(^ opening of ihe Dahlia Season 



The Dahlia has come rapidly to 

 the front as a cut flower of late 

 years and is now indispensable in 

 every well conducted flower store. 

 Many new and beautiful varieties 

 have been introduced recently, most 

 of which we have tried out for cut 

 flower purposes, and our experience 

 in that connection is one of value. 

 We recommend only such as are of 



1st, superior lastingf quality, 

 2d, of s:ood form, 

 3d, good stem, and 

 4th, good clear color. 



We represent the principal grow- 

 ers of Atco and Hammonton and 

 others in this vicinity and can ofifer 

 un«'xcelled service. 



The earlier varieties are now 

 arriving in fine condition and we 

 will have a regular supply of the 

 later sorts as the season advances. 



We offer for this season 



storm King, Perle d'Or and Snowclad, among 

 the whites; Livoni and Sylvia, pink; Agnew, 

 Lyndhurst and Red Hussar, crimson; Arabella 

 and Bruton. yellow; Nymphaea, white and 

 colored Century, Krlemhilde, Von Berlin. • 

 $2.00 and $2.50 per 100. 



We will also have a limited supply of 



Jack Rose, the brilliant new crimson, and 



Delice, the beautiful new pink decorative, the 



greatest keeper of them all, which we can furnish 



at $4.00 per 100. 



NOTE:— As the supply of the last two varieties is very limited, 

 orders should be placed as much in advance as possible.
