BETTY DARNELL — A fine peony of gamboge darkening 

 to Mars yellow at base of petals, resembling an immense 

 tawny daisy. This beautiful flower stands well above the 

 foliage on a long, straight stem; is unbeatable as a cut flower, 

 and a wonderful exhibition variety. Tubers, $5.00. 



DARNELL'S DAHLIAS satisfy growers in England, 

 South Africa, and Australasia. 



LONG ISLAND GROWN— That brand on vegetables, 

 ducks, or flowers means a premium in the wholesale markets of 

 our New York. 



EVERY WORTH WHILE DAHLIA — That means 

 each variety we grow is worth while. 



The Millionaire — A huge Dec. of unusual depth. Lavender, 

 shaded pink. Good stem. Tubers, $1.50 each. 

 The Billionaire — Large golden orange peony. Tubers, $2.00. 

 Dr. Tevis — A magnificent Dec. of soft, salmon rose, suffused old 

 gold, with apricot centre. Tubers, $1.00 each. 



These three fine Dahlias delivered, $4.00. 



Also the best in GLADIOLI. A BED OF GLORY and VASES OF 

 BEAUTY from 100 of our INVINCIBLE Mixture. Delivered, $4.00. 



This is the 25th anniversary of the birth of "THE DAHLIA FARM," and 

 to commemorate the year that started the Farm, with little besides a boundless 

 faith in the future of the "CALIPH OF THE FLOWER WORLD," we are 

 sending out an elaborate catalogue that is a long stride from the single sheet 

 first issued. Write for your copy.
