NEW SINGLE DAHLIAS. 



30th Century Orcliid-Flowered Dahlia — It is impossible to correctly de- 

 scribe this exquisite sort. It must be seen growing to fully appreciate 

 its marvelous beauty. The individual flowers are charming. The 

 color being a rosy crimson with white tips and white disc around the 

 yellow center, this does not fade or change like many other flowers, 

 but in each new flower the dark-colored zone becomes lighter as the 

 season advances, really giving a new and distinct flower each time. 

 The most striking and beautiful of all the Dahlias. Strong roots, each 

 30c; pot plants, each 20c. 

 , Collarette Dahlia — President Viger — A new type of Single Dahlia, the 

 ;■ peculiarity of which lies in the development of the stamens into short 

 petals, forming a frill or collar around the center. The color of the 

 flower is a rich, deep red, the frill or collar petals being pure white. 

 A most striking variety. Strong roots, each 50c; pot plants, each 25c.
