DAHLIAS—Continued 
HASLEROVA (Svajner 86B), Bloom 7'% x 4, Bush 
5 ft. Delicate lavender almost white flecked and 
spotted French purple. An ‘‘oh”? and “ah” flower 
with our visitors. A true bi-color and as striking 
as any. Stem, foliage and bush growth very sat- 
isfactory. This variety is well worth a place in 
any planting. Roots, .75; Pot Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
BEETHOVEN (Bruidegom 84B), 1941, Bloom 5 x 3, 
Bush 4 ft. An intense violet rose, which is most 
attractive and admired by many. Although the 
flowers are only medium in size, the variety has 
a place in the Dahlia World as it is an unusual 
color and likes to bloom profusely. 
Roots, $3.50; Plants, $1.25 
BUCKEYE BRIDE (Roberts-Golden Rule 82B), 
Bloom 7 x 5, Bush 6 ft. Still a favorite with many. 
The bush-is a tall, rugged grower. Early continu- 
ous blooms on long, erect stems. Color, an even 
shade of shrimp or salmon pink. Roots, .50 
CAVALCADE (Fenton-Dahliadel 83A 84B), Bloom 
8 x 5, Bush 51% ft. In form and bush growth this 
dahlia resembles Jersey Beauty. It is, however, 
larger and two or three shades darker. Fine for 
home and florist use as it is a decided change from 
Jersey Beauty in a rich, deep rose with tones of 
rosy magenta. A good root maker. Roots, .35 
DEEP PURPLE (Stephenson-Ruschmohr 85A), 1940, 
Bloom 11 x 7, Bush 5 ft. Probably the largest, true 
purple Formal developed to date. Can be grown 
12 to 13 inches. Certified at Storrs and E. Lansing, 
°39. Blooms borne erect on stiff stems, with flowers 
facing the side. Dark, leathery, insect-resistant foli- 
age. A big fellow that must be reckoned with on 
the show table, but inclined to be rather late with 
us. Roots, $7.50; Plants, $2.50

ELITE GLORY (Kennedy 83A), Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 
4\% ft. A “long term’ dahlia which is still pop- 
war and still good. Color, rich red. Blooms large, 
of good form and substance and held erect on 
strong stems. Blooms medium late. Roots, .35 
ELITE SPORT (Dahliadel 844A), Bloom 9 x 5, Bush 
414 ft. A sport of Elite Glory identical in every 
respect with its parent, except the color, which is 
a beautiful buff striped and speckled crimson. As 
is common with many sports, this dahlia may re- 
vert at times and throw solid red flowers. Roots, .50 
GRACE (Bibbs 84B), Bloom 6 x 21%, Bush 5 ft. 
A very free blooming dahlia similar in form to Jer- 
sey Beauty, but producing many more blooms. Has 
good, full centers throughout the season. Color, 
pure white tipped and suffused lavender. A leading 
cut flower; stems good. Roots, .25; Pot Roots, .25 
JERSEY BEAUTY (Waite 86B), Bloom 6!4 x 4, 
Bush 6!% ft. This beautiful pink is undoubtedly 
the most universally grown dahlia. For years has 
been ‘‘the’? commercial cut flower, and still easily 
maintains its foremost position. Flowers have per- 
fect form on long stems. One of the best keepers. 
Roots, .35 
JERSEY WHITE BEAUTY (Waite 84B), Bloom 7 
x 3, Bush 5 ft. A white Jersey Beauty, which also 
has exceptional keeping qualities. Centers always 
good and petals tightly arranged. However, the 
petals curl and twist more than Jersey Beauty. 
Quite early and profuse in blooms. 
Roots, .75; Plants, .50 
KENTUCKY (Castlewood 85B), Bloom 614 x 4, 
Bush 614 ft. A sport of Jersey Beauty, which 
seems to be even a stronger grower. The flowers 
have the same ideal characteristics of form and 
substance. The basic color is Jersey Beauty pink 
with yellow and gold blended in, making its gen- 
eral effect salmon pink. Good for cutting. 
Roots, .35 
LOIS WALCHER  (Walcher-Geneva 85B), 19339, 
Bloom 7 x 4, Bush 41% ft. A true purple with 
outer third of petals clear white. A bi-color which 
has won six American Home Achievement Medals 
and certified at E. Lansing and O. V. D. A. Sturdy 
growth and good stems. This variety, however, is 
producing many rather small blooms throughout the 
country and while still sensational is losing some- 
what in popularity. 
Roots, $3.00; Pot Roots, $2.00; Plants, $1.00 
PHANTOM (Berger 844), Bloom 9 x 5, Bush 5 ft. 
Deep violet purple with distinctly white tips. Petals 
are long and broad. Strong growing bush, and ex- 
cellent stems. While many flowers show an uneven 
distribution of color, still a fine bi-color for the 
garden and for exhibition purposes. The demand 
for this dahlia shows a steady increase. 
Roots, .50; Pot Roots, .50; Plants, .50 
THE WORLD (Dahliadel 844), Bloom 9 x 41%, Bush 
5 ft. The color is rich, deep rosy magenta, over- 
laid garnet, with silver shadings on edges of petals. 
Full, perfect centers. Stems erect and strong. A 
heavy, strong growing plant with leathery foliage. 
The substance is good, but the blooms are best in 
cool weather. Roots, .35
