INCURVED CACTUS DAHLIAS 
MISS OHIO (Frank 85B), Bloom 7 x 5!4, Bush 5 ft. 
Color, lilac suffused deep rose pink. This variety 
always has a fine full center and blooms profusely 
from early in the season until frost. Bush rather 
open with flowers held well above the foliage, on 
slender but rigid stems. When not disbudded, pro- 
duces blooms which literally cover the bush. Dis- 
budded the blooms are of exhibition size. Certified 
at Storrs. Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
BERNICE GEER (Geneva-Ruschmohr 84B), Bloom 
8 x 5, Bush 5 ft. Deep rose pink with old rose suf- 
fussion. High, full centers. Blooms freely on long, 
strong stems. 
Roots, $1.50; Pot Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
DOMINANT (Bruidegom 85A 85B), 1939, Bloom 8 x 
5, Bush 4 ft. Rose pink suffused lilac changing to 
sulphur yellow at center. The most artistic and 
finely formed flowers are held in perfect position on 
long strong stems. Bush growth rugged and _ foli- 
age heavy. Without question, one of the most be- 
autiful and satisfactory newer dahlias, 
unhesitatingly recommend. Roots, $1.00; Plants, .50 
FLASH (Salem 84A 85B), 1940, Bloom 8 x 5, Bush 
414 ft. A striking and unusual bi-color of moder- 
ate size. Petals are crimson with white tips and 
are serrated doubly, one set of serrations pointing 
one way, the other set opposite. Made an enviable 
reputation on the show table in 1939, but seemed to 
fall back some in 1940. Substance of flower not 
good as the blooms do not keep well when cut. 
Like many bi-colors some blooms are marked irreg- 
ularly. Roots, $7.50; Plants, $2.50 
GOLDEN STANDARD (Downs 85A), Bloom 9 x 5, 
Bush 4% ft. A warm buff shaded amber and gold. 
Very pleasing in form with full centers and evenly 
arranged petals. Like a number of other Incurved 
Cactus dahlias, at times it is inclined to be Straight. 
Bush is a good open grower. Excellent stems hold- 
ing flowers in good position. An older variety which 
is hard to beat in its color class. Roots, .50

ft. Light lemon shading to almost white at tips. 
This variety has a marvelous form, and is as beau- 
tiful as any, but is very late coming into bloom. 
Should be planted very early.

Good form and does well under ordinary culture. 
Fine for florist use. Roots, .35

ways in demand. Color is soft violet rose with sil- 
ver shadings. Stems, slender but as rigid as iron. 
Blooms early and continuously. Bush open and 
strong. The seed parent of our new Snowcrest, 
which inherits many of its good qualities. Roots, .35

ft. A Holland variety of soft Tyrian pink shading

MME. GEORGE PEZANT (Pezant 85B), Bloom 8 x 
4\%, Bush 3 ft. Bright scarlet of true Cactus form. 
Stems good and flower held well. Bush growth 
somewhat short. This variety needs some shading to 
produce perfect blooms. When well grown, is very 
fine. Roots, .75; Pot Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
NANCY ANN MITCHELL (Mitchell-Ruschmohr 
85B), Bloom 7!4 x 5, Bush 5 ft. Vivid scarlet of 
good size and depth. Bush of good size with leath-

RED SPIDER (Dahliadel 844), Bloom 9 x 5, Bush

able to support the blooms.

ROYAL PURCHASE (Salem 84A), Bloom 10 x 5, 
Bush 414 ft. Color is straw yellow with outer pet- 
als suffused pink. This shaggy variety is really mas- 
sive enough to go with the Semi-cactus dahlias, but 
the long, slender petals revolute enough to qualify it 
as a Cactus. Blooms are deep, full and held nicely 
out of the foliage on strong stems.

SON OF SATAN (Slocum 85A), Bloom, 11 x 5, Bush 
5 ft. This variety is an improvement over Satan as 
it is a bright scarlet and has stronger stems. AI- 
though the petals revolute sufficiently to bring it 
into the Incurved Cactus Class, under varied con- 
ditions it will develop into a Semi-cactus.
