to the stem forming a massive flower. Stems are excellent. Plants tall. Size 9x4.

TERRY A-SC-L (Zazo) One of the most dis- 
tinctively formed dahlias we have ever 
seen. The petals are long and narrow 
with serrated tips; rolling back to the 
stem in the manner of a deep informal 
decorative, but they are revolute as 
in cactus types. The flowers are large 
and correspondingly deep. The color 
varies from orchid-pink to pure lavender. 
Plants are low but of sturdy growth.

bright cardinal red. Plants are tall,

well out of the foliage on perfect stems.

THE GOVERNOR A-FD-Y (Dahliadel) A large, bright, sulphur yellow, which is definitely 
a formal. True formals are scarce and this is a welcome addition. The petals are 
broad and turn back at the tips, giving the flower good depth. One of the leading 
winners in its class the past season. Size 9x4. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
THE RANGER B-IC-Lt Bl (Salem) The color is true purple with white veins running the 
length of the petals: reverse is pure white, which shows on the face as the bloom 
matures and the petals roll and incurve. A dahlia for beauty as well as exhibition 
Blooms are medium in size. Bushes tall. Size 8x4. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
THE REAL GLORY A-FD-W (Goodacre) A pure waxy white of good size, notable for 
its exceptional substance and good keeping qualities. The flowers are well formed 
and are carried nicely on perfect stems. It is a real competitor in the white for- 
mal classes. Strong grower. Size 9x4. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
RED SPIDER CONTROL 
Parathion, sold under various trade names, proved to be highly satisfactory for the 
control of ''red spider," and nearly all dahlia pests, where ever it was used during the 
past season. Combined, or alternated with DDT, it is the nearest to being ideal of 
any pesticide yet put on the market. See Cultural Hints, under "Red Spider Mite" on 
page 54, 
Parathion, when sold under a trade name, always has the name ‘'Parathion" appear- 
ing on the package. Look for the name when buying to be sure you get what you want.
