THE DAHLIA. 73 



Doctor Perry — One of the darkest, a brilliant reddish-mahogany. 



Geisha — The most striking color combination ; golden yellow, changing to bright scarlet at the center of the 

 petal and back to gold at the tip. 



Gypsey Weaver — A rich shade of bronzy-yellow with pointed, twisted petals. 



Holman Hunt — Very dark rich crimson; large and fine; one of the best. 



H. J. Lovink — Very large; lilac. 



Ironmonger — Very large size, with long, graceful stems; pale lavender, with a delicate suggestion of pink 

 throughout. 



King Iieopold.^ — Creamy yellow, shading to deep primrose. 



Konigen Emma — A charming shade of mallow or hollyhock-pink, the inner petals banded with gold. 



Konigen Wilhelmina — Immense fluffy flowers of pure white with yellow center. 



Lady Norma — Very large, well-formed flower; color soft salmon-pink. 



Leo XIII — A deep canary-yellow, entirely distinct in form ; large ; very free flowering. 



Lilac — Color soft lilac ; immense flowers, with long broad petals ; a strong vigorous grower with long stems. 



Landseer — Very large; rich crimson, shaded maroon, with velvety sheen. 



La Kiante — Bright lilac; very large, beautiful flowers. 



Lord Milner — Yellow, suffused crimson. 



Louise Hogg — A seedling of the celebrated Geisha, but considered by many a great improvement over that 

 variety. It is larger, a stronger grower, with darker foliage, and a more pro'fuse bloomer. It is, how- 

 ever, entirely distinct from Geisha as the colors are softer and more subdued. A splendid companion 

 for that variety. Color is light yellow at the base of the petal, shading to soft red at the center, tipped 

 yellow. The flowers are immense, with long broad, twisted and incurved petals. 



Lullingstone — Very large; rich terra-cotta red; splendidly formed, flower. 



Madame Van Loon Orange. 



Mlonarcli — A new American variety of enormous size, often 7 to 8 inches; rich crimson, shaded darker. 



Mondscheibe — Rich primrose yellow ; very fine. 



Mrs. Carter Lewis — Pale lilac, suffused with rose. 



Mrs. G. Gordon — Very large ; sulphur yellow, tinting lighter toward the tips. 



Mrs. MloMundy — Lilac mauve; long stems; very free. 



Mrs. McKeller — Terra-cotta, shaded salmon. 



Mrs. Robt. Bates Pink-white on long stiff stems ; early and profuse bloomer. 



Mrs. Wm. Kerr See illustration, page 2. One of the finest; large, of beautiful twisted, irregular for- 

 mation ; color rich cream, suffused pink, and overlaid carmine. 



Paul Kruger Very large and fine; white suffused pink, shaded carmine. 



Peace Pure white. 



Peacock's Black Jet black in the bud, softening to a maroon black as the flowers expand. A novel feature 



is the center of the mature flower, which is also black instead of yel'.ow as in other varieties. 



Peacock's Yellow Immense size, clear canary yellow, of splendid form and substance. Undoubtedly the 



best clear yellow p^ony. 



Phidias A lovely shade of salmon-pink; long, stiff stems. 



Poinsettia Rich geranium lake, shading to carmine red at tips ; distinctive type. 



Porcupine White, suffused and mottled Tyrian rose.
