NEW SINGLE DAHLIAS. 



20th Century Orchid-Flowered Dahlia — It is impossible to cor- 

 rectly describe this exquisite sort. It must be seen growing 

 to fully appreciate its marvelous beauty. The individual flow- 

 ers are charming. The color being a rosy crimson with white 

 tips and white disc around the yellow center, this does not 

 fade or change like many other flowers, but in each new 

 flower the dark-colored zone becomes lighter as the season 

 advances, really giving a new and distinct flower each time. 

 The most striking and beautiful of all the Dahlias. Strong 

 roots, each 25c; pot plants, each 15c. 



Collarette Dahlia — President Viger — A new type of Single 

 Dahlia, the peculiarity of which lies in the development of the 

 stamens into short petals, forming a frill or collar around the 

 center. The color of the flower is' a rich, deep red, the frill or 

 collar petals being pure white. A most striking variety. 

 Strong roots, each 25c; pot plants, each 15c.
