lemon yellow at the center with outer petals of amber and old gold, 
each petal tipped pure white. Blooms well and has good stems.

KING PETER (F. D.) It is difficult to imagine a more pleasing 
combination of colors than shown in this new importation. The 
base is white softly overlaid with amethyst and pale rose. Size 
medium, long stems and very fine for cut flowers and baskets. 
Roots $1.50 Plants $ .50 
KISS ME (S.-C.) A very unusual bi-color of about four inches in 
diameter. The base color is garnet red with the petals edged and 
tipped white. An eceedingly free bloomer and a splendid cut 
flower. Should be a winner in the medium size classes. Roots $ .50 
LAETARE (I. D.) A brilliant orange red suffused gold which strike 
you right in the eye when you see it. Medium size, a grand cut 
flower making it unusual for basket work.

LORD OF AUTUMN (F. D.) This bright yellow giant has become 
one of the most popular varieties wherever Dahlias are grown. 
The biooms are very large and deep and the stems the best. Has 
a grand record as a prize winner. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
LOIS WALCHER (F. D.) This attracted more attention than did 
perhaps any other Dahlia in our gardens last year. The colors are 
amaranth to pansy purple with the outer edges contrasted pure 
white. To many it proved disappointing as the size is medium but 
we very much liked the style of growth as well as the large num- 
ber of blooms it produced and believe to many who grow Dahlias 
for garden decoration and cutting it will be most satisfactory. 
Roots $1.50 Plants $ .50 
MAFFIE (S.-C.) One of the largest of the late introductions. Color 
is glowing red and the petals are long and shaggy. Flower face 
sideways and plants grow very tall. For best results should be 
topped when the plants are about 12 inches high. 
Roots $4.00 Plants $1.50 
MARY TAYLOR (Cac.) Grenadine pink with yellow center. A per- 
fectly formed cactus with wiry stems. Will be a winner for a long 
time in the cactus classes. Roots $2.00 Plants $ .75 
MARY TALLMADGE (I. D.) A Dahlia of decidedly different colors 
being a peculiar old rose shaded mulberry pink with a smoky over- 
cast. Large size, and bushes are strong growers. Roots $ .35 
MAYOR FRANK OTIS (i. D.) Clear buff yellow. Huge blooms 
coming late and at its best about October 1st. Plants very vigor- 
ous and clean growers. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
MISS BELGIUM (Cac.) A medium size cactus which is very useful 
in arrangements. Stems are wiry and blooms last well when cut. 
Color bright orange. Roots $ .50 
MONARCH OF THE EAST (F. D.) This attracted much atten- 
tion in our garden last year on account of its colossal size and 
brilliant orange bronze color. All blooms were at least a foot in 
diameter with wide spreading petals having a tough waxy finish. 
Cane-like stems. Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50

SILVER MEDAL WINNE 
MOHAWK CHIEF (S.=C.) Our introduction for 1938 which we 
believe can compete with the largest. It is informal decorative in 
type,.a very leep, rich velvety cardinal red in color and has extra 
long petals which point forward and have a slight twist which adds 
to the appeal of the bloom; centers are high and full. Good sub- 
stance. Stems carry the blooms facing and are of good length. 
Foliage thick and insect resistant. Certificate of Merit, Georgia 
Test Gardens, 1937. Roots $1.00 Plants $ .50 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (I. D.) A big spreading flower which 
can be grown as large as any of them. The color is a brilliant 
orange scarlet. Stems and other habits good. Roots $ .50 
MRS. GEORGE LE BOUTILLIER (I. D.) A new carmine red 
which rivals Murphy’s Masterpiece in many ways. It is flatter in 
formation and the blooms are more regularly formed. The blooms 
may be grown to very large size and are produced on sturdy plants. 
Roots $ .50 
MURPHY’S MASTERPIECE (I. D.) This immense red is a prize 
winner whenever shown. It can be grown larger than any other 
existing variety and with no particular forcing. Color rich red. 
Roots $1.00 Plants $ .75

firm heavy stems. The color is a combination of saffron yellow, 
gold and tints of salmon, the entire effect being an ochrous orange.

make this a variety of unusual coloring. Plants sturdy growers 
giving a fine lot of blooms. Roots $ .50

1935. Cotor is apricot orange and coral with a blending of lemon 
yellow. Fine high centers of perfect semi-cactus form. 
Roots $ .75 Plants $ .50 
OMAR KHAYYAM (F. D.) This big red has much the appearance 
of Jersey's Beacon, but the plants are much better growers, and 
the plants have fine long stems. The color is Chinese red shading 
to orange, being somewhat lighter at tips. Roots $ .35 
ORIENTAL GLORY (I. D.) An orange beauty which comes to us 
from the Mid West. The glowing orange blooms are most attrac- 
tive and we really know of nothing just like it. Stems are long 
with blooms nicely placed, foliage is healthy and clean. Another 
Certificate of Merit and Honor Roll variety. Roots $ .50
