NEW AND RARE DAHLIAS! 



New and Dwarf MIgnon Dahlias, offered for the first time 



This valuable novelty is an entirely new strain among the species of Dahlias. Its early flowering and very dwarf habit 

 (15 inches) make it one of the finest bedding plants ever introduced. It commences to bloom in June and keeps on flower- 

 ing until frost starts in. We can offer it in six shades. Habit of growing and flowering reminds one of Anemone Japonica 

 (Japanese Windflower), as every plant of the Mig^non Dahlia produces in great profusion, well-formed, single flowers of 

 medimn size and magnificent color, which stand erect above the foliage and are, as cut flowers, excellent for table decorations. 



The flower committee at Amsterdam awarded this race, on account of its great merits for bedding and cutting pur- 

 poses, 5 First-Class (Certificates and 5 Awards of Merit.
