VAL'S YELLOW A-SC-Y (Veirs-Rocky Riverj 
A large yellow semi cactus that was one 
of the late Val Veirs' favorite seedlings. 
Tall, free branching plants produce 
many ten to twelve inch blooms with- 
out forcing. One of the easiest to grow 
large yellows we have had, but one 
which we do not recommend be fed 
heavily. Size 10x5. 
Root $1.50, Pot Root $1.00 
V-DAY A-ID-Pk (Hendricks) A new color 
of mulberry-rose. Blooms are large with 
good depth. Plants are vigorous and 
free branching. A profuse bloomer. 
Size 9x4!/>. 
Pot Root $1.00 
VAL'S YELLOW : 
VICTORY A-FD-Pk (Asther) Here is a large dahlia with good depth that is very for- 
midable in the formal pink class, as well as being a very pleasing variety in the 
garden. The color is rose-pink with a golden suffusion. Tall plants producing 
many fine blooms. Size 8x4. Root $1.00 
VICTORY ECLIPSE A-ID-Pk (Wolfe) One of the better 1948 introductions. The color 
is shrimp pink turning to peach pink as the bloom develops; the base of the petals 
and the reverse are canary yellow. A beautiful velvety sheen overlays the flower 
giving it an artificial appearance. Petals roll back to the stem. A clean grower 
and consistent in the production of quality blooms. Size 9x6. 
Root $2.00, Pot Root $1.50, Plant $1.00 
VIRGINIA B. TAGGERT A-FD-Pk (Pape- 
Rocky River) We believe that this big, 
pink formal is another sure-fire winner 
by the originator of "Mrs. Hester A. 
Pape". Blooms are normally about 
eleven inches in diameter by five and a 
half inches in depth. Stems are strong 
and erect, twelve to fourteen inches in 
length, holding flower at a forty-five de- 
gree angle. Blooms have good sub- 
stance, holding the form well. Ideal 
type plants with heavy foliage and well 
spaced nodes. Size | 1x5!/o. 
Root $3.00, Plant $1.50 
VIRGINIA RUTE A-SC-DkR  (Siebrecht) 
One of the outstanding dahlias in our 
list. Flowers are very large, deep, vel- 
vety, dark red of neat formation. Petals 
are broad and rolled to a point at the 
tips. Plants are tall, with blooms held 
high above the foliage on excellent 
stems. Early bloomer. Also a good 
root-maker. Size !1xé. 
Root $1.00
