Our reputatiiiii for xiuarc dealing covering half a ct-nturv is back of the Decfirativf Dahlia 

 Patrick ( )'Mara. 



The llowers are large. S iiuhi'S or more in diametir and the stems are sufficiently strong to 

 hold the massive blooms erect as long as the flowers last. The petals are regular and of un- 

 usually firm substance, the face of the flower showiiii; nothing but jietals with no open center, 

 making a j)i'rfect bloom. 



The color is a rare attractive .\iitiiiiiii shade, an umisualK soft and plea.^ing orange-buff, -liglitK 

 tinged with Neyron ro>e, showing most on the petal backs. It is a striking condiination. 



It is the best shipping Dahlia and the best keep(;r we ever saw— sure to prove a money-niaknij.^ 

 commercial variety and will be included in choice garden varieties. 



b'ditors of horticultural journals and Dahlia experts pronounce it a real acquisition. 



Price, $10.00 per plant, $100.00 per doz. Safe delivery guaranteed, ("a^h to accoiniiaiu order
