and strong producers are essential requisites. 
LARGE-FLOWERED DAHLIAS

centered bloom of pure white. Exceptionally free flow- 
ering and is equally good for garden decoration or for 
cutting. A strong, dependable grower. Extra heavy, 
field-grown tubers, $1.00 each.

golden flower with a shading of orange. Extra large

so. The perfectly formed blooms are of a deep, velvety, 
Tyrian rose of great richness. The plants are good 
strong growers with dark green, insect resistant foliage.

the most spectacular Dahlias due to its most brilliant

grown tubers, $0.50 each. 
GOLDEN ECLIPSE. (Formal Decorative.) Of clear 
golden yellow with salmon and flesh shadings at the 
center. Producing fine sturdy plants with the flowers 
carried well above the foliage. This Dahlia has been 
observed by us for a number of years and we consider 
it one of the most reliable. It is a fine cut flower, as 
well as an exhibition variety with wonderful keeping 
qualities. Extra heavy, field-grown tubers, $0.50 each. 
HULIN’S MELODY. (Semi-Cactus.) This exquisite 1941 
introduction is surely a prize winner. It was awarded

yellow with reverse of petals old rose, which blends 
most delightfully into a melody of colors. Produces a 
sturdy plant with long, stiff stems holding 10 to 12 inch
