PLEASE NOTE 
It is with ds9p regret that we tell our many friends,who have 
purchased dahlia plants from us in the past,that we find it necessary 
to discontinue the sale of plants. 
OUR 1941 INTRODUCTIONS 
HONOR ROLL AND CERTIFICATE OF MERIT DAHLIAS. 
No.272 -HILLSIDE JOY - semi-cactus,color apricot shading to solid 
gold at the center,ivory reverse. Size,without forcing,S by 4 inches. 
It is a very prolific bloomer and a good cut flower. The stems are 
long,straight and stiff. Hillside Joy received two Certificates of 
Merit,one from Fairmont and one from East Lansing,scoring 85 at both 
places. Hillside Joy wa,s produced from the same seed parent as Hillside 
Gold,and we predict that it will be as popular in the semi-cactus 
class as Hillside Gold has been in the cactus class. You will find 
this dahlia pictured in the December ’Flower Grower* . 
Strong propagating divisions - $6.65 - three for $15.00. 
No.267- HILLSIDE BEAUTY - incurved cactus,color rose doree with 
ochraceous orange at base of petal. It has a dark gold sheen on the 
face and purplish veining on the reverse. The petals twist and curl 
showing this reverse on the tips of the petals. Average size of bloom 
is 7 by 4. It made a Certificate of Merit at Storrs,the only trial 
grounds at which it was entered,scoring 85. We are proud to offer these 
two dahlias and feel that they compare very favorably with our former 
introductions. 
Strong propagating divisions - $6.65 
Our last year's introductions,Eventide and Silver Lady,came 
through the show season with many blue ribbons to their credit. 
Eventide made a good showing in the Futurity class.
