Delicata. The form is perfection, flowers of medium 

 size, produced on long stems, which stand well above 

 the foliage. The color is a lovely shade of pink, shad- 

 ing towards the centre to a pale yellow, a most beau- 

 tiful combination, and one that must become one of 

 the most popular of this family. 



Harry Freeman. Flowers of medium size, petals of 

 good substance and of a glistening snow-white, pro- 

 duced in such marvelous quantities as to form a mon- 

 ster bouquet. 



Mrs. George Marshall. The flower is very large and 

 full, petals quilled and very pointed, deep rich ma- 

 genta, heavily edged with velvety crimson. 



Mrs. G. Reid. The color is a pure white, conspicuously 

 edged with rose lake, forming a charming combination, 

 while the petals, instead of being entire as in most 

 Dahlias, are deeply cleft, giving it a peculiar fringed 

 appearance. 



Professor Baldwin. This variety is bright orange ; the 

 flowers are thrown well out from the foliage, and in 

 this respect is an improvement upon the old Cactus 

 Dahlia. 



Robert Maher. The flowers are of medium size, very 

 similar in form to the 'Old Cactus," of a rich golden 

 yellow, marvelously free-blooming, standing well above 

 the foliage on long, stiff stems, and only growing about 

 3>£ feet. 



Rayon D'Or. One of the greatest novelties among the 

 fancy section; distinct, striking and effective. The 

 color is unique, bright orange, with a conspicuous band 

 of white running through each petal. 



Viscountess Folkstone. This is a soft primrose yellow, 

 deepening towards the centre to deep yellow, and 

 sometimes slightly shaded with pink. 



W. T. Abery. The petals are pure white, distinctly 

 edged with bright scarlet, rendering it very conspic- 

 uous, and only 2 feet in height ; one of the dwarfest 

 in the whole of this section. 



Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz.; set of 14 new Cactus 

 Dahlias for $4.00.

jew anil improved Cactus DaQiias.

 new and improved Cactus Dahlias ever combined in one 

 group. They are the cream of the European collections, 

 where the Dahlia, and the Cactus type particularly, has been mar- 

 velously developed. 



7U£RS. PEHRT 



Is the first real white Cactus Dahlia ever raised, and a marvelous 

 improvement upon every variety in cultivation. It stands out 

 in bold relief from all others. The plant is of medium growth, 

 exceedingly floriferous, and the flowers stand clear above the 

 leaves ; a great advantage, as many of the finer forms of this 

 section have many of the flowers hidden among the foliage. 

 The flowers are of medium size, in form a Juarezi, but of the 

 purest white, with a slight tinge of lemon in the centre when it 

 first opens; this dies off as the flower advances in age. The cut, 

 which is only half natural size, gives a good idea of the form. 

 Price, 60c. each, $6.00 per doz. 



Asia. A delicate peach pink. It is very early in bloom, flowers 

 large, very distinct in form, and much freer in bloom than many 

 of this section. 

 Blanche Keith. This is an improvement upon all the yellow vari- 

 eties, a-nd of the true "Cactus" form. The petals are long and 

 twisted, very full and evenly arranged, and of a uniform rich 

 yellow throughout. It is also remarkably free-blooming, the 

 flowers standing well above the foliage, and the plant not more 

 than 3 feet in height. 50c. each, $4.50 per doz. 

 Baron Schroder. This is distinct from all others ; the flowers are 

 of the true Cactus form, large, petals of great substance and 

 of a rich, glowing imperial purple. 

 Beauty of Eynsford. A very pleasing and distinct color; it is a 

 soft, rich buff, shaded with chestnut, deeper in the centre ; a 

 true Cactus, and not growing more than 3% feet. 



HARDY ENGLISH DAISIES (Bellis Perennis). 



Pretty, low-growing plants, bearing a wealth of pink, 

 white and red blossoms ; blooming in early spi'ing, they 

 are valuable for their contrast to Pansies and other spring 

 flowers. 10c. each, 75c. per doz., $4.00 per 100. 



HEW YELLOW PARIS DAISY (New Branching). 



A new, strong-growing and branching variety of this very useful 

 plant. It will be welcomed on account of its vigorous habit and 

 golden-yellow flowers. May be had in bloom all winter. Price, 

 10c. each, $1.00 per doz. 



NEW GIANT WHITE PARIS DAISY. 



A new large-flowering semi-double variety of the true " Margue- 

 rite " of the Paris markets ; large, pure white flowers, three to four 

 inches in diameter, with a double row of petals surrounding the 

 golden-yellow disk. It is a vast improvement, in size of flower, 

 on the old "Marguerite," being twice as large and more numerous 

 petals, lasting longer. It makes a grand display in a pot during 

 the winter months, and will eventually supersede the old form 

 completely. Price, 25c. each, $2.25 per doz. 



Note. — We can supply the old "Marguerite" at 10c. each, $1.00 

 per doz. 



EULALIA GRASSES (Hardy). 



These are attractive ornaments for the lawn or hardy border. 



The inflorescence is curled like an ostrich plume and makes a 



very pretty ornament in a vase when dried, lasting for years. 



Gracillirna. Foliage very narrow and of a beautiful green color. 



Eulalia Zebrina (Zebra Grass). Unlike all other variegated plants, 

 this has its golden striping or marking across the leaf. 



Eulalia Japonica Var. Leaves striped white and green longitudi- 

 nally. 1st size, 30c; 2d size, 15c. each, $3.00 and $1.50 per doz. 



Euonymus Radicans Var. Leaves variegated white and green, a 

 rapid-growing climbing plant; self-clinging to masonry, and hardy 

 south of New York. 20c. each, $2.00 per doz.
