ALEXANDiER'S DAHLIAS 



For Florists and Seedsmen 



If you are looking for something good for your florists' 

 business, try my new cut-flower varieties .offered below. 

 I highly recommend them. 



Mande Adams (New Show D,\hlla). A pure snowy white, very 

 daintily overlaid and eufCused the >'<weetest shade of rose-pink ImaRln. 

 able. It Is the best t>t my introo:'')ctlons for florists' use. "Maude 

 Adams" is the most prolific Dahh\ of its color, being more than 

 twice as free-flowering as either 'VTymphea" or "Sylvia." It has 

 good stems and Is an early Dahlia to v^lossom, continuing thruout the 

 entire season. It has the necessary features that make It stand 

 shipping well, and makes up good in all kinds of work. It has 

 already been tested out in all parts of tho country, Raymond Champe 

 of Michigan finding It his best commert'al variety. I can furnish 

 strong divisions at $3.50 per dozen, $20.01 per 100; and clumps at 

 SS.OO per doz., $35.00 per 100. 



Hortnlanus Flet (Giant Decorative Dahlia). Beautiful salmon-pink 

 with a slight blending of yellow. Good divisions $15.00 per 100, 

 $2.00 per dozen. 



Madonna (New Peony-flowered Dahlia). A very beautiful white, 

 very slightly tinted with a most delicate shade of :avender-plnk. The 

 touch of color adds greatly, rather than detracts from its value, 

 especially when made-up in floral work. The foriA of the flower Is 

 perfectly original, each petal curling and twisting in a very pleasing 

 manner. An excellent cut-fiower variety. Strong divisions $1.50 per 

 dozen, liO.OO per 100; clumps $3.00 per dozen, $25.00 p«>r 100. 



Frank A. Walker (New Decorative Dahlia). A charming shade of 

 lavender-pink, with long stiff stems. Produces its flowers In abun- 

 dance; an exceptionally early bloomer. Good divisions $8.60 per 

 dozen, $25.00 per 100; clumps $5.00 per dozen. 



Mina Bungle (Decorative Dahlia). The finest scarlet DahUa to my 

 knowledge. Flowers of large size, produced in quantity, on long, wlrv 

 stems, well above the foliage. Good divisions $1.50 per dozen, $10.00 

 per 100; clumps $2.00 per dozen. $15.00 per 100. 



Field View of Dahlia Mande Adams. 



Mrs. Wamaar (Peony-Cactus Dahlia). Gigantic flowers of 

 creamy white, suffused a delicate shade of pink. The early 

 flowers are full to the center, and giants of hybrid Cactus 

 type; but as the season advances, they show the beautiful 

 golden yellow center which lends an Individual charm to the 

 flower, a characteristic of the Peony-flowered type. An early 

 continuous bloomer, stems anywhere from eighteen to thirty- 

 six inches long. Divisions $5.00 per dozen. $35.00 per 100.
