DAHLIAS—Continued 
OPAL (Berwick-Dahliadel 85A), Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 
4’% ft. A very popular variety because of its un- 
usual coloring combined with excellent form, which 
is most artistic. In color it is a pastel combina- 
tion of soft salmon rose with lighter shadings, and 
centers of light lemon yellow. The stems are long, 
erect, holding the flowers in good position well 
above the glossy, dark foliage. Has done very well 
in the various exhibitions, but above all, is decided- 
ly worthwhile for the average dahlia grower. Certi- 
fied at E. Lansing.

ARELDA LLOYD (Smith 85A), Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 
5'4 ft. A clear lemon yellow with a very faint rose 
suffusion on ends of petals. May be described as a 
yellow Jane Cowl as the form of the flowers and 
bush growth are almost identical, although Arelda 
is earlier to bloom. Root, .35 
CHARMER (Lloyd 85A,. Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 5!4 
ft. A clear golden buff, lightly overlaid with an 
apricot yellow suffusion, very little rose showing. 
We believe this is a yellow sport of Jane Cowl, 
which seems to be getting darker each season so 
that there is not a lot of difference left between the 
two varieties. Certified at Storrs. Root, .35 
DUCHESS (Herzogen von Wuerttemberg 85A), Bloom 
10 x 6, Bush 414 ft. Color, warm buff suffused apri- 
cot shading darker at center with a faint rosy cast 
over all, which is lighter and brighter than Jane 
Cowl, while it is nearer the Semi-cactus in form. 
Bush growth good, and stems almost perfect. This 
variety deserves greater distribution.

GOODNIGHT (Broomall 838A), 
Bloom 10 x 5, Bush 5 ft. 
One of the prettiest dark 
dahlias. Good throughout 
the season. Color, oxblood 
shaded maroon. Its faults 
are hard to find as it has 
size, form and stem as well 
as having profuse and early 
blooming habits. Root, .50; 
Pot ‘Root, .50; Plant, .50 
INCANDESCENT (Weyer 
84A), Bloom 10 x 6, Bush 
514 ft. Soft orange, with 
coral red reverse and shad- 
ings. Plant growth somewhat 
temperamental. Evidently 
this variety will need some 
extra cultural care as it is 
considered very good when 
in condition.

PRICE vs. QUALITY 
There are dahlias offered at lower prices than ours 
and we realize it is a temptation to buy at as low a 
figure as possible, as you want to get as much as 
you can for your money; but to have 100% success, 
you must have the best stock that can be produced. 
Buying inferior stock at low cost is not an economi- 
cal way to buy and seldom is the way to success,
