|VJ ew Snow-white Show Dahlia, STORM KING. 



This superior variety is an extremely early, profuse and con- 

 stant bloomer, a strong, vigorous grower of dwarf, branching 

 habit, and produces its flowers on long stems. The flowers are 

 snow-white, of perfect form, and full to the centre. As a cut- 

 flower variety, it is the florist's ideal, while for grouping or as a 

 specimen plant it is far ahead of any other White Show Dahlia. 

 (See cut.) Strong plants, ready April 15th, 35c each, $3.50 per doz. 



N EW DAHLIA, 5UNBUR5T. 



A grand new Dahlia, bright orange red, very double, the petals 

 reflexing back to the stem, forming a perfect ball 4 to 5 inches in 

 diameter. The plant is half dwarf, growing 3 to 4 feet high, flower 

 stems 10 to 14 Inches long, standing well above the foliage, which 

 is veiy strong and a rich deep green. It is a wonderful bloomer, 

 the freest in our grounds. (See cut.) Price, 20c. each, $2.00 per doz. 



N EW DAHLIA, POLAR STAR. 



The ground color is pearly white, the upper part of the petals 

 is deep carmine, shading down to the white gradually, so that it 

 looks like a white ball surrounded by a halo of rosy light. A very 

 decided acquisition. Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 

 FERN-LEAVED BEAUTY. A great acquisition and probably 

 the finest of all bedding Dahlias, being a new and distinct type 

 with fern-like foliage and a dwarf branching habit ; color creamy 

 white, with a distinct margin of crimson around each petal. 20c. 

 each, $2.00 per doz. 

 GILT EDGE. A variety somewhat similar in character to the 

 above. The markings in this variety are white and gold, the 

 latter shade being on the outer edge of each petal. 20c. each, 

 $2.00 per doz. 



FIELD-GROWN ROOTS, IN COLORS. 



For those who wish large field-grown roots of Dahlias, and are 

 not particular about named varieties, we offer separate colors 

 without names, all large double flowers, as follows : Yellow, 

 White, Pink, Purple, Red, Variegated. 



Price, 30c. each, or 6 large roots, one of each color, for $1.50. By 

 express only, buyer to pay charges. 



Note. — We furnish dormant pot-grown roots up to about 

 April 15th. We send growing plants from pots whenever our 

 stock of roots is exhausted. The plants from pots are equally 

 as good as the roots ; we plant them by the thousands annually. 

 As the price for both is identical we will fill orders from either, 

 as stock permits, when the order is filled. This applies also to 

 Dahlias on next page.
