DAHLIA NOVELTIES and VARIETIES of SPECIAL MERIT 



Peony Dahlia 

 Mme. Paul Aubrey 



Islam Patrol {Gia,it Hybrid Cactus). A gorgeously colored flow- 

 er; a velvety crimson-scarlet tipped and flushed with pure gold. 

 It is very early and holds its perfect shape to the end of the 

 season; one of our most briUiantly-colored varieties. Plants, 

 $2.00 each. 



Jersey's Radiant {Hyhrid Cactus). A splendid cut flower and 

 one of the best exhibition varieties, a large flower on an ex- 

 ceUent stem. Color bitter sweet orange. Plants, $5.00 each. 



Koh-I-Noor {Hybrid Cactus). Maroon, and at times so dark as 

 to be nearly black. The flower texture has a pronounced vel- 

 vety sheen which adds greatly to its beauty. In form, a perfect ^

La Senorita (Decorative). A weU buUt flower with good 

 centre, of large size on long stiff stems holding the 

 flowers horizontally or chrysanthemum-like. Color rich 

 velvety oxblood-red with scarlet suffusion; one of the 

 finest of the dark reds. Plants, $2.00 each 



Maku (Hybrid Cactus). Most delicate shell-pink deepen- 

 ing to the centre. All the petals are suffused with 

 deeper coloring, just as if though touched by a painter's 

 brush. Form perfect, a gracefully incurved bloom like 

 the highest type of English Cactus Dahlia but with 

 heavier petals. Plants, S2.S0 each. 



Marechal Poch {Hybrid Decorative). A variety that 

 pleases us particularly well; the plant itself is of neat 

 erect habit from 5 to 6 feet high and its very perfectly 

 formed large flowers are supported in such a manner 

 that displays the gay and cheerful blooms to best ad- 

 vantage. The color of these is a bright scarlet-red with 

 just a wee tip of gold on each petal. Plants, $1.50 each. 



^Z'^^^T^ ^^y^'^^Cactus). A clear pinkish cerise without the slightest taint of 

 magenta, the reverse of the petal being of a lighter tint. The flowers are large oTLr

 consider it on account of its free habit combined with the above a most vaTu;^' 

 cut flower as well as a plant for garden decoration. Plants, $3.oTeach

 composed of moderately loosely arranged petals of a beauti-

Mme. Paul Aubrey {True Peony). This is not merely a 

 semi-double Dahlia as so many of the so-caUed Peony! 

 flowered varieties, but it is of true Peony form, we feel safe in 

 saying the first Dahlia that is worthy to be designated of th" 

 type. In color It is of beautiful rich, deep mauve-pink The 

 ouer petals are broad and flat, the centre petals quilled and
