Giant BALLAY Dahlias 
Since 1920 
OUR NEW INTRODUCTION FOR 1952 
(Illustrated on front cover) 
DEE CEE—Informal Decorative. Maize yellow to Indian yellow at the 
center (according to the Maytrott color chart). A sensational new giant 12 
to 14 inches in diameter by 7 to 8 inches in depth. This dahlia is a free and 
an early bloomer, most brilliantly colored, on the best of stems. Keeps well 
on the bush as well as when cut, and is improved if anything when the 
weather is on the warm side. At the San Francisco Show in 1950 it won 
both the American Home Achievement Medal and the Sunset Magazine 
Medal, grown and exhibited by Mr. D. C. Schroeder, head gardener at 
Stanford University. Although a good root maker, it was withheld frora 
the market because of insufficient stock. It is included in the Eastern Honor 
Roll of Flower Grower for 1951. While we have a number of promising 
developments undergoing our severe test, this is our only introduction for

MARK TWAIN—Informal Decorative. Bright red boldly tipped white 
This appears definitely to be the best bi-color of them all. We have re- 
ceived many flattering reports on its performance the past season. The 
combination of color is fascinating and there is no variation in the blooms, 
about one-third of each petal at the tip being of purest white. Formation 
is artistic and unusual for this class with petals slightly curled and full to 
the center. Average size 10 to 11 inches with proportionate depth. Blooms 
early and freely on good stems. Medium height. On 1950 Flower Grower

ROYAL PACIFIC—Formal Decorative. Violet purple of the blue tone. A 
true formal that is outstanding because of its rare and distinctive coloring. 
The large bloom is made up of many regularly placed well-cupred petals, 
leaving no question as to its classification. Stems are long and strong, 
holding the flowers up perfectly above the dark ornamental foliage. Con- 
tinues in excellent condition under all weather conditions until the very
