DAHLIADEL 1945 INTRODUCTIONS, Small Varieties 
JUBILANT (Dahliadel 86M), M ID, Bloom 3 x 2, 
Bush 31% ft. We believe this is the first dahlia win- 
ning the Derrill W. Hart Memorial Gold Medal to 
score 85 and better in all 4 Official Trial Grounds 
the same year, with an average of 85.6. It scored 
85.5 at Storrs, 85 at O.V.D.A., 86 at W. Va. and 
86 at E. Lansing, which assures you of its wonder- 
ful performance under various conditions. This 
little Miniature appeals to us above all other Min- 
iature seedlings we have ever grown. Makes a gay 
bright spot in any garden. Color is cherry red, in- 
clined orange, with a lighter reverse. There is just 
no end of blooms, and the picture taken in late 
October shows its ability to hold perfect centers. 
Root, $5.00; Pot Root, $3.75; Plant, $2.50
