Decorative Dahlia, Duchesse de Vendome 



Dolly Varden. One of the earliest and freest flowering varieties 

 with wonderfully beautiful good sized flowers. The petals 

 curling and twisting delightfully develop a most graceful and 

 attractive bloom of irregular formation. Its color is also most 

 pleasing, a pretty shade of cameo-pink shading to a creamy- 

 pink centre; a splendid cut flower and valuable for garden 

 decoration. S3 .00 each. 



Dolores. A splendid free-flowering perfect decorative of large 

 size of a glistening apricot-buff with golden suffusion and glow. 

 75 cts. each. 



Don Williams. A seedling from the well known fancy variety 

 Earl Williams but entirely distinct in color. A soft shade of 

 lavender-pink, tipped with white. Flowers large on good stems. 

 $3.50 each. 



Dora Clay. An artistic and uncommon shape which makes the 

 very large flowers very attractive. They are supported on stout 

 wiry stems. Color white with just the faintest touch of cream. 

 Sl.OO each. 



Dr. Hart. A good-sized very free-flowering soft buff with rosy 

 suffusion, over-laid and illuminated with a golden lustre, a 

 fine garden variety and cut flower. 75 cts. each. 



Dr. Marshall A. Howe. A beauty both in form and color, a 

 magnificent large, light pink, edge of petals shading darker, 

 flowers nine inches in diameter, good for eshibition and garden. 

 $3.00 each. 



Duchesse de Vendome. A French introduction that we can 

 recommend highly both as a garden variety as well as for cut 

 flowers on account of its free-flowering habit, and medium sized 

 pure white flowers. 50 cts. each. 



Earl Williams. An exceptionally attractive fancy or variegated 

 variety, the flowers are of largest size, of splendid formation of a 

 brilliant crimson-scarlet color, each petal tipped with white; 

 an early and free bloomer that continues in good shape to the 

 end of the season. $1.00 each. 



Eldorado. Size, stem and color of this variety are of the best. 

 Picture a comparatively low growing bush with immense golden- 

 yellow blooms which stand up and look you in the face, and you 

 have Eldorado. A strong feature of this beauty is the depth of 

 the flower which corresponds with the size, a splendid Dahlia 

 in every way. $5.00 each.

 largest and deepest of its class, of perfect form with petals just 

 sufiiciently irregular to prevent any stiffness in formation of the 

 flowers, which are carried on strong firm stems. $5.00 each.

 which we feel certain wUl become a general favorite for cut- 

 ting and for garden decoration. Its form is perfect with long,

 that soft rose-pink that everybody likes. With this there is just 

 sufficient salmon sxiffusion to give it lustre and glow. $1 .00 each.

 without the least coarseness produced early and continuously

 centre. A desirable exhibition variety. $2.50 each. 



Prau G. Scheiff . One of the most admired of the decorative

 distinct, these often showing the coppery-orange reverse by 

 their peculiar twisting. SO cts. each.

 gold, intensified by a reddish glow in the centre. Exceptionally 

 good long, leafless stems hold the flowers well above the plants. 

 tl.OO each. 



Glorieuz. A wonderfully formed large flower with wavy petals 

 which are deeply cleft at the tips giving it a light and graceful 

 formation. In color it is a golden yellow deepening to mikado- 

 orange at the centre, sometimes every petal is tipped with white 

 but more frequently it is without these white tips, but it is 

 equally handsome in either state. $1.00 each.

 stiff stems; color delicate violet-rose shading to white at the 

 centre, flowers always of good form, plant of erect habit of

 white. These are quiUed and formed in such a manner as to show 

 both colors; giving the effect of being variegated or edged with 

 silvery -white. $5.00 each.
