The Handsome John Wanamaker Dahlia 



John Wanamaker — The New Paeony DahHa 



This wonderful new Dahlia is not only 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. The illustration Eibove is from 

 a photograph and shows the exquisite formation. No two petals are alike and 

 no two flowers exactly alike. When on exhibition at John Wanamaker's 

 store, over 150,000 visitors pronounced it the handsomest Dahlia in the world. 

 Awarded first prize by the American Dahlia Society. Was awarded a certifi- 

 cate by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society and highest honors wherever 

 exhibited. We offer you this wonderful Dahlia at 75c per clump of roots or 

 S8.00 per dozen clumps.
