FOR 1943 
All Four on the Honor Roll of Flower 
Grower Magazine 
We cannot recommend these four dahlias too 
highly. Each is a great advance in its type, size 
and color. 
GOLD MINE (FD) 
This dahlia has utter perfection of form and 
clear, beautiful color. Pinard yellow, lightly 
shaded coppery pink, especially on reverse. 
Average size of blooms, field grown, is 10-in.x 
5-in. When disbudded for size it grows to 12-in. 
-x 7-in. A medium low grower, the blooms rise 
high out of the bush on magnificent stems, fac- 
ing up and out. There is never a hint of a weak 
or droopy stem. It should have very little com- 
petition on the exhibition table. Roots $10.00 
MONARCH (FD) 
We believe this dahlia to be the finest red formal . 
to date. Reports from others who have grown 
Monarch on trial bear us out. It is a rich blood 
red with a velvety sheen. Most other reds ap- 
pear dirty or faded in comparison. Its average 
field grown size is 7-in.-8-in. x 4-in.6-in. but can 
easily be grown to 10-in. with great depth when 
given a little extra care. It blooms very freely 
over a long season. Facing slightly up. Bushes 
are medium low and the stems are long and 
straight. Freely branching. Besides filing a 
need for a better exhibition formal red, it is tops 
for cutting. Roots $7.50 
CHAUTAUQUA PRINCESS (FD) 
When a dahlia has everything one wishes a 
dahlia to have, and in such superlative degree, 
it seems useless to mention the fine qualities 
separately. Such a dahlia is Chautauqua Prin- 
cess, and we are very happy to offer it to dahlia 
growers. It seems to have no faults. The color 
is a lovely shade of bluish mauve. Blooms aver- 
age 6-in.-8-in. x 4-in.-6-in. in the field but are 
easily increased in size by show garden conditions 
and a minimum of disbudding. It blooms freely on 
stems we don’t believe can be improved. HExcep-
