Hardy Pompon Chrysanthemums 
G These beautiful varieties are again very popular for outdoor bedding purposes. They are guite hardy, and with but a slight cover- 
ing of leaves or coarse stable litter during the winter will take care of themselves after once planted, and produce an abundant, alrost 
lavish, profusion of bloom; and the plants lend a coloration to the garden just at a time when other plants have been destroyed by frost 
and are looking their worst. Frost does not materially affect the flowering, and it will frequently happen that an armful of flowers can 
be cut after a sharp frost. Price, 20 cents each; $1.75 per dozen. ; #

CHARLES CLAYTON—The strongest words of praise are not extravagant when 
applied to this wonderful new Cactus. It is the ideal in color, fbrm, length of stem 
and general 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. 35 
cents each; $3.50 per dozen. 
COUNTESS OF LONSDALE—For perfection of bloom, erectness of stem, abund- 
ance 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? Color is a rich salmon-pink, tinted apricot. 35 cents 
each; $3.50 per dozen. 
FLORA—The ideal white for cut flowers. Pure color and extremely free bloom- 
ing. 35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen.

Dahlia Countess of Lonsdale. 
KALIF (Hybrid.)—A truly majestic flower, frequently measuring 
over nine inches in diameter. The flower is of perfect Hybrid 
Cactus form, and in color a beautiful pure glowing scarlet. 
The habit of the plant is all that can be desired, oeitie: with us, 
about four and one-half feet in height. The gigantic flowers, 
which are produced freely, are held erect on strong stems of 
wiry stiffness, making it a most effective and useful variety for 
cutting, as well as for garden decoration. ‘‘Kalif” is the first 
variety that has had the distinction of receiving the National 
German Dahlia Societies’ highest award. This variety bears 
our highest recommendation. 75 cts. each; $7.50 per dozen.

brilliant pink, shading to white in the center. 25 sents each;

great favorite. 25 cents each; $2.50 per dozen. 
RUTH FORBES (Hybrid.)—The massive, clear pink flowers, 
composed of heavy petals, are often accompanied by stems 
measuring 2 feet in length; excel any other variety for large 
vase purposes. 35 cents each; $3.50 per dozen. : ? 
SPRiINGFIELD—A new Dahlia of our own introduction. It is 
identical with Countess of Lonsdale except in two essentials. 
It has a darker stem and the flowers, instead of being a salmon- 
pink as in Lonsdale, in Springfield are 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 each; $3.50 per dozen.
