PEONY FLOWERED DAHLIAS 



A new family of Dahlias originating in Holland. The artistic flowers are very large and are best com- 

 pared with the semi-double Peonies in form. The gayest of all Dahlias for coloring. 



CHATENAY — Its beautiful salmon tints form a perfect contrast with the deep green 

 foliage. Strong, sturdy, upright growth and produces its blossoms erect upon good

 ranged gem and lends an additional charm to this new acquisition. 50 cents each.

 charms. Violet mauve or soft lavender. The plant is "a strong, vigorous, branching | 

 grower, and the earliest, most constant and profuse bloomer. 35 cents each.
