DAHLIAS IN 1942 
During the growing season of 1942 we were indeed fortunate in having 
plenty of rainfall. As a result of this the fields were a riot of color from Septem- 
ber till frost. 
Cut-flowers were shipped in quantity in August with Begonia Rose, Golden 
City, Scarlet Leader, Michigan White, Queen City and Clariam. Later other 
varieties began producing namely—Mrs. Albin, East Row, Shining One, Cherokee 
Rose, Gretel, King Peter, Marie, Nancy Mitchell, Producer, Marshal Kernochan, 
Andries Orange, Nellie Shee and Yellow Kitten. 
Our trial and show garden was planted mostly with seedlings. “Commando,” 
King Kong, and Monarch were supreme here. Daisy Mae, Yellow Kitten and 
Nellie Shee were outstanding among the miniatures. These are the three best 
miniatures we’ve seen since Buckeye Baby. 
Among the ’*42 introductions, East Row; Dean Shurtleff, Stephen Foster, 
Regalia, Mother Cabrini, Mother Hendricks and Dorothy Hertel were the best. 
Of the many new Australians the following were excellent: Jack Baldwin, 
Svdney, Fernie Elite and Axford Triumph.
