Red and White. 



3laid of Kent. The shade of red is between scarlet and cardinal. It 

 shades through pink to a brilliant white. The texture and luster are very 

 remarkable. Form about half way between the globular and cactus type. 



Salmon and pink. 



Oban. Salmon and crimson pink, iridescent, a peculiar and delicate com- 

 bination of colors. Described by Peacock as rosy lavendar, overlaid delicate 

 silvery fawn. The variety sent as Ernst Kelway was identical with this. 

 Lady Marsham is similar but has more of the rose color. 



Pink and white. 



Nyniphcra . Shell pink, inner rays at times nearly white. Sometimes 

 slightl}' fragrant. These flowers in a vase are often compared to water-lilies. 

 It is perhaps the most famous of American varieties and has had much to da 

 with bringing about a revival of interest in dahlias.
