DAHLIAS 



New French "Collarette" Dahlias 



An entirely new type of single Dahlias, 

 which has produced a great sensation 

 wherever shown. The peculiarity of the 

 type lies in the development of the four 

 stamens into short rays or petals at 

 the base of petal, which form a frill or 

 collar aroimd the center. As the collar is 

 entirely distinct in color from the rest of 

 the flower, it is most unique and striking. 



President Viger. The most beauti- 

 ful and striking of the two varieties. 

 Eich, deep blood-red, shading darker 

 toward the base of the petals, with pure white collar, occasionally 

 suffused with rosy-carmime. Each 40 cts. 



Joseph Goujon. The flowers are quite large, orange-red shading 

 to deep red. with light canary yellow collar. This variety has 10 to 12 

 petals, instead of the regulation eight. Each 40 cts.
