Excerpt from Bessie Boston Dahlias, 1929 If you enjoy working in the garden, grow Juliette. It is one of those dahlias which just seem to love to bloom. From early August to December, our bushes have been a mass of large, well formed blooms. The color might be described as white, heavily overlaid with rose pink. The effect is a pink blossom. Plants grow fairly tall and bushy, every bush seems to produce about a million buds. You can take them all off one week and go back the next week and find another big supply to take up your time. In this part of the world we don't appreciate these excessive bloomers, they take up too much valuable time. But then, when you grow thousands of bushes of dahlias, that is not to be wondered at. We certainly hope that some of our customers will keep track of the blossoms of this variety next year. We once had a report of a Mariposa, grown in New Jersey, which produced fifty blooms, Many people thought this was marvelous. However, nearly all of our varieties produce a good many more blossoms than that in a season. This is an attractively formed flower, with long, narrow petals.
