Giant BALLAY Dahlias 
Since 1920 
OUR NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1950 
(Illustrated on front cover) 
CALIFORNIA CENTENNIAL — Informal decorative. Buff yellow with the 
color somewhat accentuated at the center. An oval shaped bloom aver- 
aging in size about 12 x7. It is a seedling of California Pageant, the habits 
of which it resembles in many respects. The plant growth is similar with 
the same strong, straight stems holding the flower in good position, and 
the color and form of the bloom itself characterizes it as a new variety 
in this desirable shade that will be hard to surpass. Unquestionably it 
is the outstanding variety from the West this year. It was the American 
Home Achievement Medal Winner at the San Francisco Show, grown 
and exhibited by Mr. J. L. Gaylord. It is also on Mr. Lynn B. Dudley’s 
1949 Dahlia Roll of Honor in Flower Grower. Strong divisions, $15.00 Net.

NINA WARREN — Semi-cactus. Bright rosy purple. At last a nice new 
purple semi-cactus of large size. Many who have seen it consider it a 
real find. The rather tall plant is a mass of blooms all season. Few 
dahlias have greater charm whether for garden purposes, exhibition or 
cutting, and it is in a color class much needed. This is a variety that 
will thrive in warm weather and is not improved by shading or covering. 
Named for the wife of the Governor of California. Incidentally, Mrs. War- 
ren stated on seeing it that this is her favorite color. .
