The New Paeony Dahlia — F. R. Austin. 



THE NEW PAEONY DAHLIA— F. R. AUSTIN 



By that master, Prof. Cameron, who has protrayed one plant just as it was 

 in the garden of Mr. F. R. Austin, Tuckerton, N. J. It is a seedling raised by 

 Mr. Austin, who is treasurer of the reorganized American Dahlia Society and 

 one of America's most enthusiastic amateur growers. Five of the flowers shown 

 were seven inches in diameter, and the artist has shown the artistic irregularity 

 of the flowers and the harmonious blending of the colors, shades and tints, run- 

 ning through carmine, pink and yellow to cream. The plant is a strong, vigor- 

 ous grower of open habit and a most persistent bloomer. 50c per clump of 

 roots. $5.00 per dozen clumps. 



JOHN WANAMAKER— THE NEW PAEONY DAHLIA 



This wonderful new Dahlia is not pnly one of the largest and handsomest, 

 but has a distinct new habit of branching right at the ground. The color 

 is an exquisite and fashionable shade of rose-lake, or, as popularly called, 

 orchid pink. It must be seen to be fully appreciated. Was awarded first 

 prize by The American Dahlia Society. Was awarded a certificate by The 

 Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, and highest honors wherever exhibited. 

 We offer you this wonderful Dahlia at 45c per clump of roots or $4.50 per 

 dozen clumps.
