The Governor (Formal Decorative) 
THE GOVERNOR (Berwick-Dahliadel 86E), 1940 Bloom 11 x 6, Bush 5 '/2 ft. A bright sulphur yellow of 
true formal decorative type. Bushes are sturdy, just seem to grow themselves and insects shy away from 
it. The flower is of unusual form, with the long, wide petals rolling back toward the stem, which gives 
it added individuality. As soon as it becomes disseminated The Governor is bound to dominate the 
formal yellow class. It has long, erect stems holding the flowers in an ideal position. It easily grows 11 
X 6 inches with heavy petals of good substance. Comes in bloom the middle of July and blooms con¬ 
tinuously until frost, standing August heat with ease. During the 1939 season won 14 Blue Ribbons in lead¬ 
ing Eastern shows. Named in honor of Governor Herbert O’Conor of Maryland. We feel that this dahlia 
has the personality^ to make it popular for many years. So that more of our customers may have 
an earlier opportunity to enjoy this introduction we are pricing it considerably below its actual value. 
Roots, $7.50; Plants, $2.50
