PETER HENDERSON & CO.* NEW YORK- ^ 



GRAND 



DUKE 



ALEXIS 



Three Superb Dahlias. 



Grand Duke Alexis. Pure white, shaded with pink, petals 

 tubular, rolled and overlapping, the faint shade of pink show- 

 ing in the tubes ; enormous size, reaching six inches and over 

 across. One of the most valuable Dahlias. (See cut.) 



Mrs. Peart. Is the first real white Cactus Dahlia 

 Mfl ever raised. The plant is of medium growth, ex- 



ceedingly floriferous, and the flowers stand clear 

 above the leaves — a great advantage. The flowers 

 are of medium size, of the purest white, with a 

 slight tinge of lemon in the centre when it first 

 opens ; this dies off as the flower ages. (See cut.) 

 Mrs. Langtry. A very handsome variety, containing 

 a striking combination of shades. The main color 

 is rich creamy white, tipped reddish pink and 

 marked on the edge with distinct purplish crimson. 

 A strong grower and very profuse bloomer. (See cut.)
