PASADENA (McDonald-Salbach 1940)— 
F.D. There has been need for a real rose 
ink dahlia as a commercial cut flower, 
and Pasadena definitely fills this need. 
It was my privilege to see this dahlia ex- 
hibited at the 1939 Los Angeles County 
Fair held at Pomona, California, where 
it won first for the best 50 blooms, the 
Achievement Medal for the best seed- 
ling and five blue ribbons at different 
Southern California shows. It is also on 
the Flower Grower Honor Roll. This tall 
vigorous growing dahlia holds its giant 
rose pink flowers aloft on ideal stems.

SATAN—S.C. This splendid dahlia is, we 
think, one of the most striking dahlias in 
commerce today. Its horn-shaped petals 
give it a form that is entirely distinct and 
unusually graceful. Satan is of huge size

YELLOW ABUNDANCE (Salbach 1940)—I.D. 
In 1939 we purchased several seedlings © 
from a Northern grower. Among these 
was Yellow Abundance, so named be- 
cause the plants are literally covered 
with big perfect deep yellow blooms 
throughout the season. The flowers are 
large and hold their centers till late in 
the season. The plants make a very sym- 
metrical growth wtih luxuriant deep— 
green foliage. The blooms are well dis- 
tributed over the plant and are held on
