DESIRABLE 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS 
For 1943 

The following new additions to the Dahlia world have 
been tried and tested for several seasons, and we are con- 
fident you will be well pleased to see them growing in 
your own gardens this coming season. 
WAKE ISLAND (Hulin)—Large dark red informal with 
violet veins on the reverse which is very pronounced 
at the center. Rugged insect proof bush with dark 
green foliage. Long stems with blooms facing. A 
cross of Man o’ War on Wenoka. Winner of several 
ribbons and Sunset Medal at Tacoma and Seattle, 
Wash. This variety has not done so good in New York 
City, but reports from other sections are fine. With 
us it has been good for four seasons.

WANDA MEADE (Parrella-Hulin) —This lovely medium- 
sized Bi-Color graced our planting the past season and 
was good all the way. Visitors could not pass it by. 
The color is bright scarlet (and we mean bright), tipped 
with white. Several medals and special awards to its 
credit in the East. Bush about four feet and blooms 
all season. Extra good as a cut flower, as the stems 
are long and the keeping qualities fine.

AILSA BELLE (Hulin)—Informal decorative of clear 
raspberry red, with just a shade lighter on reverse. 
The petals are long and wave nicely. Size is just right 
for cut flowers and decorations, from 7 to 9 inches on 
stems 18 to 24 inches long. Perfectly tight centers all 
season. A basket of these won the Sunset Medal for 
us at Seattle the past season. A tong-time keeper as a

AMELIA S. (Smith-Hulin)—Informal of large size. This 
is a California chance seedling that resembles Azura 
in color, but has none of the faults of the latter. The 
size is what you make it, from 10 to 14 inches on long 
stiff stems. The color is deeper than Azura and holds 
well in any weather. Bush is very rugged, well branch- 
ed, of an average height of 5 ft. Has won many ribbons 
in the seedling classes of California the past three sea- 
sons, and the splendid keeping quality makes this a 
very desirable variety. We offer this with every con- 
fidence that it will please the most exacting Dahlia

Deep rose pink with splotches and stripes of white. 
The size is ideal for commercial work, from 7 to 9 
inches with extra stiff stems. Plenty of flowers at all 
times. A basket of 40 blooms won “or us at the Seattle 
show, and was the attractive point of the show. The 
fine qualities of this number will make it a favorite for 
the cut-flower trade when better known. You will
