FORTY-NINER — Semi-cactus. Bright yellow. As picture indicates, this is a 
huge semi-cactus with all petals definitely incurved. The plant is of medium 
height, well branched and prolific, with ornamental fern-like foliage. Blooms 
measuring 11 to 12 inches are not uncommon and their placement on the long 
straight stems is ideal for all purposes. It received an Award of Merit in the 
seedling class at the 1948 Mid-West Show at Milwaukee, grown and exhibited 
by Mr. George R. Currie of Sheboygan, Wis., and is also included in the East- 
ern Honor Roll in Flower Garden. The yellow semi-cactus class needs a new

KING OF THE WHITES — Informal Decorative. Clear glistening white. We be- 
lieve this striking new white is exactly what the name implies. It has great 
size, 12 inches or more in diameter, with that full petal formation similar to 
California Idol. Some late blooms may be inclined toward semi-cactus, but it 
belongs in the informal decorative class. A quality it possesses that is par- 
ticularly noteworthy is that it is not soiled by heat or moisture. Blooms are 
produced early and freely on a strong sturdy plant with foliage of leather-like 
texture. Another and a better Gaylord white... _....§15.00 Net

MAYFAIR — Informal Decorative. True bright pink with a white center. The 
laciniated petals of this variety give it unusual beauty and interest. Nine inches 
in diameter is about as large as it grows but it is artistically formed and has 
good depth. Blooms freely over a long period. Its performance was very good 
growing on trial at Sheboygan, Wis. Unfortunately our picture of it was

SAVINA — Incurved Cactus. Bright salmon shading to golden yellow at base 
of petals and at center of flower. A husky growing plant producing nice large 
cactus blooms on good stems. Color is very pleasing and strikes the popular 
fancy. Some cactus dahlias are tempermental as to foliage but this one is not. 
We believe it will prove to be a new dahlia that is well worthwhile. On Eastern
