ELISSA LANDI. A clear orange of good sub- 
stance; 7 inches. 4 feet. Plenty of flowers 
and big clumps. (86) Root, $0.50 
FIREBALL. True scarlet, a real fiery red. 
Ball shaped formal. Outstanding. 7 inches. 
414 feet. This is the best of the fire color 
dahlias ever originated. (85) 
Root, $0.75; Plant, $0.50 
GRAND MASTER. An autumn shade, blend of 
orange and gold. 9 in. x 5 deep. 4 feet. This 
is one of the most reliable of Dahlias being 
a very vigorous grower with plenty of fine 
large bloom. (85) 
Root, $1.00; Plant, $0.50 
GLORIA BACHER. 9x5 inches. 5 feet. Intro- 
duced last year as the best purple formal, 
we believe it to be the most vigorous and 
productive of the purples, excepting Jean 
Trimbee. In 1940, the blooms were nearly 
as large as Glamour and we had plenty. 
(85) Plant, $2.00 
HONOR BRIGHT. Amber bronze. 7 inches. 
4% feet. In its habit of growth Honor 
Bright is the standard by which we judge 
other varieties. The long lasting blooms top 
long, upright canes and long stems, and are 
rapidly produced. It is the parent of Be- 
gonia Rose. (86) 
Root or Pot Clump, $0.50 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY. 5 inches. 6 feet. This 
fine pink was the first truly florists’ dahlia 
and still is a standard for cutting. Like the 
best cut-flower dahlias, the blooms should be 
cut promptly as soon as open and not al- 
lowed to fade on the bush. (87) 
Root, $0.35 
KENTUCKY SUN. Bloom 8x5. Bright yellow. 
This is probably the healthiest grower of 
all the yellows, producing quantities of uni- 
form flowers facing toward the heavens. 
Bush height about four feet. Stems inclined 
to be short at first but they grow out of this 
later in the season. Almost a sure winner on 
the show table. Root, $0.50 
LOIS WALCHER. F.D. Bloom 6x4. A vivid 
contrast of purple, tipped white. A strong 
grower with perfect stems and an early and 
profuse bloomer. Lois Walcher is hard to 
beat in the formal bi-color class and will 
make a bright spot in any man’s garden. 
Bush 3% feet. 
Root or Pot Clump, $1.50; Plant, $0.50 
MARIE. A real pink of the most vigorous 
habits and a big root maker. 4-5 inches. 
5 feet. Useful for cutting and one of the 
best garden dahlias. (87) Root, $0.35 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH. Anna Benedict and 
Oakleigh Monarch are two reds we use for 
cutting. Probably the latter is the best all 
purpose red dahlia. It is the most uniform 
in its high vigor and reliability of bloom. 
8-9 inches. 5 feet. (88) 
Root or Pot Clump, $0.50; Plant, $0.50 
PURPLE MIST. 8 inches. 41% feet. Probably 
the freeest bloomer of the good purples. 
Very reliable as an exhibition variety. (85) 
Root, $0.75; Plant, $0.50

QUEEN CITY. The color that has no equal 
in any dahlia or any flower, scarlet pink. 
The dahlia that has revolutionized the cut- 
flower business for many dahlia growers in 
this section. From early July constantly till 
frost it produces and should be cut when 
blooms are two-thirds developed. For great- 
est production and highest quality the 
bushes should be always cut clean of flowers. 
Ball type formal, 6x4 inches. Bush 4 feet. 
(87) Root, $0.75; Plant, $0.50 
SALADINI. One of the oldest varieties. Free 
blooming orange. Dahlias like this are re- 
sponsible for the great advance in the qual- 
ity of dahlias in the last twenty years. Very 
early. 6 inches. 5 feet. (85) Root, $0.30
