INDIAN SUMMER — Semi-Cactus 

CARL G. DAHL — Informal Decorative 
HON. A. E. GIEGENGACK (F. D.) (Goetzger.) A 1942 introduc- 
tion which might best be described as a formal Murphy’s Master-

red than Murphy’s. If you need a huge red formal try this.

golden yellow suffused soft orange, a new and beautiful shade in a 
semi-cactus. A tall rugged grower with the finest of stems.

ful Dahlia Futurity and Flower Grower Honor Roll.

JANE COWL (I. D.) This giant flower is easily the most outstand- 
ing variety of the present generation. It is far too well known to 
require any lengthy description. However, for the benefit of any 
beginners, we will say that it is a glistening bronzy buff of ideal 
habits, and by all means try it. Roots $ .35 3 for $1.00

and of good depth. Has good stems and blooms well.

JERSEY’S DAINTY This incurved cactus is most aptly named as 
both its coloring and form are extremely dainty. The color is pure 
white with just a faint tinge of lavender at times. A prolific 
bloomer with long stems and a good cut flower. Roots $ .50 
JERSEY’S WHITE BEAUTY (I. D.) An excellent cut flower white 
and a fine keeper when cut. Roots $ .50 
JESSICA DRAGONETTE (S.-C.) Comparison with the color chart 
shows the colors to be picric yellow suffused with Venetian pink. 
However, a description which we think more readily visualized 
would be peach and cream with a shading of deeper pink on the 
reverse of the petals. The type is semi-cactus almost bordering on 
the informal decorative. The petals turn in, making the huge 
blooms both deep and massive. The plants are rugged growing 
with good stout stems and produce an abundance of blooms. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
JIMMIE FOXX (1. D.) The formation is deep and shaggy, different 
from existing varieties. Stems are erect and size of the blooms is 
very large standing right on top of the stem. The color is coppery 
rel with a touch of henna. If you like big ones don’t miss it.
