halo surrounds the bright gold disc ray. The petals 
are very broad with the bud folds in ribbed lines run- 
ning into the pointed tips. When the morning sun- 
shine warms the dew on this dahlia, it has an exquisite 
sweet fragrance. The stems are long and strong, and

BETTY ANN s.c. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 12” x 5”. 
Bush 4’, 
A magnificent dahlia that in color and petal formation 
recalls the radiant, bursting, shower of sparks from a 
brilliantly colored Roman candle. The center is rich 
fuchsia and tightly folded. The wide, very pointed and 
freely placed petals are lighter in tone and suffused 
with silver and orange which bleeds from the exposed 
orange and bright green petal bases. A striking, stately 
flower with all of Floristan Gardens’ Standards. $1.50. 
BLACK DAVE semi-dup. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 22”. 
> Bushee 
This hybrid of Black Cosmos and a Zulu dahlia has 
foliage and stems so very deep a plum that they look 
almost black. The foliage is exceedingly lacy and 
fernlike and is beautiful in itself. The very bright vel- 
vety red petals form a striking flower. Only the outer 
ring of the disc ray throws a halo of ruby marked yellow 
antlers; the balance of the disc ray is tightly closed 
and a deep garnet. A profuse bloomer and a very in-

BLUE HORIZON i.d. (Tryon-Franklin) Bloom 10” x 4”.

Winner of the American Home Achievement Medal and 
Honor Roll Dahlia. The large French violet blooms 
have a decided blue cast. The long petals are pointed 
and the centers are absolutely tight. A good stiff stem 
holds the flower well out of the foliage. Low branch- 
ing laterals. This has been a consistent prize winner in 
the Pacific Northwest. Excellent keeping qualities on

BOBBE DEANE {f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 8” x 6”. 
Bush 7” 
Storrs Connecticut Trial Gardens says it is “geranium 
pink with maize yellow”. East Lansing, Michigan, Trial 
Gardens says it is a “La France pink with warm buff”. 
At any rate, the color is exquisite and the flower is as 
hardy and strong as it is beautiful. A wonderful keeper. 
Under trial as a cut flower, it was kept by the United 
Florists for 18 days in good condition. By hundreds of 
professional men it is considered the best cut flower 
ever produced. A generous bloomer......:....: $3.00 
BRIDESMAID f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 8” x 7”. 
Bush 6’. 
Silvery pink with the silver showing in the veinings and 
in a sheen over the broad and pointed petals. These 
twist and turn to such a degree as they ball toward the 
back that this dahlia also could be called an Informal. 
Foliage is a bright green. This is one of our favorites as 
it has all the fine Floristan Gardens’ good points. $1.00. 
CAVALCADE f.d. Bloom 8” x 5”. Bush 5%’. 
An exquisite flower in a rosy mulberry with a golden 
sheen. The many petals are narrow and pointed, the 
center tight and low. The bloom faces out and slightly 
up on long, straight stems. Foliage is very stiff and
