OUR NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1942 
FIRST LADY—Informal Decorative. Yellow and orange; yellow at center with the body 
of the flower heavily shaded pinkish orange. A spectacular 12-inch bloom of fine form. 
Particularly noticeable is the extra good plant growth with its exceptionally clean foli- 
age. Blooms freely and early on the best of stems. Because of these qualities it is ideal 
as a large cut flower. Fifteen blooms of this won the Blue Ribbon at the San Francisco

JOSEPH B. LANKTREE—Informal Decorative. Bright red without shadings; officially 
“turkey red.” This great dahlia was produced by Mr. Bernard Dunn from seed pur- 
chased from us. It won the Achievement Medal at Alameda last year, and judged both 
in the showroom and garden it was also awarded a $500.00 cash prize as the best new 
variety to originate in Alameda County through a 3-year period. All three blooms in the 
Achievement Medal entry were 13 to 14 inches in diameter by 7 to 8 inches in depth 
and it grew to similar size for us the past season. We believe it is the very best bright red 
decorative to date and are proud to have the privilege of introducing it. With ordinary 
care it will provide many large perfect blooms that are useful for all purposes.

that will serve a very desirable purpose. It is a welcome addition in the class with such 
varieties as Golden Standard and Gala California. Blooms are of good size for this type 
and have perfect placement on the stems which are strong and long. A lavish bloomer
