General List of World’s Best Dahlias 
*ADOLPH MAYER A-ID or SC-R. This excellent variety from Holland comes nearer to 
being black than any dahlia in this list. The deep garnet red flowers are of good 
size; the petals have a velvety appearance and it keeps well when cut. Stems 
are ideal. A strong, freely branching plant, with dark green foliage. Abundant 
flowering habits. It is also a good root maker. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50 
* ALICE MAY A-ID-W. This one from 
Australia might well be described as 
a white Lord of Autumn. The blooms 
are large and of great depth. Stems, 
foliage, and substance are excellent. 
The low growing plants produce many 
fine exhibition blooms. We consider it 
the finest of all the large ‘whites." A 
very consistent winner at leading shows.

ALL AMERICAN A-SC-BI (Salem) A very 
large flower of mulberry rose suffused 
salmon and with wax yellow at the base 
of petals. Plants are medium in height, 
very vigorous and insect resistant. 
Blooms are held almost on top ot- 
strong, straight stems. A very free 
bloomer which was one of the greatest

in a class by itself, winning innumer- 
able prizes wherever shown.
