 tistic effect is desired. Owing to their immense

 their purity of color, or the blendings of colors, 

 shades and tints, they entirely outclass all other 

 Dahlias for cut flowers. Keep each variety when cut 

 in a separate vase. Price, except where noted, 20 

 cents each; four Century Dahlias, costing 90 cents, 

 for 75 cents.

 degrees out of doors they bloom about June. Fine young plants, 20 cents each; strong plants, 40 cents.

 best, and is by far the very best pink that we 

 have yet tried; trusses of immense size. Color a 

 most pleasing shade of baby pink that does not

 tractive. It is one of the easiest to force into 

 bloom during the spring, coming into flower early.
