MARY JO  A-C-DkR_ (Beals-Boyle-Rocky 
River) 1949. One of the richest red 
colors in our list. A medium dark red 
with a velvety sheen. Petals have very 
good substance, the plants are good 
growers, and it is a dahlia that every 
visitor to the aqarden stops to see. 
Stems are very strong and rigid, al- 
though at times a bit short on first 
blooms, holding the flowers facing the 
side. Size |0x5. 
Root $5.00, Pot Root $3.50, Plant $2.00 
MARY NOBLE A-FD-L One of the best of 
it's color and type. Phlox pink to 
bright mauve. Blooms have size, depth 
and good quality. Plants vigorous. 
Size 10x6. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
MARY JO 
MARY TAYLOR B-C-Lt BI (Taylor) A fairly large cactus of grenadine pink flushed cream 
and with a yellow center. A good grower and root-maker. Size 8x4. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
MICHIGAN WHITE B-SC-W (Keiser) One of the very best of the white cut-flower 
dahlias. The well formed flowers seem to "pop' out over night on long, strong 
stems. Substance of the flower is excellent, the flower keeping well when cut. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
MICHIGAN ORCHID A-FD-L (Keiser) Nicely formed blooms of clear, dark lavender. 
Long stems carry the flowers well above the tall, spreading plants. Size 9x4. 
Root $2.00, Pot Root $1.50, Plant $1.00 
MISS SAN DIEGO A-IC-Lt Bl (Comstock) One of the finest and most distinctive 
of the 1946 introductions. The nicely placed petals are deeply notched giving added 
character to the blooms. The pleasing color combination of Tyrian pink shading 
lighter and into sulphur yellow at the base of the petals has made it an immediate 
favorite. Size 8x4. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
*MME ELIZABETH SAWYER B-StC-Pk A Holland variety of rose pink. The nicely 
formed flowers, on long slender stems, are a strong factor on the exhibition tables. 
Size 8x3!/>. 
Pot Root $1.50, Plant $1.00 
SEEDLING TRIALS 
Our seedling trials are the most extensive of any in the country. These require a 
great deal of time in observation and keeping of records, so we must request that we 
not be asked to grow your seedling unless you intend that we introduce it, if introduction 
appears to be warranted. Our introductions are grown here at least one year prior to 
being released.
