FLOWERS TO CUT FROM APRIL 



Grand Collection of New Dahlias 



"TWENTIETH CENTURY." The new, orchid- 

 flowered, single Dahlia. The flowers are very large: 41,^106 

 inches in diameter, sometimes reaching 7 inches, of perfect 

 form and exquisite finish. The color is intense deep rosy pink, 

 with white disc around the yellow centre and white' tips; a 

 superbly beautiful and striking flower. As the season advan- 

 ces, the deep- colored zone changes intoa pure, soft pink, when 

 the color-contrasts are exquisitely lovely, and can be com- 

 pared with no other flower except the beautiful orchids. The 

 flowers cut on long stems and keep a longer time than any 

 other Dahlia. The past season cut blooms sold in the open 

 market at a much higher price than the finest roses. The 

 plant is 5 feet tall, a vigorous, branching grower, with fern- 

 like foliage, producing the flowers on long stems with buds 

 and foliage. Price for strong, divided, field-grown roots, 50c. 

 each; S5.00 per dozen. 



"BLACK DIAMOND." The grandest dark or black 

 Dahlia yet produced. The flowers are very large, full, round, 

 ball-like form and full to the centre. The color is very dark 

 maroon, shading to black; it is one of the largest show 

 Dahlias in existence, often measuring 5 to 6 inches in diame- 

 ter. Price, 40c. each; S4.00 per dozen. 



"EUKEKA." A seedling of Grand Duke Alexis and 

 A. D. Livoni — one of the most valuable Dahlias yet produced, 

 both as a blooming plant and for cut-flower purposes. The 

 flowers are very large, of a deep rose color; fine regular 

 form with quilled petals. In size and form it is intermediate 

 between its parents, but has a full, high centre in marked 

 contrast with the sunken centre of the latter. An early and 

 extremely profuse bloomer on long stems, and should be in 

 every collection. Price for strong roots, 40c. each; Sl.OOper 

 dozen. 



"PFNK DANDT." A pure, pink sport of the fancy 

 Dahlia " Dandy." A larger and finer pink than Livoni. The 

 plant is a stronger grower and will produce more and longer 

 stemmed blooms. The flowers are large; always perfectly 

 full to the centre, the outer petals reflexing to the stem. The 

 finest pink Dahlia grown. Price, 50c. 



"KED HUSSAK." A grand flower of the purest cardinal red; full round form and always full to the centre, 

 plant is a strong, vigorous grower, of branching habit and an extremely profuse bloomer. Price, 25c. each,
