FORMAL DECORATIVE 
dahlias—C ontinued 
BALLEGO’S GLORY (Ballego 83C), Bloom 6 1/2 x 4, 
Bush 3j4 ft. A much admired variety for its dis¬ 
tinctive color, which is mahogany red with gold 
bordered petals. The shadings vary with weather 
conditions. Bush, medium height of rather com- 
pact growth. Early in bloom and good to the last. 
Roots, .35 
DAHLIADEL GOLD (Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 11 x 5, 
Bush 41/^ ft. This dahlia grows large and massive 
naturally, and should not be heavily fed or over¬ 
watered as the flower is so heavy it may tip on its 
stem. However, when grown properly with plenty 
of phosphorus and potash, and the nitrogen with¬ 
held, it produces perfect exhibition blooms on good 
stems held well out of the foliage. Bush growth is 
robust with dark, leathery foliage. Flowers are 
beautiful in form and a pleasing color, deep golden 
yellow, suffused light coral red with darker shadings 
at center. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
DARCY SAINSBURY (Australia 86E), Bloom 9x4, 
Bush 5 ft. This fine white or creamy white first at¬ 
tracted our attention in Richmond, Va., for a dahlia 
that stands the sun and heat at Richmond should 
be as good or better where weather is more favor¬ 
able for dahlias. A fine white Formal inclined to 
the Informal but stems are strong and foliage well 
proportioned and rugged. Does well from plants 
or roots. Roots, |1.50; Pot Roots, 1.00; Plants, .50 
GRAF ZEPPELIN (Nolet 85C), Bloom 7'/^ x 4, 
Bush 7 ft. This dahlia will stand out as a sentinel 
in your garden as it is one of the strongest and tall¬ 
est growing dahlias we offer with the exception of 
Jack’s Bean Stalk. The large white flowers are 
regular in formation with centers full. Stems are 
very long and erect. Roots, .35 
JACK’S BEAN STALK (Dahliadel), Bloom 6x5, 
Bush 10 ft. This freak reminds one of Jersey’s 
Beauty in form and color as it is a bright, pure rose 
pink. Blooms complete back to stem even more 
than Jersey’s Beauty, making a ball. If you have 
a building you wish to screen or if you want to 
cut your blooms from a second story window, this 
dahlia can easily be grown 10 ft. and probably more 
with a little extra feeding. Roots, .35 
KENTUCKY SUN (Whites 84C), Bloom 7x5, Bush 
5 ft. Although we have other yellow Formal Dec¬ 
orative dahlias this variety just seems to grow 
and produce quantities of large uniform blooms on 
strong stems well above the glossy green foliage. 
Withstands a lot of adverse conditions. Clear lem¬ 
on. American Home Achievement Medal, Louis¬ 
ville, Ky. 
Roots, .75; Pot Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
LUELLA CASS (Hosack 84C), Bloom 7 i/^ x 4, Bush 
4 ft. About the brightest and cleanest shade of 
bright rose pink shading to soft rose. A really 
beautiful commercial pink of fine form that is a 
good rugged grower with perfect stems. 
Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
Democracy 
DEMOCRACY (Wiegand-Dahliadel 85E), Bloom 9 x 
6, Bush 4 ft. This variety resembles huge chrysan¬ 
themums at a little distance. The lateral blooms 
face the side and might be called yellow Jersey’s 
Beauties as they are a deep primrose yellow shaded 
golden yellow. This variety can be grown for exhi¬ 
bition on the central branches of the bush and as 
a cut flower on the side or lateral branches. Strong, 
straight stems, full centers, healthy foliage, early 
and profuse bloomer. Certified at Storrs. 
Roots, .50 
MARYLAND GLORY (Maryland 85E), Bloom 9 x 
5, Bush 4 ft. A most satisfactory bloomer from 
early to late. Perfect blooms of Tyrian rose shaded 
crimson carmine are borne in profusion on good 
stems. An unusually distinctive color and popular 
variety. A fine strong grower. 
Roots, .35; Pot Roots, .35 
MONA GOLD (Parker Hume 82E), Bloom 9x6, 
Bush 5 ft. Apricot yellow lightly suffused soft 
peach red with a general appearance of old gold. 
This variety holds a wonderful form from early in 
the season until late. Roots, .50
