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 
*DEUIL du ROI ALBERT B-FD-Bi. Pansy purple tipped white to a marked 
variable degree. Petals are rather narrow and long. Stems are slender and 
erect. Free Flowering. Size 7x3!/y. 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 $3.00 Plant $1.50 
DIXIE’S WINE DOT I. D.—A clear white flecked and splashed with wine red. 
Similar to Haslerova, except that it is more informal and larger. Blooms 
average 10” to 12”. Stems are long and stiff on a 5 to 7 foot bush. 
Root $2.00 
DR. KENNETH TAYLOR I. D. (Fioretti-Parrella)—This is an unusually fine 
dahlia which produces plenty of fine blooms, averaging 8 to 9 inches in 
diameter with great depth. It is a pleasure to grow as the plant is perfect, 
stem is excellent, foliage, insect resistant and blooms are held facing and on 
top of best of stems. Color, scarlet red with bronze sheen and reverse of 
orange buff, showing as petals twist. Height, 4 to 5 feet. Root $2.00
