’ CALIFORNIA IDOL A-ID-Y (Ballay) A 
1 giant, clear yellow that can win in any 
class of competition. We consider it 
the easiest of the big exhibition yellows 
to grow. The flowers have great depth 
and are set facing, on exceptionally 
long stems.

large well formed flower of peculiar 
shadings of emberglow with a golden 
sheen and a sweetbriar reverse. Stems 
are excellent, holding the flower facing 
up. Recommended to those who like 
their dahlias big.

CHALLENGER (Chappaqua) A lively, bril- 
liant cardinal red with gold at the 
base of the petals, and some white 
petaloids throughout the flower. Very 
showy in the garden and it is as a 
garden sort that we recommend it.

and much needed at shows. This one fills the need nicely. Fairly large blooms of 
good substance. Stems are ideal and the plant is a good grower. Plant $1.50 
CHEER LEADER B-ID-L or Pi (Richardson) Outstanding because of its free flowering 
trait under all conditions. Blooms are fairly large and have very good substance; 
keeping well on the plant and after cutting. Stems are ideal. The color is 
rose-pink. Root $1.00, Plant .50

exhibition "reds.'' The large, deep flowers are an attractive shade of ox-blood red, 
which holds the color well in hot weather. It blooms quite early and continues 
throughout the entire season. Excellent stems and foliage. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50

freely branching. Flowers keep well, either on the bush or after cutting.
