DEMOLAY (Formal Decorative) 
Dahliadel 1941 Introduction 
DEMOLAY (Dahliadel 85A), Bloom 9 x 5, Bush 4!% ft. A velvety crimson with heavy, dark green foli- 
age. Certified at Storrs, 1940, and W. Va., 1939. The color is exceptionally bright and attractive. 
While a Formal flower, it never appears stiff and the flowers are held in a stately manner on long, strong 
stems. The bush is most sturdy in keeping with the flower, and very easy to grow. We believe that 
DeMolay will rapidly gain the foremost rank in the Formal Class, and prove a most welcome addition in 
the gardens of dahlia lovers. We have given this variety a rigid test in our trial grounds before intro- 
ducing it and feel confident it will prove entirely satisfactory. The outstanding feature of this variety is 
a lustrous sheen to the velvety red, making it glisten under sun and artificial light in an arresting manner. 
Roots, $10.00; Plants, $3.50
