New Fancy Decorative Dahlia 



MADAME A. LUM1ERE. 



To admirers of the dainty and fanciful this unique 

 variety will be rapturously welcomed. It is indeed a 

 beautiful sort, a soft creamy white with distinct violet- 

 crimson on the tips of the petals. The latter color ex- 

 tends downwards, lessening towards the center, pro- 

 ducing a charming effect. A most distinct and at- 

 tractive sort. It is a " decorative " variety, of medium 

 size and a most prolific bloomer. (See cut.) Price, 60c. 

 each, S6.00 per doz. (Field grown roots.) 



New Cactus Dahlia, Else. 



A unique and charming variety with a blending of 

 shades rivaling an orchid. Buttercup yellow at the 

 base gradually shading to amber; the edges of the 

 petals finished with bright tyrian rose. Price, field 

 grown roots, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz. 



New Cactus Dahlia, Dorothy Vernon. 



One of the most exquisitely colored varieties in our 

 list. The shadings are delicate and various. Ground 

 color warm flesh, showing tints of opaline pink and 

 light blush. It is a very pleasing variety. 



Price, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz. (Field-grown roots.) 



New White Cactus Dahlia, Ambassador. 



A pure white of refined " Cactus " form. It is a 

 splendid grower and a most abundant bloomer. Fine 

 stems and suitable for cut flowers. Appropriately named.

New Cactus Dahlia, Thomas Parkin. 



A very beautiful, gracefully formed and distinct 

 variety. The color is a light terra-cotta, uniform 

 throughout the flower. The petals are very narrow, 

 splendidly incurved, giving great depth to the blooms. 

 It lasts splendidly after being cut. 



Price, 35c. each, §3.50 per doz. (Field-grown roots.) 



NEW SEMI-DOUBLE " COLLARETTE " DAHLIA. 



White Cactus Dahlia, Winsome. 



Undoubtedly the finest pure white Cactus Dahlia to 

 date. The flowers are large, of beautiful Cactus form 

 with twisted incurved petals giving great depth to the 

 flower. They are produced in great quantities on long, 

 stiff, erect stems. Price, 25c. each, S2.50 per doz. 



(Field-grown roots.) 



New "Collarette" Dahlias. 



This rare and striking type is distinguished by the 

 peculiar development of the stamens at the base of the 

 main petals, becoming in fact secondary petals in 

 appearance. They are entirely distinct from the rest 

 of the flower in form and color and form a frill or 

 collar around the center. These new varieties are 

 semi-double and are even more unique than the original. 

 Exposition de Lyon. Rich crimson with cream}' yellow 

 "collarette," the latter showing under the upper 

 petals, thus forming a double row. Many flowers 

 show 18 petals. (See cat.) 

 La Fusee. Deep claret-crimson with white "collarette," 

 large yellow center; semi-double, foliage finely cut. 

 Orphee. Deep, rich cerise with yellow at the base of 

 the petals. Creamy white collarette with large yellow 

 center. Flowers well formed and freely produced. 

 President Viger. The first of the " collarette " class, a 

 single-flowered variety. Rich, deep blood-red, shad- 

 ing darker towards "the base of the petals, with 

 pure white collar, occasionally suffused with rosy- 

 carmine. Markedly distinct and blooms abundantly. 

 Price for the above, 35c. each; set of 4 for SI. 25.
