MARY C. BURNS 



(Decorative) 



We were enthused over this Dahlia when we saw it grow- 

 ing in the grounds of the originator during the summer of 

 1919, and flowers produced in our own fields during the past 

 two seasons have further convinced us of its 

 superior merit. It is unique in color and en- 

 tirely distinct from all other varieties; the flow- 

 ers are large, of perfect decorative form; in color 

 it is of a luminous old gold with reddish reverse, 

 a novel and pleasing color combination. The 

 flowers are held erect on good stiff stems and 

 are produced in great profusion. Plants, $1.50 

 each. 



MEXICO 



( Peony-flowered ) 

 Brilliant cardinal-red with yellow markings and 

 suffusion, one of the largest of this type, gay and 

 attractive and very free. Plants, $2.00 each. 



PICOTEE 



(Cactus) 



One of our own introductions and entirely dis- 

 tinct from all other Cactus varieties. While the 

 flowers are not of unusual size, measuring about 5 inches in 

 diameter, they are of splendid form and graceful appearance. 

 The color of the petals is a rich luminous crimson-carmine 

 with the reverse of a silvery white color, the petals being 

 fluted on the ends; this reverse side presents itself in such a 

 manner so as to give the flowers the appearance of being 

 variegated or tipped with white. Plants, $2 00 each. 



Cactus Dahlia Picotek 



SHELIKOFF 



(Decorative) 



To us this appears as one of the great decorative 

 varieties, the flowers are not only large in diameter 

 but of unusual depth and of splendid form, 

 always full to the centre and of great substance; 

 in color it is a rich deep glowing garnet. 

 Plants, $2.00 each. 



^VHOPPER 



(Decorative) 



Another giant decorative with extremely 

 large, well built deep flowers of a most pleasing 

 shade of yellow-buff, suffused with orange, 

 form it is all that can be desired and its flowers are 

 carried on strong stiff stems. Plants, $1.50 each
