DAHLIADEL 1941 INTRODUCTIONS 
IMP (Dahliadel 85S), Bloom 3, Bush 2 ft. An Orchid Flowering 
variety of clear lemon yellow. Petals are so tightly rolled, a f 
geometric design is plainly visible at center. A decided acquisi- ‘ 
tion for use in arrangements as it is extremely beautiful. The 
small blooms are produced in great profusion on the compact LOTTIE Pe 
plants. A dahlia that will win on the exhibition table. Dudley’s ween Z 
Honor Roll and Johnston’s Futurity, ’41.Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.00 
CANDLE LIGHT (Dahliadel 85S), Bloom 5, Bush 5 ft. A brilliant 
yellow Single dahlia. A healthy bush produces its abundance of 
flowers on strong stems. Named by J. W. Johnston and wife who 
greatly admired it because of the unusual shape of petals at 
center which gives one the impression of candle-light rays. On 
Johnston’s Futurity, 1941. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.00 
COLLEGIATE (Dahliadel 85S), Bloom 4, Bush 2!% ft. This 
Orchid is garnet red with a tan reverse, a darker coloring which 
is quite modern. One of the freest blooming varieties and flowers 
are always good. The bush is healthy and sturdy. A marvel for 
arrangement work. Although not startling, its rich coloring is 
appealing. Johnston’s Futurity, 1941.

DARK LUSTRE (Dabhliadel 85S), Bloom 5, Bush 2!% ft. This 
Collarette of richest deep velvety garnet red is further enhanced 
by a white collar with slight carmine markings. Nature, the 
great artist, here has made a masterpiece in color. Bush is low 
and compact with good blooming habit. While we kept no popu- 
larity records of the small varieties in 1940, our visitors would un- 
questionably have placed this beauty in the first three on such a 
list. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.00

RED EYE (Dahliadel 85S), Bloom 2, Bush 2 ft. Bright orange

hibition blooms. At the shows and in our fields, it was greatly 
admired. Distinctive and different. Futurity, 1941.
