OTHER DAHLIAS OF OUR OWN CREATION 
ALICE GENTLE—Outstanding in New York Botanical 
Gardens and wherever grown. A magnificent, striking, fiery, 
flaming rich scarlet red. F. Dec. of large size and great depth. 
The color is positively dazzling, it is so rich and bright. Con¬ 
tinuous Prize Winner in all the shows. A marvelous addition 
to a garden. Strong bushes, blooms having 3 foot stems that 
are held well above the foliage. Derrill Hart said, "Alice 
Gentle was really magnificent in my garden.’’ Root, $1.50 
ALICE MEUSSDORFFER—I.D. This large refined and 
exquisitely beautiful dahlia is universally admired in the East 
as well as the West. Dr. Howe, late Director of the New York 
Botanical Gardens, wrote me of its great beauty and how 
universally it was admired there. The color is a clear pinkish 
orchid, with a velvety texture; flowers often measure 10 in. 
and over, and are held perfectly erect on long wiry, straight 
stiff stems above the attractive lace-like foliage. Very prolific 
bloomers, and the tall bushes are masses of glorious blooms 
and are most attractive in the garden. Roots, $1.00 
ELIZABETH RETHBERG—A Derrill Hart Champion and 
Great Prize Winner. Has Best Dahlia to its credit in several 
shows. Won again this year for Best California Dahlia, 12 
Blooms, One Variety. Winner of City and County of San 
Francisco Prize. Winner in East and Middle West. 
Giant I.D. A mag¬ 
nificent, flawless, 
clear, exquisite pink 
dahlia of great depth 
which we have 
grown to 14 inches. 
It is so full when 
matured that the 
petals entirely cover 
the stem at the back; 
it stands heat well, 
does not fade in 
spite of its exquisite 
coloring, and blooms 
continuously, hold¬ 
ing its great blooms 
well up out of the 
tall bush on long 
strong stiff stems. 
A wonderful keeper 
when cut. It is named 
for the beautiful, peerless, world-renowned Grand Opera Star 
of the Metropolitan Opera House of New York. Mr. Derrill 
Hart said of it: "One of the outstanding dahlias at the New 
York Botanical Gardens, and I believe the best dahlia this 
originator has sent East.’’ Our stock of it is unpropagated. 
Roots, $2.50

yellow color with a greenish tinge. A splendid clean looking 
flower with very strong straight stiff stems, on medium tall 
bushes, pest resistant foliage, prolific bloomers and excellent 
keepers and very popular. Fine large blooms never showing 
center until the end of the season. Roots, $5.00
