 mium orange, shading to yellow at the base. The re- 

 verse of the petals is red Each 50c

 ous grower. A prize winner in California with a

THOMAS A. EDISON— This gorgeous new royal pur- 

 ple Dahlia has met with complete approval. The 

 Staghorn petal formation, the dark green insect re- 

 sistant foliage, the cane stiff stems and its thrifty 

 growing habit of medium height leave nothing to be 

 desired. Selected and named by permission of the 

 famous electrical wizard Each $1.00

 of the very best Dahlias grown. Long, stiff stems and 

 excellent for cut flowers Each 25c

 pink, center petals passing to spinel-red. The plant 

 is covered with very large blooms which are held erect 

 on long, stiff stems, a perfect variety for cutting and 

 a wonderful addition for the Dahlia planting of dis- 

 tinction Each 50c
