ROCKY RIVER INTRODUCTIONS 
CERAMIC BEAUTY (Eccleston-Rocky River) 
An outstanding dark red formal, about 
ten inches in diameter and five inches 
in depth. A fine exhibition variety 
which is very early. Ideal stems hold 
flowers facing the side, and _ slightly 
up. Best when grown to four or six 
canes, properly disbudded. 
CERAMIC BEAUTY was the outstand- 
ing seedling winner of the 1953 show 
season when it won five AMERICAN 
HOME Achievement Medals; more than 
any other variety that year. Lack of 
stock prevented introduction at that 
time. It also has two Trial Ground 
Certificates to it's credit and is listed 
by all four of FLOWER GROWER'S 
testers on their Honor Rolls, as well 
as on Mr. Webb's DAHLIA REVIEW. 
Numerous winnings as ‘best in show" 
“best formal” etc. etc.

CLARIAM TIDE (Wolbert-Rocky River) A 
bright reddish orange semi cactus, 
averaging about ten inches in diameter. 
Stiff, rod-like stems hold flowers at an 
up-facing angle. Petals have enough 
substance so that the blooms do not 
nave a "bottom heavy’ appearance 
even in the continuous rains of the past 
fall. Good formation and an attractive 
color drew the attention of visitors 
here during the two years we have 
grown it. 
CLARIAM TIDE was not entered at any 
of the official Trial Grounds, or shown 
in seedling classes the past season, so 
it's lack of winnings is not an index of 
unworthiness. It is on Mr. Eddy's 
Honor Roll in FLOWER GROWER 
Magazine and is on Mr. Webb's Dahlia 
e Review.
