Edison’s Dahlias 

FRECKLES (Kemp, 1937), I. D. 
The ground color is a lemon-chrome, striped, blotched and 
speckled bright scarlet, irregularly distributed over the yellow 
ground color. Blooms up to 14 inches in width, and great 
depth, and was many times first prize winner in the bi-color 
classes in the 1936 Shows. The plant is a beautiful grower 
and a prolific bloomer.

FROLICHE PFALS (Berger), S. C. 
A very striking one. A light purple, tipped white. When it 
comes to sheer beauty, very few, if any, can rival it. The 
blooms are of good size and held facing sideways on good, 
strong, wiry stems, well above the foliage.

FROST QUEEN (Tyron, 1939), S. C.

GAY CABALLERO (Morgan, 1940), I. C. 
A beautiful deep red incurved cactus of unusual form and 
color. The formation is most distinctive, as the ends of the 
petals twist abruptly at right angles to the main body of the 
flower, giving a staghorn effect. The 7-9 inch blooms are 
borne early and profusely on long, strong stems, well above 
the sturdy bush. The flowers keep well when cut.

GAY KNIGHT, I. D., (Australian) 
Immense blooms, should be a bigger sensation than Murphey’s 
Masterpiece as far as size, but the form of the bloom is much 
better. Red color, tipped orange toward ends of petals, with 
a scarlet reverse. Healthy grower. Stems very good. Exhi- 
bition variety in the large class. From Australia.

GEO. O. WALLACE 
GEO. O. WALLACE (1938), I. D. 
This is, without doubt, one of the finest exhibition Dahlias 
ever originated and one that will be very hard to beat. The 
color is light yellow with reverse shaded white. Most blooms 
are erect, facing the sky. The cener is high and always tight 
and every bloom is fit for the show table. The stems are al- 
ways straight and strong, 15-22 inches to the first leaf. The 
bush growth is upright and about 6 feet tall. Flowers are 
long lasting when cut. They measure sLaeby 20 inches_ under 
ordinary cultivation. Their form is exquisite, very few Dahlias 
so large have its utter lack of coarseness.
