PRICE LIST OF OUR DAHLIA ROOTS 
LARGER FLOWERED TYPE 
ACHIEVEMENT. (ID) - - Roots 35e 
(Ballay-Sueccess) Large golden yellow flower, suffused with 
coral, with petals curved and twisted gracefully. Blooms 
are well held on strong stems, and keep wonderfully well as 
cut flowers. The plant is a strong, tall grower. 
ADIRONDACK SUNSET (ID) Roots 75¢ 
(Cackener-Parkway) One of the most glorious garden and 
land scape flowers on the market. The individual blooms are 
monstrous, both large and full. Petals are brilliant scarlet, 
tipped with gold, blending to canary yellow at the center, 
and with a gold reverse. The petals are broad, waving and 
twisting to present a general Autumn color effect. Bush 
bears heavily. Flower is only a medium keeper when cut, as 
the back petals tend to wilt before the center comes fully 
out. This flower drew more attention thany any other in 
its color class in our garden, especially from men. 
AIK OS (SO )e- ee ee = 2 Roots: 75¢ 
(Dahliadel) A very spectacular dahlia, which frequently 
blooms from 12 to 13 inches in diameter. It is a deep car- 
mine or cardinal in color, with a reverse of silver, and silver 
showing at the flower center and tips of petals. The bush 
is medium high, a strong grower, with good stems, and 
makes a marvelous show flower. 
ALICE WHITTIER. (SC) - Roots 25c¢ 
(Success) One of the older varieties that has remained very 
popular. It bears many large flowers, holding them well 
out from a tall bush on strong stems. Flowers cut well, and 
keep with a minimum of attention. Color is a clear primrose 
yellow. Does well as a landscape variety, and looks excep- 
tionally well in front of green shrubbery. 
AMELIA EARHART. (SC) - Roots 50c 
(Cordes-Eastman) Color is apricot buff, with salmon tints, 
shading to a soft buff at the base of the petals. Plant is 
tall and thrifty, and blooms are held well out of the foliage 
on long, strong stems. The petals straggle and point, mak- 
ing a very attractive whole. The flowers are good keepers, 
and make a striking bouquet that is sure to draw attention. 
AMERICAN PURITY. (SC) 
Plants 75c, Roots $1.00 
(American Dahlia Farms) A pure glistening white flower 
that is borne on strong erect stems. Bloom is large and deep, 
and the petals are very tightly quilled at the tips. A multi- 
tude of petaloids adds to the depth and fullness. Bush is 
strong and produces plenty of flowers. A good show dahlia 
that keeps well when cut. 
AMERICAN TRIUMPH. (C) - Roots 35e 
(Nuneviller) A beautiful bright, clear, oriental red, with 
spiky petals which tend to turn inward towards a high, full 
center, giving a pin-cushion effect that is very pleasing. 
Good strong stems, and an exceptional keeping quality make 
it not only attractive in the garden, but a good cut flower. 
AMERICA’S SWEETHEART. (ID) 
Roots $1.00 
(Salem) Truly what its name implies. This dahlia, with 
Lord of Autumn and California Idol, just about clean up 
every prize available to yellow classes. It is a pale, gentle 
shade of lemon yellow, with petal ends double serrated, 
curved and twisted very artistically. Bloom is huge, with 
good stems, and will creat a sensation in any garden or vase.

AMUN RA. (FD) - - - - - Roots 20c 
(Seal) This dahlia is one of the oldest favorites we have yet

of exceptional quality. An autumn shade of deep tan, and 
keeping qualities that make it a good all-around plant. 
ANDREAS ERICSON. (ID) - Roots 50c 
(F. & M.) Perhaps the best of the moderately priced whites, 
with broad, oval petals with pointed, twisted tips. Flower 
has a fluffy appearance, which makes it striking. The soft, 
lovely blooms are good cut flowers, of exhibition type. 
ANDREAS HOFER. (ID) - - Roots 25e 
(Holland) Another of the older favorites. A delicate pink, 
with a creamy base that sometimes prevails over the pink.

cut flower, and profuse and artistic blooms make it a good 
garden variety. 
ANNA BENEDICT. (ID) - - Roots 85e

and is sure to please. As it bears profusely, it makes a very 
brilliant landscape flower, and blooms keep well as cut 
flowers, making a very striking bouquet.
