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 vigorous 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 
IMPORTANT 
For home use or florist’s trade, do not overlook these four (4) 
medium sized dahlias Gay-Gypsy Girl Dave Platt and Ruby Glow. 
These are wonderful producers of blooms on fine long stems, also 
good keepers after being cut. Truly a gold mine for the florist trade. 
Gay & Dave Platt received a gold medal at the New York Florist 
Club—Gypsy Girl and Ruby Glow are a fine companion to the others 
in the color class and a true prize winner at the Show. 
SPECIAL NOTICE 
If there is any variety that you’re interested in and don’t find listed, write 
to us, we may be able to accommodate you, as we have many more varieties 
but only in small quantities, and that is why we have not listed them.
