12 x 7 inch blooms can scarcely be equalled by any other yellow 
semi-cactus variety. Beautiful in form and finish of bloom. Stems 
are rigid and hold the flower well above the top leaves of the 
sturdy 5 foot bush. Certified at Storrs. Winner of Achieve- 
ment medal at the N. J. Dahlia Society Show, and many other

JOAN CRAIG~—I. D. (Chappaqua, 1940). This red dahlia possesses 
a richness in color tones seldom seen in red dahlias, it being a 
deep ox-blood red, almost black at the center, reverse burgundy. 
The petals twist sufficiently to show the reverse, which imparts 
additional richness to the blooms. Has good stems that hold 
blooms erect. and well out of the top foliage. Blooms are large. 
Plant growth vigorous, reaching a height of over 4 feet. Listed 
in the Dahlia Futurity for 1940.

GEORGE O. WALLACE~I. D. (Wallace). This spectacular dahlia 
was very outstanding in our test garden last season. In color, it 
is Citron Yellow lower half of petals, Cream Yellow upper half 
of petals. Flower is somewhat loosely built, but has great size 
and good keeping qualities, both on the plant and when cut, and 
may well be classed among the giant exhibition varieties, as we 
had many blooms 11 inches and over in diameter, which were 
held high out of the foliage on sturdy stems. Plant is an excep- 
tionally strong grower attaining to a height of 6 to 7 feet. Is 
well branched and quite prolific of giant exhibition blooms. 
Easy doer. 
Roots each $3.00, Plants each $1.50, 3 for $3.00 
ONE GRAND~—Semi-Cac. This is one of the largest dahlias of this 
type we have ever grown. Last season we had many blooms 
12 to 14 inches in diameter which were held high out of the 
foliage on rigid stems. The plant is a tall sturdy grower, reach- 
ing a height of 6 to 7 feet, is many branched and quite a proli- 
fic bloomer. A good companion to the George O. Wallace. Ex- 
cellent exhibition variety. 
Plants each $1.50, 3 for $3.00 
REMEMBER~— Our plants are propogated from carefully selected base 
cuttings. Plants are stocky well rooted pot plants, weather hard- 
ened before shipment, and are guaranteed to reach you in good

MOTHERS DAY~—I. D. (Australian). This is just about the largest 
and best White Dahlia we have ever seen. In size, it is quite as 
large in width, and as great or greater in depth than the best 
blooms of the Margaret Broomall we have seen, and we have 
seen many of them, as we visited the introducers gardens three 
years in succession previous to its introduction. The blooms of 
Mothers Day average between 10 and 12 inches in diameter and 7 
to 8 inches in depth, but we have seen them larger from heavily 
fed plants. Plant is a strong grower attaining to a height of 6 
to 7 feet, is well branched and an early and moderately profuse- 
bloomer. Stems are long and strong, holding the giant blooms 
well above the foliage. We have good healthy stock and will 
be in a position to supply what should be good healthy plants, 
but in limited quantity. No roots for sale.

ALICE MAY~—I. D. (Australian). This waxy white dahlia is very 
appropriately called the White Lord of Autumn, as the blooms 
are almost an exact duplicate of the blooms of the Lord of Aut- 
umn in every respect excepting in color. Blooms range up to 
12 inches in diameter by 8 inches and over in depth, the petals 
folding back to the cane stiff stems, which hold the flowers fac- 
ing 8 to 10 inches above the top foliage. Plant is a strong grow- 
er, averaging around 5 feet high. A single bloom won three blue 
ribbons at the Cleveland show. One for the best bloom in the 
class, a second for the largest bloom in the show, and the third 
for the most perfect bloom in the show. This great white is sure 
to go places in the 1941 shows.
