ALEXANDER'S DAHLIAS 



For Florists and Seedsmen 



Alexander's New Florists' Dahlias Lead the World 



If you are looking for something good for your florists' 

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

 highly recommend them. "\^ j 



MAUDE ADAMS. (New Show Dahlia.) A pure snowy white, 

 very daintily overlaid and suffused the sweetest shade of rose-pink 

 imaginable. It is the best of my introductions for florists' use, and a 

 variety I can highly recommend. "Maude Adams" is the most free-flowering 

 Dahlia of its color, being more than twice as prolific as either "Nymphaea" or 

 "Sylvia." , It has good stems and is an early Dahlia to blossom, continuing 

 throughout 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 the country, Raymond Champe, of Minnesota, finding 

 it his best commercial variety. I can furnish strong divisions at $330 per 

 dozen, $20.00 per lOO; and clumps at $8.00 per dozen, $38.00 per lOO. 



FRANK A. WALKER. (New Decorative Dahlia.) A charming 

 shade of lavender- pink, with long, stiff stems, making it first-class as 

 a cut flower Dahlia. This new variety won the flrst-class Certificate 

 of Merit at the North Shore Horticultural Society, at Manchester, for the best 

 seedling in the show. It produces its flowers in great abundance, and is an ex- 

 ceptionally early bloomer. Good divisions, $3.80 per dozen, 828XM> per lOO; 

 clumps, $8.00 per dozen.

TFie F*lorists' Best DstlllidS. including the very finest and best of recent introduction; 

 ' varieties that are still new and high in price, but so far su- 

 perior to the average florists' dahlia, that they deserve a place in every florist's garden.
