DREAMS OF BEAUTY. 



Curly Locks. This is a curly darling, a perfect beauty. It is semi- 

 double, petals long, quilled, opening about an inch from the tip; inner 

 petals, incurving, and curling gracefully over the center; outer petals long 

 and drooping; recurving prettily at the tips. The color of the flowers at

 the center, and shading blush to the ends of the petals. Can be grown 10 

 inches across. 



Golden Ball. A magnificent ball of pure, bright canary yellow. 

 Petals slightly rolled at the edges, pointed at the tips, and a little re- 

 curved, all of an even length, coming down close around the stem. Flower 

 is perfectly double, very full. 



PetaJ\ima.. This grand flower is a new departure, both in color and 

 form. The petals are quilled the same size from base to tip, and are the 

 size of a large knitting needle, and 3 inches in length. Flowers very 

 double, and when fully developed are round as a ball. Color is pure nan- 

 keen yellow; old gold with age. A grand sort. 



Blazing S\m. A splendid dahlia-flowered variety. Color at first a 

 rich brownish-red, with center incurved, developing later into a large, flat 

 flower, petals blazed with yellow in center, and flushed with brownish-red, 

 broad and deeply recurved. Flower 7 inches across. 



Peek-aL-boo. A splendid reddish-brown flower. Petals tipped 3 r ellow 

 and very long, drooping down over the lower side of the flower, and falling 

 from above, almost covering the eye, which looks out from the mass of 

 petals in a way that suggested the name "Peek-a-boo." A splendid variet}", 

 measures 7 inches under ordinary care. 



Juno. A beautiful flower; very distinct in the great width of its 

 petals, which measure nearly % inches across, tubular at the center; they 

 open out, curving slightly at the edges; long, pointed, and curved at the 

 tips; the lower petals reflex and curve inward at the ends, while the uppcr 

 ones curve gracefully toward the center. 



Ribbons. A very beautiful and graceful flower; semi-double with 

 broad petals; pale yellow in color, flushed pink half their length; flowers 

 measure 7 inches across, and hang like great bunches of ribbons. Very 

 lovelv.
