Bloristan Gardens BEAUTIFUL PEDIGREED DAHLIAS 
Since space in this list is limited we have not endlessly 
repeated descriptions of qualitiés that each of our 
dahlias share. Every FLORISTAN GARDENS PEDI- 
GREED DAHLIA presented here has a long, strong vital 
stem, except one, and the description of this carries nota- 
tion of its short length. Each bloom has good facing 
habits. Each dahlia is strong, healthy and disease-re- 
sistant. In fact, all conform to the finest dahlia standards.

WE RECOMMEND THESE.... 
ALICE DAVIS i.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 8” x 4”. 
Bush 4’, 
This would be the light yellow of first primroses save 
for a faint suggestion of pink. The high pointed center 
is a bright golden yellow. For all its size the flower is 
dainty looking yet it has lots of character and good 
keeping qualities. The foliage is harmoniously light 
green in color and fern-like in deeply cut leaves. .$2.00 
BEAUdY Cc) Bloom 6 x 5. Bush 6. 
This crystal yellow is a beautiful bloom to use as an ac- 
cent in a flower arrangement. The petals are twisting 
and quite incurved. It's one of the best cactus dahlias for 
cut flowers and a gorgeous garden flower........ $1.00 
BLUE HORIZON i.d. (Tryon-Franklin) Bloom 10” x 4”. 
Bush 6’. 
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 
the bush and when used as a cut flower........ $1.50 
BLUE RIVER f.d. (Salem) Bloom 9” x 3”. Bush 4’. 
The nearest to blue in dahlias—a rich, French violet— 
a striking and lovely tone. A good cut flower...... 50c 
BOBBE DEANE f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 8” x 6”. 
Bushee 
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. An outstanding dahlia.......... $2.00

BRIDESMAID f.d. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 8” x 7”. 
Bush 67’. 
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 54’. 
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 heavy....... 50c 
C. F. c. (Floristan Gardens) Bloom 5” x 4”. Bush 6’. 
A rich rose pink. Petals are so tightly revolute that a 
reverse of silver shows only on outer petals, in the tips, 
and near the heart of the bloom, where it blends into 
the chartreuse of the sepals. A constant bloomer— 
Only a slight difference in the size of the flowers early

CHARLES MASTIC f.d. (Mastic) Bloom 8” x 342”. 
Bush 4’. 
A one-toned bloom of a rich golden orange that in some 
seasons shows a pinkish cast. This flower has a fascinat- 
ingly different, stream-lined shape. It does not begin to 
round back until the petals in the last outer rows make a 
sudden sweep stemward. The young unfolding petals 
at the full center are gracefully curled. The maturing 
petals are broad and look as though they were ruffled 
on. An especially fine flower for cutting.......... 75¢c
