CLASS—F. D. (Salem). This great sulphur yellow dahlia has been 
grown to 15% inches across, but under ordinary conditions it is 
an eleven inch bloom. We firmly believe it to be the largest and 
best formal to date. It is very compact, is not at all coarse, and 
the petals fall back toward the stem when the bloom is fully 
developed. The stems are straight and rigid and hold the blooms 
almost directly on top. Bushes are rugged, of medium height, 
and will produce five and six 10 and 11 inch blooms at the same 
time. 
It was the best formal at the A. D. S. Show 1940, best formal 
at the Central States Show at Chicago, was the most outstanding 
speciment bloom in the 1939 Poughkeepsie, N. Y. show when ex- 
hibited as a two year seedling. 
Roots each $7.50, Plants each $2.50, 3 for $6.00 
ALL-AMERICAN~—S. C. (Salem). Here is another outstanding dah- 
lia you will like to grow. In color it is mulberry rose, suffused 
salmon with wax yellow at base of petals. The petals twist 
somewhat and point in all directions. Bushes are strong, sturdy 
growers, attaining to a height of six to seven feet, are very pro- 
lific of immense blooms which are held almost at top of straight 
stems. This is a very hardy variety and blooms are nearly as 
large when grown without fertilizer as when forced. 
Was awarded the A. H. A. medal at the Wisconsin State Show 
at Milwaukee, was the most outstanding specimen bloom at both 
Peekskill and Poughkeepsie, was first Semi-Cactus at Central 
States Show, and blue ribbon winner in several other shows. 
Roots each $7.50, Plants each $2.50 
CROWNING GLORY~—I. C. (Salem). This dahlia upon opening has 
somewhat the appearance of a Semi-Cactus type, but as the bloom 
becomes more fully developed the edges of the petals fall back 
and roll, forming quills which gradually incurve. The color is 
rose-pink with cream centre, blooms are 12 inches and over with 
good depth, and are held high out of the foliage on strong, 
straight stems. Height of plant averages between 6 and 7 feet. 
Foliage good. This spectacular Cactus Dahlia is without a rival 
in its type, and has the distinction of winning the A. H. A. Medal 
at both Peekskill, (N. Y.), and Washington, D. C., and the $50 
Government Bond at the latter place. Was a Gold Medal winner 
at the A. D. S. Show at the World's Fair. and first in the Court 
of Honor at the N. N. J. Soc. Show.
