GROUP OF NEW SINGLE DAHLIAS. 



(One-third natural size.) . 



SET SINGLE DAHLIAS. 



This new section of the Dahlia family has now become ex- 

 ceedingly fashionable, owing to the value attached to the cut 

 blooms, their airy, butterfly-like forms giving the flower a grace 

 never attained by the finest double sorts. The flowers range 

 from three to five inches in diameter, all having a bright yellow 

 centre surrounded with petals running through all the shades 

 of scarlet, crimson, rose, yellow, orange, white, lilac, carmine, 

 etc. 



Butterfly. A beautiful shade of pink. 

 Ballot. Deep carmine; large and showy. 

 Moonstone. Large, light canary yellow. 

 Sandusky. Orange; immense size; very distinct disc. 

 Chancellor. Delicate lilac; large size, free blooming. 

 Crichton. Maroon, of a rich velvety shade. 

 White Queen. See special description above. 30 cts. 

 Corsage. Intense bright scarlet ; very fine. 

 Vicarage. Bright vermilion; large. 



20 cts. each, except where noted; set 9 for $1.50. 



DELPHINIUM FORMOSUM. 



DELPHINIUM FORMOSUM, 

 Blue Larkspur. 



This beautiful hardy plant has curious shaped flowers of a 

 deep blue color, with a white centre. (See cut.) 

 25 cts. each; $2.25 per doz. 



SINGLE DAHLIA, White Queen. 



Pure white lily-like flowers with yellow diss. The great value 

 of this acquisition will be better understood when it is known 

 that it resembles the Amazon Lily (Eucharis), being similar 

 in color, and almost as good in form and substance. Flowering 

 through the summer and fall months, until cut down by the 

 frost 



30 cts. each; $3.00 per doz. 



GLARE OF THE GARDEN. 



DAHLIA, "Glare of the Garden," 

 (Cactus Dahlia.) 



A most valuable and useful decorative plant for all purposes 

 through the late summer and autumn months. Its flowers are 

 of a dazzling scarlet, and much resemble in shape and color 

 the well known Cactus Cereus Speciosissimus. Height about 

 three feet, very bushy, flowers of very striking appearance, and 

 quite unlike those of any ordinary double Dahlia, the florets 

 being flat and pointed. (See cut, one-thrd natural size.) 

 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz. 



DRAC/ENA (Dragon Tree).

 baskets or stands, or for specimen plants in parlor or green- 

 house.

An old green-house plant, always scarce. It is evergreen, 

 growing three feet high, bearing clusters of small, pinkish-white 

 flowers, exquisitely fragrant. 



60 cts. each ; $6.00 per doz. 



I find it necessary once more to express the gratification I have derived from the beautiful condition in which mv plants arrived ; although 

 I suppose it is a common thing for you to receive such acknowledgments. WM. FRANCIS BUCKNOR, De Land, Fla.
