PEONY FLOWERED DAHLIAS 
A new family of Dahlias originating in Holland. The artis- 
tic flowers are very large and are best compared to the semi- 
double Peonies in form. The gayest of all Dahlias for color- 
ing. Price, except where noted, 25 cents each; the six Peony- 
flowered Dahlias, costing $1.60, for only $1.25. 
BERTHA VON SUTTNER—Blush-rose tinted salmon-pink; fine. 
GEISHA—‘The pride of the Peony-flowered Dahlias. ‘This most 
sensational variety is the showiest and most attractive of 
this type in existence. The wonderful flowers are renowned 
for their excellent qualities; being exceptionally beautiful in 
color, perfect in form, grand in appearance and immense in 
size. The color of this acquisition is remarkable and at- 
tracts everybody’s attention. It is a superb combination of 
brilliant scarlet and gold with an exquisite ring of rich, 
clear yellow at the center. Occasionally the first flower 
comes fully double, but all that follow show that beautiful 
golden center which combines to make this flower the most 
charming. Its form is very original, consisting of peculiarly 
twisted and curled petals. The effect of these phenomenal 
flowers is most pleasing, giving this variety the supreme place 
as the showiest Dahlia in existence. 35 cents.

with their purity of color, or the blending of colors, shades and 
tints, they entirely outclass all other Dahlias for cut flowers.
