at Atco, N. •)., and can fill orders from now until frost. Among the manj^ 

 fine A'arieties we call special attention to Kriemhilde which promises un- 

 usually well this year. 



KREIMHILDE 



Tliis new variety has more good quali- 

 ties than any other Cactus Dahlia yet 

 produced. As every one Ijnows, we have 

 never yet had a pure pink Cactus, and 

 even the imitations we lind were of in- 

 ferior quality, with poor, weali, droop- 

 ing necks, were poor biooiuei-s, or poor 

 growers, the best of them ail, Delicata, 

 being a most unsatisfactory grower. 

 The color is a fresh delicate pink, 

 shading to white in the center; the form 

 is all that could be asked (see illustra- 

 tion); it is a profuse bloomer. It 

 is a strong, vigorous grower, of 

 upright habit, the stem being strong, 

 holding ihe flowers up stiff, making it 

 invaluable for all cut-flower purposes. 

 In addition to all of these good quali- 

 ties. Kriemhilde is more valuable than 

 any other Cactus Dahlia, from the fact 

 that it will keep as long as the Show 

 Dahlias, and will carry and last at least 

 two days longer than any other Cactus 

 Dahlia we have ever grown. The past 

 seasons we shipped it extensively to 

 Philadelphia, New York City, Buffalo 

 and other cities: besides extensively 

 throughout the East, and it arrived and 

 gave perfect satisfaction. Therefore, 

 we cannot recommend Kreimhilde too 

 highly. 



The PEACOCK COLLECTION OF DAHLIAS is undoubtedly the finest In 

 America, extending to 



130 Acres of the Newest and Best 



\\"e have the best facilities and can guarantee good stock, good pack- 

 ingr and prompt deliveries.
