CLARA CARDER 
DAHLIAS 
LOIS WALCHER (Formal Decorative) Each .80 
Our most striking bicolor. The 8 inch flowers are rich pansy 
purple heavily tipped white. Unlike others in this class the 
color pattern is remarkably uniform and constant each year. 
Every collection should include this outstanding variety. See 
color illustration on opposite page. 
MAYOR OTIS (Informal Decorative) Each .75 
Massive 12 inch flowers of shaggy formation and one of the 
very biggest varieties. Lustrous blend of coppery gold shaded 
apricot. Bushy plant and blooms keep well in spite of size. 
MONARCH OF THE EAST (Informal Decorative) Each 1.00 
Giant old gold flowers of unusual formation facing upward 
and petals cascading down about the stem. The 12 inch flower 
is a dahlia show all by itself. 
MUSTANG (Cactus) Each .80 
Big 10 inch pink cactus from Australia. Blooms are borne well 
above the foliage on cane like stems. Strong grower. 
NANCY ANN MITCHELL (Cactus) Each 1.00 
Fine red similar to Mother Ballego, but on taller plants and 
much longer stems. Excellent habits. 
PINK GEM (Semi-Cactus) Each .85 
A real pink and one of the sweetest little dahlias we have seen. 
The 4 inch flowers and the fern like foliage are delightful cut 
flower material. 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (Formal Decorative) Each .85 
Striking 10 inch blooms of brightest scarlet. Bush is quite 
massive and for best results should be staked. 
ROSELYN STRAIGHT (Semi-Cactus) Each 1.00 
Huge blooms with a general appearance of deep apricot yellow 
shaded scarlet. Long strong stems support the giant blooms 
well. Illustrated on opposite page. 
SILVER GLAMOR (Informal Decorative) Each 1.50 
Glamorous indeed is this gigantic beauty of soft orchid purple 
with a silver edge on each petal. Flowers are full and deep up 
to one foot in diameter. Distinct from any other in our list. 
THE CARDINAL (Semi-Cactus) Each 2.00 
This gorgeous red giant displaces ‘Top Flight as our favorite 
red dahlia. Blooms up to a foot in diameter are about perfect 
In every respect. 
YELLOW SPIRAL (Semi-Cactus) Each 1.00 
Beautiful deep yellow of intriguing form. The large 8 inch 
flowers are gracefully carried on long stiff stems. Outstand- 
ing.

NANCY ANN MITCHELL (Cactus) 
WINDLASSIE (Informal Decorative) Each 1.25 
We believe this dahlia is just about the nearest thing to per- 
fection. Elegant 10 inch flowers of purest white, possessing 
unusually good substance and waxlike texture. Every flower is 
full with wide petals twirled and recurved sufficiently to 
produce an attractive appearance from any angle. An excel- 
lent cut flower and keeps as well as most of the small flower- 
ing types. Exceptionally fine foliage and a strong grower.
