coming a very deep rose. Blooms attain a size of 
11 inches by 6 inches deep ; a very strong grower 
with insect resisting foliage. The flowers are 
held erect on strong stiff stems, the stems being 
strong enough to hold the largest flower that can 
be grown. Won the American Home Achievement 
medal at East Liverpool show in a very strong 
class of seedlings. Blooms were in good condi¬ 
tion at the close of the show the second day.

to a cream at the center. Size 10 inches in di¬ 
ameter by 5 inches in depth. The bush growth is 
about 4% feet and flower can be cut with ex¬ 
tremely long stems, as it is a well branching

are strong which hold the flower erect. Won first 
in Cleveland show.

ROSEMARY’S BEAUTY 
Semi-Cactus—1938 
A beautiful Semi-Cactus of true form with a 
color of pink shading to lemon center; center 
slightly raised ; flowers growing about 11 inches 
in diameter by 6 inches in depth. This dahlia 
comes from the parents of two dahlias, both scor¬ 
ing 87 at Storrs ; namely SATAN and our own 
introduction of 1932, PATRICIA ANN. ROSE¬ 
MARY’S BEAUTY won American Home Achieve¬ 
ment Medal at Dahlia Society of Ohio show at 
Cleveland, competing with a class of 17 entries ; 
also won first prize in the single bloom class at 
West Virginia Dahlia Society show at Fairmont, 
W. Va. Blooms early and a dahlia that will 
produce bloom. We think this dahlia will make 
the best of the SEMI-CACTUS go some to beat 
it. For beauty and formation it is hard to beat. 
The most admired dahlia in our gardens the last 
few years. Included on Leonard Barron’s Honor 
Roll for 1938 in the FLOWER GROWER. After 
winning the Achievement Medal at Cleveland in 
1937, it won the following awards in 1938: Won 
President’s Cup at West Virginia Dahlia Society 
show with a basket of (11) blooms, won in vase 
of (3) at Cleveland and also won an AWARD 
OF HONOR at the Georgia test grounds. 
Roots $2.50. Plants $1.00. 
LOIS WALCHER (Walcher-Geer) 
Formal Decorative—1939 
Color dark true purple with white tips which 
are evenly spaced and of consistent area. This 
pattern of purple background sprinkled with white 
spots, presents a picture of interest and attrac¬ 
tion. This bi-color is not large, being seven and 
one-half to eight inches in diameter. Foliage is 
resistant and heavy. Stems are strong and 12 to 
15 inches long. Flowers are good in substance 
and keeping qualities. This won the “American 
Home” Achievement Medal at New York. Its 
other winnings include: American Home, De¬ 
troit, 1938; Certificate of Merit, A. D. S., Lan¬ 
sing, 1936; Scored at Cincinnati Trial Grounds, 
1938. It won first at the following shows in the 
bi-color classes: Midwest, 1935; Akron, 1935; 
Cleveland, 1936 ; Akron, 1938. 
Roots $3.00. Plants $1.00. 
HILLSIDE SUNSET (Hillside Farm) 
Informal Decorotive—1939 
Hillside Sunset is one that will be classed as an 
autumn shade. The color is gold, darker at the 
center and the outer edge of the petals. Each 
petal has a pencil line of red around the edge. 
It won the Achievement Medal at Cleveland. It 
was tied for first in the Informal Decorative, 
undisseminated class. This dahlia will probably 
furnish competition for others in its class next 
year as it won the American Dahlia Society’s 
Medal at Cleveland as the largest and most per¬ 
fect bloom. It also won as the largest bloom 
grown by a commercial grower at the Detroit 
show. 
Roots $5.00. Plants $1.50. 
EVERYBODY’S FAVORITE 
Informal Decorative—1939 
A rose pink bloom without the faintest trace 
of lavender. It is very large and can easily be 
grown over a foot across. The petals fall back 
to the stems, giving the bloom tremendous depth. 
The stem is good and the bush is very rugged, and 
it attains a height of six feet. Winner of the 
highest award in the seedling class at Detroit. 
Roots $5.00. Plants $2.00. 
GLAMOUR 
Informal Decorative—1939 
An imm^ense true purple, deeply edged amar¬ 
anth pink.' Something entirely different from any 
existing variety ; as the bloom develops the petals 
fall back to the stem, giving it great depth. Many 
of the blooms are almost ball shape. It has been 
grown 14 x 11 inches, and we believe it can be 
grown even larger. It has a perfectly straight 
and exceedingly stiff stem. The bush grows six 
feet high, and it is very hardy. Insects do not 
seem to bother it. We showed this dahlia at Bal¬ 
timore against some very strong competition and 
won the American Home Achievement Medal. 
Roots $5.00. Plants $2.00. 
JULIUS C. BUNGE* 
Semi-Cactus—1938 
A real addition to the PINK class, and a real 
pink with no trace of lavender. A real mag¬ 
nificent exhibition dahlia on long stiff stems borne 
well above the foliage, free bloomer and a good 
keeper when cut. The flowers are of medium size 
of good depth. First class certificates at Haar¬ 
lem and Baarn, Holland. This dahlia won the 
American Home Medal at Peekskill, New York, 
show. On Leonard Barron’s Honor Roll in the 
Flower Grower for 1938. 
Roots $2.00. Plants $1.00. 
MASCOTTE* 
Cactus—1937 
Winner of the Silver Challenge Cup, 1937. A 
recommendation which says enough. The past 
few years only a few good and true cactus have 
been brought into the dahlia world. So it is 
clear that MASCOTTE, which possesses first class 
exhibition points, will win for the most of the 
dahlia fanciers. The color is carmine-pink. It 
is also very suitable for the cut flower trade. 
Roots $1.00.
