About the Book

Excerpt from Almy's Supreme Dahlias for 1930: Seedlings, Choice Novelties and Varieties of Unusual Merit From Both East and West

It gives me great pleasure to place before all Dahlia lovers the following, each of which is a distinct addition to the list of new creations.

I grew practically all of the new Introductions of sufficient merit to be on the Honor Roll for 1928, and many beside, and I can truthfully say my great new seedling, Supreme Glory was in size superior to all, and in most other points as well. This is a Decorative, seedling of Elite Glory, a beautiful golden yellow with reverse of all petals heavily flushed with the red of its parent - Elite Glory and with face of some petals slightly tinted with the same, particularly in the early blooms, making a flower of rare beauty. The petals are very long and wide, and the center is absolutely full, always. One of the first to bloom, it is full of flowers till frost, and is the most prolific big dahlia I know. I have picked 5 flowers, each 10 inches or over, from a single plant in one day and there were seven more blooms partly opened or showing color. The stems, which are cane stiff, will average, at least, 21/é to 3 feet in length (and I have cut them 5 feet), carried over a spreading plant 4 to 5 feet tall. It requires no disbudding as the crown bud is so much larger than the two side buds that they do not bother at all. The stems are leafless for 18 to 20 inches and very few joints, for balance of their length. Its prolificacy of bloom is due to the great number of flower stalks thrown up, which start from the lower joints and grow far above the bush. It is a fine keeper in the Show Room, and absolutely the most spectacular of any I ever grew in the gar den. The flowers, which are deep as well as large in diameter, have been grown to 1114 inches with no feeding, forcing or disbudding, and the 'plant is prae tically immune to insect pests, even the borers sel dom attacking its hard and woody stem. Considered by visitors and practically all who saw it, as the outstanding variety in my gardens. Tubers, $15 each; 3 for $40. Plants, each; 3 for $20.
