EVELYN CHANDLER. Bloom 11x7. Bush 5% 
feet. Color is a bright golden orange, a self 
color. A free bloomer with huge flowers held 
far above foliage. Best of long stems. It is 
an early and constant bloomer and a good 
root maker. This was one of the best, earliest 
and most reliable of the new ones for 1940. 
Root, $2.00; Plant, $1.00 
FLASH. Bloom 7x5. Bush 4 feet. A most out- 
standing bicolor of scarlet red with white 
tips. We consider this one of the best of re- 
cent introductions due to its color and the 
great keeping qualities of the flowers. We 
needed an easily grown bicolor S.C. and this 
seems to fill the bill. 
Root, $3.00; Plant, $1.00 
BETTE DAVIS. Bloom, 7x4%. Bush 4 feet. 
Lilac rose or a deep orchid pink. For high 
quality of flower and stem; for reliability 
of performance in garden or field this dahlia 
has no superior. It has an almost perfect 
habit of growth and from midseason on it 
presents an astonishing array and abund- 
ance of flowers. It is not a big root maker, 
but we have no difficulty keeping the roots 
100% Root, $0.50 
HILLSIDE GOLD. Bloom 8x4. Bush 8 feet. A 
very beautiful golden yellow, with apricot 
suffusion early in the season. This is one of 
the most dependable dahlias we know, since 
it blooms very early and continues faithfully 
all summer and up till frost,\producing many 
flowers in rapid succession. The fine blooms 
have well nigh perfect substance and form. 
Root, $1.00; Plant, $0.50 
MAFFIE. S.C. Bloom 13x6. A huge semi-cactus 
with a distinctive shaggy formation. Color 
bright glowing red, stems heavy and long 
with flowers facing sideways. This is easily 
the largest red dahlia in existence today. 
Bushes tall with dark leathery foliage. Plants 
should be topped when 1 ft. high. Height 6 
feet. Don’t miss this one. 
Root, $4.00; Plant, $1.50 
MARY L. DUDLEY. S.C. Bloom 12x6. A huge 
maroon semi-cactus on extra long stems. 
Plant growth is remarkably vigorous and 
fast growing. Should be topped early. Flow- 
ers possess remarkable keeping qualities and 
are highly recommended for exhibition. In 
early hot weather the stem bends a little 
but later they are perfect. Bush 6 ft. 
Root, $5.00; Plant, $1.50 
MICHIGAN WHITE. S.C. to I.D. Bloom 5x3 
farm, 8x4 garden. Bush 4 feet. A fine, white 
cut-flower dahlia and the only one since Jean 
Kerr, for the Ohio Valley, for it meets the 
principle requirement of a white cut flower; 
produces unsullied flowers in hot weather. 
And for exhibition it is equally important 
for its fine form, substance and 8 inch flow- 
ers. It wins every fall. With all its good 
points it is also a big root producer. 
Root, $0.50; Plant, $0.50 
SCARLET LEADER. Flower 7x4. Bush 3% 
feet. This is an outstanding dahlia in regard 
to long, strong stems, the most beautiful red 
shade we have and its great profusion of 
flowers, of great substanee. Needless to say 
we use it for cutting as it produces as well 
on the farm as it does in the garden. 
Root, $1.00; Plant, $0.50 
SCARLET WONDER. S.C. to I.D. Flower 6 
x3. Bush 3 feet. One of the most reliable va- 
rieties imported from Europe. A bright, 
deep scarlet, nice long stems. We use this 
with Scarlet Leader for cutting. 
Root, $0.75 
YELLOW GLORY. Bloom 11x6. Bush 5 feet. 
A clear, lemon yellow and a superb, big 
flower that will be seen for many years in 
our dahlia shows. It produced well in the 
Ohio Valley, having big, strong bushes and 
magnificent blooms. The brilliant, clear yel- 
low, the great depth of the flower and great 
substance make this a great exhibition va- 
riety. Root, $2.00; Plant, $1.00
