CHAMBERLAIN. Bloom 10x5. Bush 4 feet. 
Blended pink and lavender with gold shad- 
ings. A fine large imported Dahlia with the 
greatest of keeping qualities of flowers. It 
has the foliage, growth and general plant 
habits of Jane Cowl. (85) 
Root, $0.75; Plant, $0.50 
CHAUTAUQUA DAWN. Bloom 10x5. Bush 
5% feet. The color is a beautiful peach sal- 
mon. It is a strong, vigorous variety, and 
many fine, large flowers are presented by one 
plant in a season. Stems are long, and hold 
flowers well above foliage. (85) 
Plant, $2.00 
ENKART PRIMA. Bloom 9x5. Bush 4 feet. 
The most perfect and largest of the many 
pink and yellow cactus that have come from 
Europe, but this is the best one for the mid- 
west. When cut it is one of the longest 
keepers we know. Unsurpassed for exhibi- 
tion. Bright salmon with gold center. 
Root or Pot Clump, $1.50; Plant, $0.50 


EVELYN CHANDLER. Bloom 11x7. Bush 5% 
feet. Color is a bright golden orange, a self 
color. A free bloomer with huge flowers held 
far above foliage. Best of long stems. It is 
an early and constant bloomer and a good 
root maker. This was one of the best, earliest 
and most reliable of the new ones for 1940.

Root or Pot Clump, $5.00; Plant, $2.00 
FLASH. Bloom 7x5. Bush 4 feet. A most out- 
standing bicolor of scarlet red with white 
tips. We consider this one of the best of re- 
cent introductions due to its color and the 
great keeping qualities of the flowers. We 
needed an easily grown bicolor S.C. and this 
seems to fill the bill. (86) 
Root, $7.50; Plant, $2.50 
GRETEL. Bloom 6x3. Bush 3 feet. A bright 
henna red. It is a much more massive flower 
than Miss Belgium and is a better variety. 
We use it for cutting and that is the best 
recommendation for the midwest. (85) 
Root, $0.35 
HILLSIDE GOLD. Bloom 8x4. Bush 3 feet. A 
very beautiful golden yellow, with apricot 
suffusion early in the season. This is one of 
the most dependable dahlias we know, since 
it blooms very early and continues faithfully 
all summer and up till frost, producing many 
flowers in rapid succession. The fine blooms 
have well nigh perfect substance and form. 
(87) Root, $2.50; Plant, $1.00 
KAY FRANCIS. Bloom 9x5. Soft lemon yellow, 
a shade darker than Frau Bracht. A very 
rellable performer in all sections of the 
country, both on the exhibition table and in 
the garden. Bushes tall and rugged reaching 
a height of 6 feet. Fine branching habits and 
free, early blooming make this one of the 
best of all yellows. Extra good. 
Root, $0.50 
MICHIGAN WHITE. S.C. to I.D. Bloom 5x3 
farm, 8x4 garden. Bush 4 feet. A fine, white 
cut-flower dahlia and the only one since Jean 
Kerr, for the Ohio Valley, for it meets the 
principle requirement of a white cut flower; 
produces unsullied flowers in hot weather. 
And for exhibition it is equally important 
for its fine form, substance and 8 inch flow- 
ers. It wins every fall. With all its good 
points it is also a big root producer. (87) 
Root or Pot Clump, $0.75; Plant, $0.50 
MISS GLORY. Bloom 10x5: Bush 4 feet. A 
real deep, bright yellow. The bushes are wide 
and massive and produce fine, big clumps. 
The blooms have perfect form and great sub- 
stance. This fine dahlia fills a gap caused by 
the scarcity of reliable exhibition semi-cactus 
in deep yellow. (86) Root, $0.50 
SCARLET LEADER. Flower 7x4. Bush 3% 
feet. This is an outstanding dahlia in regard 
to long, strong stems, the most beautiful red 
shade we have and its great profusion of 
flowers, of great substance. Needless to say 
we use it for cutting as it produces as well 
on the farm as it does in the garden. (87)
