Carl Salbach ••• 
Finest Dahlias 
MRS. CARL SALBACH (Salbach). F. D. 
One of the most dependable of all dah¬ 
lias. A sturdy, vigorous grower, full 
of blooms and a fine tuber maker. The 
flowers, which are uniformly symmetri¬ 
cal, are a beautiful orchid shade and 
are born on long stout stems. The 
bushes are stately in the garden. One 
of the “Best Keepers” .40c 
MRS. JAMES ROOSEVELT. S. C. A 
fine large, very showy variety. Color 
excellent — a scarlet-orange, with yel¬ 
low tipped petals. One of the best new 
varieties .$2.50 
MILTON J. CROSS. I. D. Large blooms, 
almost as deep as wide. Fine tall, long 
stems. Described as “apricot peach 
with a bright golden face,” but for 
practical purposes, it should be con¬ 
sidered as a pure yellow.$2.00 
MISS GLORY. S. C. Perfect semi-cac¬ 
tus in form and massive in size. Color 
—deep rich yellow. A free and early 
bloomer with perfect stems — in fact 
has every qualification necessary to 
place it as the finest yellow dahlia 
grown .$2.00 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH. F. D. One of 
the very best reds — best described 
as between red and brick-red. Fine 
habit. Very even, formal shape. $1.50 
PINK SPIRAL. A large flowering cac¬ 
tus that is a very soft pastel shade of 
pink. Most attractive, and a “Best 
Keeper.” One of the best all-around 
dahlias grown.$1.50 
ROLLO BOY. C. An immense flower 
of beautiful form and long straight 
stems. Delicate amber yellow .50c 
SATAN. S. C. This splendid dahlia 
is, we think, one of the most striking 
dahlias in commerce today. Its horn¬ 
shaped petals give it a form that is 
entirely distinct and unusually grace¬ 
ful. Satan is of huge size and its 
color is a brilliant carmine. A Roll of 
Honor Dahlia, and first as best flower 
in both San Francisco dahlia shows, 
1932. A “Best Keeper”.50c

SANHICAN’S CAMEO. F. D. Immense 
flowers of coral rose with glistening 
golden sheen — this outstanding new 
dahlia qualifies as one of the best for 
both show and cutting uses. First as 
largest dahlia at the California Flower 
Festival, 1934, we believe that this 
huge variety can consistently compete 
with even Eagle Rock Fantasy and 
Mrs. Geo. Le Boutillier for size. A 
“Best Keeper”, fine stems, good habits 
and destined for a long period of popu¬ 
larity .75c 
SALBACH’S WHITE (Salbach). F. D. 
A most beautiful large ivory white 
dahlia of perfect form. Full, deep and 
of wonderful substance. A profuse 
bloomer. The peer of all white dah¬ 
lias. Does not burn. One of the 
“Best Keepers”.50c 
SIERRA SUNRISE. F. D. In our opin¬ 
ion, this variety is one of the finest of 
all the Meussdorffer dahlias. The color, 
which is deep autumn-orange, or 
bronzy-orange, is a new shade in dah¬ 
lias, and certainly a welcome one. Its 
color is far richer than that of any 
other orange dahlia grown. Growth is 
excellent, stems long and strong, it is 
a good keeper, and the blooms are 
large .$3.00 
SWEET BRIAR. C. A beautiful rose 
pink cactus. Very free flowering....75c 
SNOW QUEEN. A pure white ball dah¬ 
lia that is of unusually great value for 
florists or ordinary cut-flower uses. 
Blooms of good size — fine stems. A 
“Best Keeper” .50c 
SYDNEY B. MITCHELL (Salbach). F. D. 
A large flower of. dark rose red, al¬ 
most black in the center, shading 
through carmine to Tyrian rose at the 
end of the petals. Fine stems. Bushes 
covered with blooms. A very rich note 
in the garden or in any bouquet....50c 
THE FIREMAN. I. D. Showy cardinal 
red, faintly touched gold. Large blooms 
—fine stems. An Honor Roll and 
Achievement Medal winner .60c 
THOMAS EDISON. F. D. Rich regal 
red-purple, selected personally by Mr. 
Edison to bear his name. Large blooms, 
fine stems, and a very fine keeper....50c 
VALENCIA (Salbach 1939). One of the 
finest cactus dahlias ever grown. Fine 
soft orange coloring that is truly en¬ 
trancing, and a splendid keeper, with 
each bush simply covered with blooms. 
With us, it has one fault — the fact 
that it tends to bloom “down in the 
foliage.” We have found that this fault 
is not present when Valencia is grown 
in warmer climates, and can be avoided 
here, for planting in slight shade ef¬ 
fectively pulls the blooms well out of 
the foliage. A large stock permits us 
to introduce this fine new variety at 
the popular price of.$1.50 
WHITE WONDER. S. C. A very fine 
pure white semi-cactus. Ranks with 
Salbach’s White as one of the best in 
its color, and as one which has not as 
yet, been excelled among the newer 
creations. A “Best Keeper” .75c 
YUKON. F. D. Bright rich red-violet, or 
amythest. A most showy flower. Fine 
form, medium sized flowers and a 
“Best Keeper” .50c
