EMPHASIS ON CUT FLOWER VARIETIES 
We have noted a definite trend toward Dahlias of 
medium size and great substance for use as cut flow- 
ers for the home. Dahlia fanciers prefer the large ex- 
hibition types. The average home gardener has shown 
a marked preference for medium size flowers that will 
lend themselves to cut flower arrangements. We are 
featuring, therefore; new varieties of outstanding 
merit as cut flowers. 
EXCLUSIVE 1947 INTRODUCTIONS 
Dave Platt. A formal Decorative to Ball type. Winner 
of a Gold Medal at the New York Florists’ Club 
Meeting, October, 1946. First Prize Winner in 
seedling class at Jamaica, Long Island, 1945. On 
Flower Grower Magazine Honor Roll. Pure white of 
perfect form with flush of mallow-pink at center, 
opening to pure white. Without doubt one of the 
most satisfactory cut flower varieties, of extremely 
vigorous growth and fine branching habit. Will pro- 
duce upwards of 35 to 40 disbudded blooms per 
plant in one growing season. If not disbudded, an 
uncountable amount of bloom can be had. Ex- 
tremely early, it continues blooming until killing 
frost. Reasonably priced for a new introduction at 
$5.00 per tuber; $2.50 per plant. 
Betsy L. (Illustrated on page 49.) Tyrian rose and 
pink shaded orange-buff, beautifully appointed 
petals. An attractive medium size Dahlia on fine, 
strong stems with flowers facing upward. Very pro- 
lific producer; insect resisting foliage. Price: $3.50 
per tuber.

excelled for cutting. One plant will produce enough 
cut flowers for average home requirements. A rich 
blending of pink and bronze with lavender over- 
tones. Fully double flower of great lasting quality.
