CALIFORNIA PEACH— S. C. Bright coral 
or peach pink, a pink without any 
trace of lavender; reverse of petals 
a lighter shade. Size and forma¬ 
tion of this flower are very similar 
to Satan. It is a seedling of Satan 
crossed with Eagle Rock Fantasy 
and the foliage and general habit 
of growth are much like the latter, 
but having noticeable qualities of 
both parents. In 1936 California 
Peach was the great sensation at 
the Boston Show, winning there as 
the Best Flower in the show, the 
Best New Dahlia, and also the 
Achievement Medal. Winner also 
as Best Undisseminated Semi-cac¬ 
tus at San Francisco. Grown by 
Dr. Landess of Tennessee the fol¬ 
lowing year it was the winner in 
Mr. Reed's annual contest for the 
largest bloom. We have received 
some fine reports of its excellent 
performance the past season. $2.00 
CALIFORNIA PEACH 
CALIFORNIA ROSE —I. D. Clear bright rose. Exquisite coloring, large, tall-growing, describe in a few words 
the salient features of this very satisfactory and popular dahlia. From the picture (page 8) you will 
note that it is a dahlia well worthwhile. It has always been a particularly beautiful flower for cutting 
and in the 1934 Roll of Honor it was described as the best keeper of the year. Certificate at Storrs. . .$ 1.00 
CHARLES G. REED— I. D. Purple red or petunia red. Won twice as the Best Bloom in the Show at the National 
Show in London, England. Has won similar prizes in many places and was a Roll of Honor dahlia in its 
introductory year. It is a large variety held upright on a perfect stem. Bush is of rather low growth with 
the branching habit which makes it ideal for all purposes. Blooms profusely. $ 1.00 
CORONADO —I. D. Bright rose magenta. Sturdiness is a major quality of this variety both as to the ruggedness 
of the bloom and the habit of growth. Very large in size and of excellent build and texture, it produces 
magnificent blooms early and freely. A trifle brighter and lighter than Wenoka, the flowers are consid¬ 
erably larger but plant growth is not so tall. Formation is slightly informal as the picture would indicate. 
It won as Best Undisseminated Decorative at San Francisco and was reported on as being very outstand¬ 
ing in Eastern trials. (See illustration on page 7). $ 3 . 50 ' 
DON JUAN —Semi-Cac. Scarlet orange with a reverse of lighter orange. This is one of the truly spectacular 
varieties. If you have a crown flower of Don Juan for the show you will be hard to beat. This variety is 
a true semi-cactus with the center rows of petals rather broad and spreading but with the outer rows 
decidedly rolled and well incurved. Color is just about as bright as it is possible for a color to be. .$ 1.50 
DRESDEN —I. D. Clear pink lavender. Here good color is very much in evidence. The lavender is plainly of 
the rich pink tone throughout the flower and is in no sense a bluish lavender. This rich coloring is well 
supported by large size, full formation and a matchless stem. No visitor ever fails to inquire about this 
one, always remarking that it is exquisite. Blooms with exceptional freedom. Scored 88 at Ohio Trial 
Gardens. $1.00
