SPRINGFIELD — A new Dahlia of our own introduc-

 except in two essentials. It has a darker stem

 in Lonsdale, in Springfield are a rich amaranthine- 

 red. Its beauty cannot be described. No Dahlia 

 blooms freer, no Dahlia is as pretty as Spring- 

 field. It lasts longer cut than any Dahlia we 

 know, 35 cents.

These come next to the Cactus as a cut flower. 

 They are also very showy in the garden, being unu- 

 sually free bloomers. They are more formal in 

 make-up than the Cactus Dahlias, but not so formal 

 as the Show varieties, being a happy medium be- 

 tween the two. Except where noted, 20 cents each.

 ing $4.25, for $3.35.

 lowish center; as large as Souv. de G. Doazon.

 and late bloomer. This we consider one of the 

 best -ten Dahlias. Very showy in the garden.

 best of its color. The form is perfect decorative 

 type, the petals being broad and flat; it has a 

 perfectly full center and is a Dahlia that can be 

 grown to an immense size with ordinary treat- 

 ment. It was very prominent at the Panama-Pacific 

 International Exposition where it was grown in
