Our Grand Garden Dahlias 



No garden is complete without a show of these brilliant and stately- autumn flowers, and nothing gives greater 

 return for so little money and care. We offer dry bulbs or tubers, but if stock of these becomes exhausted, will send 

 started plants. We grow and sell fifteen acres of Dahlias each year. 



Cactus Dahlia 



So-called from their resemblance to Cactus flowers. They 



are characterized by long, narrow, pointed, tubular and twist- 

 ed petals of graded lengths, giving the flowers a striking and 



attractive appearance. Grand for cut flowers. Except where 



noted, 15 cents each. The entire set of twelve Cactus Dahlias, 



costing: $2.55, for $2.00. 



AMOS PERKY — The best bright scarlet Cactus to date. Color 

 purest flaming scarlet, with long, narrow, twisted petals of 

 irregular formation. The blooms are borne well above the 

 foliage in the utmost profusion. Certainly a beauty. 25 cts. 



AURORA — Very free-flowering; reddish-apricot, suffused with 

 flesh-pink, shading lighter at the tips. 25 cents. . 



CHARLES CLAYTON — The strongest words of praise are not 

 extravagant when applied to this wonderful new Cactus. 

 It is the ideal in color, form, length of stem and genera 

 good habits, beyond which it would seem little could be 

 hoped for. The color is a most intense crimson, so vivid 

 as to dazzle the eye; superb. 20 cents. 



COUNTESS OF LONSDALE — For perfection of bloom, erect- 

 ness of stem, abundance of flower, this variety has never yet 

 been equaled. On several of the plants we have counted 

 over 150 perfect blooms on one plant. Is there any other 

 garden flower that can equal it? The color is a rich sal- 

 mon pink, tinted apricot. 20 cents. 



COUNTRY GIRL — Base of petals golden-yellow suffused with 

 salmon-rose or old gold, which is deepest at tips of petals.

 ed flowers on long, upright, wiry stems. Habit ideal of per- 

 fection. 20 cents.

 tus Dahlia. Its velvety-black crimson-maroon shade is very

 white flowers of splendid form; five inches and over in

 den Dahlia. 25 cents. 



SPRINGFIELD — A new Dahlia of our own intrduction. It 

 is identical with Countess of Lonsdale except in two es- 

 sentials. It has a darker stem and the flowers instead of 

 being a salmon-pink as in Lonsdale, Springfield is a rich 

 amaranthine-red. Its beauty cannot be described. No 

 Dahlia blooms freer, no Dahlia is as pretty as Springfield. 

 It lasts longer cut than any Dahlia we know. 35 cents.

also very showy in the garden, being unusually free bloom- 

 ers. They are more formal in make-up than the Cactus 



Dahlias, but not so formal as the Show varieties, being a 



happy medium between the two. Except where noted, 15
