Peony-flowered or Art Dahlias 



The artistic flowers are best compared to the semi-double 

 Peonies in general form. They all flower very freely and are borne 

 on long, strong stems, making excellent material for cutting as 

 well as for garden decoration. 



Drum Major. One of the largest of the Peony flowered type 

 which under ordinary field culture attains a size of over 8 inches; 

 in color, it is one of the most brilliant, a rich fiery -red which is 

 intensified by a lemon-yellow centre with which the petals are 

 also more or less tipped and marked; early and stands out 

 most prominently in the garden. $1.00 each. 



Hampton Court. One of the best; a bold flower of 

 good form, of a bright mauve-pink. 35 cts. each. 



Mme. Butterfly. Ground color yellow, heavily 

 shaded with coral-red; a gay-colored flower, very 

 freely produced. 75 cts. each. 



Mme. Coissard. To us this is the most artistic 

 and graceful Dahlia of this type yet introduced; its 

 flowers are large, composed of incurving shell-like 

 petals; these are of brilliant French purple or 

 carmine-crimson, freely marked, shaded and suffused 

 with white. 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Vard. Deep oriental red with golden disc and 

 markings, a gorgeously colored effective flower of 

 good size. $1.00 each. 



Mondscheibe. Large canary-yellow, very free-flow- 

 ering and attractive. SO cts. each. 



Paradise Found. A large flower of great depth always singled 

 out on account of its beautiful clear bright canary-yellow color, 

 free and early on good stems. $2.50 each. 



Vivandiere. Of immense size and great depth; color a lively cherry -carmine, shading lighter towards 

 the tips. The stems are excellent and it is an early, free and continuous bloomer. SI. 00 each.
