OUR 1940 INTRODUCTIONS 
JANE LANKTREE 
A glorious very large Semi Cactus Dahlia of an 
exquisitely beautiful shade of clear pink, similar to 
the color of our lovely “Claire Mortimer.” 
It was universally admired at the San Francisco 
World’s Fair. The bloom in the above picture was the 
last one of the season, photographed November 1st, 
and it measured 10j4 inches in diameter; earlier 
blooms were much larger. Strong bush growth about 
5 feet tall, attractive lace-like foliage, which is insect 
resistant and blooms are held erect on long strong 
stems. It bloomed too early to enter into competition 
in our two Shows. i , Roots, $15.00 
“GOEPNER” 
This giant bluish fuchsia color with silvery lavender 
reverse Formal Decorative Dahlia is a seedling of 
Kaweah. As flower unfolds, each petal is edged with 
silver. Bushes are medium tall, blooms 12-14 inches 
are common on excellent stems. It was greatly ad¬ 
mired in the Flail of Flowers at the San Francisco 
World’s Fair, where it was often floated on the lily 
pool in conjunction with Kaweah. 
One of our best judges and well-known grower of 
Dahlias said to me (quote) : “I never expected you to 
surpass your Kaweah, but you surely have, with 
Goepner.” 1 1 Roots, $15.00
