EXTRA CHOICE NEW 



DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 

 of 1914 and 1915, 



We offer on this and the next page a particular!) 

 fine collection of the most recent additions to this 

 splendid free flowering and useful type of 

 Dahlia. The varieties Breeze Lawn, Eas- 

 ton, Eventide, Jean Wood, Mrs. Furbush, 

 Oregon Beauty and Paul Bonyon are Amer- 

 ican bred, and reflect great credit on home 

 talent, they being as fine as anything im- 

 ported. 

 Breeze Lawn. This is unquestionably 



the ideal red decorative Dahlia, and 



though it originated some five years ago, 



it has only been introduced in a verylim- 



ited manner. Its flowers, while very large, 



frequently over eight inches in diameter, 



are not at all coarse, but have a refine- 

 ment along with its rich color, an intense 



fiery-red that is lacking in many other 



popular varieties. One of the earliest and 



most continuous bloomers. Plants ready 



April loth. $1.50 each. 

 Easton. Not an extra large flower, but a 



variety which, on account of its brilliant 



color, good form and remarkable free- 

 flowering habit, is certain to become a 



standard, both as a cut flower as well as for garden decoration; in color 



it is a brilliant Turkish or Oriental red. 25 cts. each.

r 



Eventide. A splendid flower of perfect form and large 

 size, on long, stiff stems, which for all purposes may be 

 termed a white Dahlia, there being but the faintest flush 

 of delicate rose on the edge of the flower, which seems 

 to intensify its pureness. 25 cts. each. 

 Freibeuter. Of all the high colored decorative garden 

 varieties this is not only one of the earliest, but also one of 

 the most continuous free bloomers; in color a brilliant car- 

 dinal-red, a rich glow of color from early to late. 

 50 cts. each. 

 Qreuze. A large flower of graceful form, of a soft 

 creamy-white color. Plants ready April loth. 50 

 cts. each.

 blooms over eight inches in diameter, of the most 

 delicate shade of shrimp pink, the tip of each petal 

 barely touched with gold. The entire flower has a 

 suffusion of delicate tints of red and yellow, which 

 gives a glow yet softness of color diflicult to describe. Illus- 

 trated in connection with two other colossal Dahlias on
