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 garden 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 $3.00, Pot Root $2.25, Plant $1.50 
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 Bl (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 B-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!/>. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00, Plant .75 
FRAGEY PRUNING SHEARS 
We have a limited supply of these fine imported pruning shears; highly satis- 
factory for dividing dahlia clumps. Sturdily made of high grade tool steel, we have 
found them very durable, as well as the most satisfactory dividing shears we have ever 
used. Two sharp cutting blades, in contrast to the usual one of domestic shears, 
eliminates bruising of tissues adjacent to the cut. Blades are properly shaped to pre- 
vent slipping. Much faster and easier to use than knives, and can cut nearly as close 
as knives. Ideal for all pruning purposes. Price $5.50 post paid while present supply 
lasts. Sold with a money back guarantee if not fully satisfied after seeing them.
