 for $4.00 
AMERICAN PURITY—S. C. (Am. Dahlia Farms). This ideal 
semi-cactus pure white dahlia was introduced in the spring 
of 1937 and wherever it was grown last season it made hosts 
of friends. It is immense in size and has wonderful sub¬ 
stance and keeping qualities for such a large flower. Has 
many first prizes to its credit, as well as the Achievement 
medal for the best and largest bloom in the show. (Plant 
attains to a height of 5 feet and is quite prolific of large per¬ 
fect blooms. We know of no other white quite equal to it 
in its type.

LORD OF AUTUMN—I. D. (Almy-Kemp). After four years con¬ 
tests in shows all over the country this great dahlia con¬ 
tinues to hold its place in the ranks of the super dahlia 
parade. Its beautiful golden yellow color, together with its 
immense size and good keeping qualities places it in the 
front ranks as a superior exhibition variety. It is rated as 
one of the largest and most spectacular dahlias in com¬ 
merce, and it has won more awards than any other yellow 
dahlia we know of. Its blooms have been grown up to 12 
inches wide by 7-8 inches in depth, and a well grown flower

the flower well above the top leaves. Plant grows about
