DAVE PLATT 
DAVE PLATT F. D. to Ball (Fioretti-Parrella)—Color, white with flush of 
mallow pink at center. In offering this dahlia, we believe that we have 
one of the finest florist dahlias. I’m sure this will replace some of the 
existing varieties. Judging from the request of the New York Florist Club, 
which was as follows: “The judges indicated that they would like to see 
this exhibit again with the required 25 blooms as it has unusual merit.” 
Average blooms three to four inches. A vigorows grower with fine branch- 
ing habit. Plenty blooms can be cut from this variety throughout the 
season, very early bloomer. We believe this is one of the finest cut flowers 
for the florist trade. Root $1.00 
DELROSE (Slocum-Dixie) I. D.—10 in. x 6 in. White with yellow border on 
each side of petal. The deep yellow border gives the blooms plenty of 
contrast. Received Certificate of Merit, East Lansing in 1941. On Midwest 
Honor Roll 1942. Due to the illness and death of Mr. Slocum it was not 
introduced at that time. Root $4.00 Plant $2.00 
DREAM GIRL I. D. (Kelly-Parrella)—Color, cadmium yellow and flame scarlet 
blend. Lots of substance, thick wrinkled and pointed petals. Plant, vigorous 
grower with fine branching habit. Can cut from 15 to 20 blooms or more 
from a single plant. Average size from 7 to 9 inches on cane-like stem. 
Flowers facing and on top. Height of plant 5 feet. 
Root $4.00 Plant $2.00
