NEW P/eONY=FLOWERED DAHLIAS. 



P.«ONY-FLOWhRED DaHILA, QuEEN EmMA. 



This new type of Dahlias originated in Holland, and 

 promises to become very popular. The artistic flowers 

 are very large, from 6 to 8 inches across, and are best 

 compared to the semi-double Pseonies 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. 



Qermania. Brilliant strawberry-red, a very fluffy, 

 artistic flower, standing well above the foliage, pro- 

 ducing a very gay effect. 



Glory of Baarn. Very large, loosely arranged flower 

 of Mift hortensia-rose color.
