FORMOSA (Salem) This was one of our personal favorites of the past season. The 
blooms are fairly large, and the color is a very clean, attractive amaranth pink 
shading to Tyrian pink. It is a bright flower on strong stems, and the bushes are 
rugged. Not yet classified by A.D.S. but it would seem to be A-FD-Pi. Size 9x4. 
Plant $1.00 
*FRAU IDA MANSFIELD A or B-StC-Y. A very attractive, pale lemon yellow that is 
always a favorite in our gardens. The flower is very deep and large for this type. 
The tips of the petals are cleft giving the flower added character and the 
appearance of having many more petals than there actually are. Early. Tall. 
Size 8x4. Root $1.50, Plant .75 
*FRAU O. BRACHT A or B-SC or IC-Y. This dahlia should be in every garden. We 
consider it one of the finest on the market. The perfectly formed flowers are a 
clear, light, primrose, yellow of good size. A fine dahlia for the exhibitor or casual 
grower. Size 8x4. Root $1.00, Pot Root .75, Plant .50 
*FREDA GEORGE A or B-ID-BI. A large 
Australian variety which attained in- 
stant popularity in this country. Artis- 
tically formed and delicately colored, 
and with all the characteristics of a 
good exhibition variety, its popularity 
is justified. The color is a soft, creamy 
pink, overlaid helio, darker toward the 
tips and shading to a deep cream at 
the base. Early and prolific. Size 9!/>x5. 
Plant .75 
FRIEDA GAYLORD A-ID-BIl (Ballay) A 
magnificent dahlia of remarkable size. 
The color is rosy pink lightly shaded 
gold. Sturdy plants produce the large 
blooms on nice strong stems which hold 
the flower well above the plant. Size 
FREDA GEORGE 1 2x7. Plant $2.50 

GAYLORD BALLAY A-ID-W (Ballay) This is one of the largest of the informal 
"whites."’ Blooms exceeding twelve inches in diameter are not uncommon. Long, 
strong stems carry the blooms well above the tall plants. Although not an early 
bloomer, it should be ''topped’' when small to encourage lateral development. 
Size 10x5. Root $2.00, Pot Root $1.50, Plant $1.00 
GEN. JOHN J. PERSHING A-SC-BI or Var (Ward-Ruschmohr) A sport of Virginia 
Rute with all the characteristics of that great variety. The general color effect is 
tan. Petals are striped and splashed violet. Tall grower and good bloomer. 
Size | 1x6. Root $2.00, Pot Root $1.50, Plant $1.00 
GINGER ROGERS A-ID-Y (Ruschmohr) A very large, deep yellow of a most attractive 
shade. Blooms have very great depth, being nearly ''ball-shaped'’ when mature. 
A free bloomer. Plants are vigorous with good foliage. We believe this is one 
which will be with us for some years. Size 9!/>x6. Root $2.00, Plant $1.00 
GLAMOUR A-ID-Pu (Salem) A notable addition to the really large dahlias. Everything 
about the flower suggests size and vigor. It is a variety which anyone seems to 
be able to grow well under almost all conditions. The very large flowers are an 
unusual shade of light purple with each petal edged amaranth pink. The petals 
roll well back giving the flower extreme depth. A consistent winner at the best 
shows in both specimen bloom and “largest bloom in the show" classes. Size 12x7.. 
Root $1.50, Plant .75
