*FREDA GEORGE |. D. A large Australian 
variety which attained instant popularity 
in this country. Artistically formed and 
delicately colored, and with all the 
characteristics of a good exhibition 
variety, its popularity is justified. The 
color is a soft, creamy pink, overlaid 
helio, darker toward the tips and shading 
to a deep cream at the base. Early 
and prolific. Root $1.00, Plant .50 
GINGER ROGERS I. D. (Ruschmohr) A 
very large, deep, yellow of a most at- 
tractive shade. Blooms have very 
great depth, being nearly  "ball- 
shaped'' when mature. A free bloomer. 
Plants are vigorous with good foliage. 
We believe this is one which will be 
FREDA GEORGE with us for some years. 

Plant $2.50 
GLAMOUR |. D. (Salem) A notable addition to the really large dahlias. Everything 
about the flower suggests size and vigor. It is a variety which anyone seems to 
be able to grow well under almost all conditions. The very large flowers are an 
unusual shade of light purple with each petal edged amaranth pink. The petals 
roll well back giving the flower extreme depth. A consistent winner at the best 
shows in both specimen bloom and “largest bloom in the show'' classes. 
Root $1.50, Plant .50 
GOLDEN BEAUTY |. D. (Silvernale) A very large, shaggy flower of apricot yellow, 
splashed jasper pink, giving a pinkish yellow tone to the whole. Long stems hold 
the flower on the side. Tall. 
Plant .50 
GOLDEN STANDARD In. C. (Downs) A large, exhibition cactus of golden tan, with 
bronze shadings. It is undoubtedly the leading autumn colored cactus of recent 
years, for exhibition. Tall. 
Root .50, Plant .50 
GRAND MASTER F. D. (Caldwell) A really large, massive bloom of deep bronze, 
shading to orange at the center. Low spreading bushes are always covered with 
the large striking flowers from early in the season. Foliage is heavy and dark. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50 
BEST COMMERCIAL DISPLAY 
Cleveland, O., 1941 
At the local show of the Dahlia Society of Ohio at Hotel Carter in Cleveland, on 
September 13th and |4th, our commercial display was again the winner of first place 
and the beautiful Dahlia Society of Ohio silver trophy. 
SWEEPSTAKES 
Cleveland, O., 1941 
In addition to winning "best commercial display’) award at the Cleveland show, 
we also won sweepstakes and gold trophy for scoring the most points in open-to-all 
competition. Thirty-four firsts and twenty-three seconds, totaling one hundred and 
forty-eight points, gave us a point score of nearly one hundred more than our nearest 
competitor. It was also one of the highest point scores ever amassed by any com- 
petitor at this strong show. Likewise, it was also the first time that any exhibitor has 
won "best commercial'' and sweepstakes in this show in one year.
