MISS ELLA V. BAINES, The Woman Florist, SPRINGFIELD, OHIO. 



Peony Flowered Dahlias 



A new family of Dahlias originating in Hol- 

 land. The artistic flowers are very large and 

 are best compared 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 long, stiff stems. The beautiful golden-yellow center completes 



the artistically arranged gem and lends an additional charm to this new ac- 

 quisition. 50 cents each. 

 JOHN WANAMAKER — The flowers are alike, and yet not exactly alike, one 



of its 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. 

 QUEEN WILHELMINA — Pure white sort, excellent for decorative work and 



unsurpassed as a cut flower. Blossoms produced upon long, graceful stems, 



well above the foliage. Golden-yellow center which lends an additional charm 



to this most beautiful flower. 35 cents each. 

 SHERLOCK HOLMES — A lovely shade of mauve; this is known as the Blue 



Dahlia. 30 cents each. 



Century Dahlias 



This is an entirely new race of Single Dahlias. Owing to their 

 immense size, long stems, graceful carriage, combined with their 

 purity of color, or the blendings of colors, shades and tints, they 

 entirely outclass all other Dahlias for cut flowers. 



PRICE, 20 CENTS EACH; 3 FOR 55 CENTS; 12 FOR $1.98 



BIG CHIEF — Rich crimson with maroon shadings on margin. 



FRINGED CENTURY — Intense rosy-carmine with lighter edges; fringed or 



cleft petals; blooms all summer; fine for cutting. 

 VARIEGATED LISZT — Dark oriental red, with yellow tips and markings. A 



superior variety for decorations, especially where a bronzy effect is wanted.
