Crumand Decorative Dablias 
The American Dahlia Society has adopted a classification of all Dahlias 
according to the formation of the flowers, and after each name we give 
a key showing the class to which the variety belongs. Thus: F. D.—Formal 
Decorative; |. D.—Informal Decorative; C.—Cactus; S$. C.—Semi-Cactus; 
St. C.—Straight Cactus. 
Alice Green. (I. D.) Each 25c 
Beautiful rich golden bronzy buff, one of the very largest Dahlias grown, 
flowers from 7 to 10 inches in diameter, and 4 to 6 inches thick, making 
a tremendous flower. Stems very strong and stiff, making it ideal for 
cutting and decorative purposes, as well as one of the largest and best 
for exhibition. 
Ambassador. (C.) Each 60c 
An outstanding Dahlia at many of the Dahlia exhibitions, and consid- 
ered by many as being one of the best and most artistic of recent 
Dahlia introductions. Its color is, perhaps, best described as a_ soft 
yellow at the center, with salmon, amber, and pink shadings, gradually 
deepening towards the tips. The flowers are of largest size and are set 
just right on perfect stems. A strong grower and free bloomer. 
Amelia Earhart. (S. C.) Each 60c 
Apricot-buff, with salmon tints, shading to soft yellow at bases of petals; 
exceptionally large blooms on good stems. 
Andreas Hofer. (C.) Each 50c 
One of the loveliest colors in the Dahlia world, without question the 
finest of the pink Cactus Dahlias in existence. In color, the sweetest 
shade of rich bright pink, blending to sulphur-yellow at the center. Stems 
are long and stiff, making it ideal for cutting and decorative purposes. 
A splendid keeper when cut, and one that lends itself beautifully to 
arrangement in baskets and floral arrangements generally. Recommended 
very highly for all commercial purposes. 
Ann Benedict. (I. D.) Each 40c 
This variety is the most satisfactory dark red we have grown. The color 
is a deep rich garnet with black shadings. Certified at Storrs with high 
score of 86.6. 
Ballego’s Glory. (F. D.) Each 60c 
Of compact growth and very vigorous. The flowers are a beautiful combi- 
nation of scarlet and gold. 
California Idol. (I. D.) Each 60c 
A clear, bright self-colored yellow that ranks in size with the largest. 
It may be grown to measure 14 inches or more across, with a correspond- 
ing depth, and yet is an extremely refined flower in every sense. This 
variety has proved to be all that was anticipated when grown in the 
open field. 
Classic. (I. D.) Each 60c 
This Dahlia, although classed as an Informal is inclined to be Formal at 
times. Blooms are uniform, large and artistic on long, strong, erect stems. 
Flesh-pink with lighter shadings. 
City of Trenton. (I. D.) Each 30c 
A beautiful autumn tint of bronzy red shaded with salmon. The plants 
are strong and vigorous. 


Countess of Lonsdale. (C.) Each 40c 
This favorite from England has always been one of the most popular for 
cut flower and decorative purposes. Most abundant blooms. 
Dahliadel Gold. (F. D.) Each 60c 
Monstrous flowers often measuring 11 inches in diameter; a beautiful 
golden yellow shaded darker in the center and with light coral-red 
suffusion. 
Dorcas Ann. (S. C.) Each 60c 
A Dahlia you will enjoy for its sheer beauty rather than size. This Dahlia 
is adapted to home decorations, general florist’s use, basket and arrange- 
ment classes in the show room, as it is a beautiful rose-pink shading to 
creamy white at center. Bush, healthy and robust; stems always erect and 
flowering habit ideal. 
Dwight W. Morrow. (I. D.) Each 60c 
Gigantic deep red informal decorative. A healthy grower with heavy 
foliage that matches the splendid, large massive flowers. 
Edna Ferber. (S. C.) Each 50c 
Glistening gold shading to rose-gold at the base of the petals. Always 
very much admired for its size and color. 
Elite Glory. (F. D.) Each 30c 
Very large blooms of glossy, brilliant red color. 
Forest Fire. (1. D.) Each 50c 
One of the most spectacular Dahlias introduced in years. Flowers of an 
unusually artistic form, lemon-yellow at base of petals, heavily tipped 
rich scarlet and enhanced with yellow petaloids. Bush is sturdy and 
strong, with leathery, insect-resistant foliage. 
Fort Monmouth. (I. D.) Each 50c 
One of the giants of the Dahlia world. In color it is a rich crimson- 
maroon, with a faint tint of bluish violet at tips of petals. An immense 
flower, frequently 13 inches in diameter, and borne on long, strong 
stems, well above the foliage. Excellent Dahlia for exhibition. 
Francis Larocco. (F. D.) Each 25c 
One of the finest yellow decorative Dahlias with large deep flowers on 
long stems.

This is one of the best yellow commercial Cactus Dahlias grown. Color 
clear golden yellow, shading to soft salmon-rose in the outside petals.

centers and evenly arranged petals. Stem holds flower facing at right 
angles, which shows up well in the garden.

Large, pure white flowers on fine long stems reaching 3 feet or more. 
Hunt’s Velvet Wonder. (I. D.) Each 60c

blooms, full centers, and of great depth. Winner of American Home 
Achievement Medal in New York.
