THE REAL GLORY A-FD-W (Goodacre) A pure waxy white of good size, notable for 
its exceptional substance and good keeping qualities. The flowers are well formed 
and are carried nicely on perfect stems. It is a real competitor in the white for- 
mal classes. Strong grower. 
Root $1.50, Plant .75 
THOMAS A. EDISON A or B-FD-Pu (Dahliadel) Still one of the best in the formal 
purple class. The color is a lively shade of royal purple. Flowers are fairly large. 
Root .75 
TOP FLIGHT A-SC or ID-R (Dozier) A fairly large bloom of very "neat and trim" 
appearance. The color is bright blood red, which does not fade even in the 
hottest weather. Stems are long, holding the flower facing slightly up. Bushes are tall. 
Root $1.50, Plant .75 
TOPS A-ID-Y (Dozier) A real giant of the 
exhibition tables. The massive blooms 
are a clear yellow of one shade. Stems 
are good. Has won many awards as 
the largest bloom in the show. A well 
"finished" bloom has a decided ten- 
dency to be semi-cactus. 
Root $2.00, Plant $1.00 
TUXEDO A-ID-R (Beaver) Fairly large 
blooms of cardinal red, lightly tipped 
and edged gold and with a silver re- 

verse. Consistent in its growing habits.

Y-DAY A-ID or SC-BI (Hendricks) A new color of mulberry-rose. Blooms are large 
with good depth. Plants are vigorous and free branching. A profuse bloomer. 
Root $7.50, Plant $2.50 
VICTORY A or B-FD-Pi or BI (Asther) Here is a large dahlia with good depth that is 
very formidable in the formal pink class, as well as being a very pleasing variety 
in the garden. The color is rose-pink with a golden suffusion. Tall plants producing 
many fine blooms. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50 
VIRGINIA RUTE A-ID or SC-R (Siebrecht) One of the outstanding dahlias in our list. 
Flowers are very large, deep, velvety, dark red of neat formation. Petals are broad 
and rolled to a point at the tips. Plants are tall, with blooms held high above 
the foliage on excellent stems. Early bloomer. Also a good root-maker. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50
