Excerpt from Certified Dahlias, 1929 This splendid new yellow Decorative will, I predict, be in the yellow class, What Jersey's Beauty is in the pink. I have watched it closely for the past three years, and it has all the attributes of a perfect Dahlia. This Dahlia while primarily a commercial Dahlia, yet can be grown to exhibition size. I have seen many 9 inches across and from 4 to 5 inches in depth. It has the long, free branching habit of its parent Jersey's Beauty, and a plant pinched once or twice can carry eight to twelve perfect flowers, none less than 6 inches. The stems are more slender than Jersey's Beauty, yet always stiff, holding the flowers erect and at a proper angle for vase work.
