5elect Decorative Dahlias 



ContiJiued 



Mrs. Charles L, Seybold. Ground color of crimson-carmine, each 

 petal tipped and more or less marked with white; fine for cutting 

 and for garden decoration. 35 cts. each. 



Mrs. C. H. Breck. Offered and described on page 149. 

 rirs. Furbush. The best dark variety, a rich purplish- 

 garnet with maroon shadings; flowers of good size and 

 form. 35 cts. each. 

 Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt. A large flowered mauve- 

 pink; very pleasing; a fine cut flower. 35 cts. each. 

 Oregon Beauty. We doubt if there has been a single 

 visitor to our Dahlia fields who has not included this bril- 

 liant gorgeous variety in his selection. It has also been 

 prominently displayed at exhibitions. Its rich color, an 

 intense Oriental-red with golden sh^en and garnet suf- 

 fusion, makes it one of the varieties that stands out promi- 

 nently among all of its neighbors. 50 cts. each. 

 Patrick O'Mara. This new Dahlia named in honor of 

 ' one of America's noted horticulturists, has been one of the 



most prominent features at the shows of the American 

 Dalilia Society at New York during the fall of 1920 and 

 1921, where it was awarded the Dahlia Society's Gold 

 Medal, and it has also won high honors at many shows through- 

 out the country. 



It is of free-flowering habit. The flowers, supported on long stiff 

 Stems, are of good size, perfect form, and in color a rich chrome-yel- 

 low, with salmon-red suffusion, 

 variety was extensively advertised last year at $10.00 each for green 

 We have acquired a good stock of it, and now offer it in strong divisions 

 of field roots at $3. 00 each. 



Perfection. This is the pink flowered form of Hortulanus Fiet, a most popular variety 

 described on page 149 of this catalogue. Pink Perfection, we believe, will even surpass 

 Hortulanus Fiet in popularity. Like the latter it is of giant size, over 8 inches in diameter, of 



perfect decorative form held erect on stiff stems and free 

 flowering. In color it is a beautiful shade of salmon-pink, 

 with old rose suffusion and illuminated with a lively golden 

 sheen. $1.00 each. 

 Polar Bear. Unquestionably the finest white decorative va- 

 riety yet introduced. It is pure in color, the flowers are of 

 great size, of excellent form, borne very freely on good, long 

 stems, and it lasts wonderfully either on the plant or when 

 cut. $2.50 each. 



This 

 plants. 





Perle de Lyon. One of the best whites of any class for cut 

 flower purposes; its flowers are of good size, and held erect 

 on long, stiff, wiry stems. 35 cts. each. 



Pride of California. A brilliant, glowing cardinal-red, of 

 very large size held on extra good stems, very free and a 

 wonderful keeper as a cut flower, the best of its color. $1.00 

 each. 



Princess Juliana. An ideal pure white for all purposes. 

 A splendid cut flower and a good decorator for the garden. 

 It is one of the earliest to flower, and continues in 

 good shape throughout the season. It holds its flow- 

 ers well above the foliage on stiff, wiry stems. 50 cts. 

 each. 



Princess Hary. A gem in every way. Of true, dec- 

 orative form; flowers of good size and of the most 

 delicate mauve-pink, shading lighter to the edges and ^jg 

 illuminated with gold. $1.00 each. 



Providence. The color combination of Provi- 

 dence is not unlike that of Geisha, a pretty med- 

 ley of bright yellow and red, but the petals, un- 

 like Geisha, are not curled or twisted, but form 

 a beautiful decorative flower. A fancy variety of 

 special merit. $1.50 each. 



Queen Elizabeth. Offered on page 150. 



Queen Mary. A splendid long stemmed cut 

 flower, not large, but of perfect form and of ten- 

 der, soft, apple-blossom pink color. 35 cts. 

 each. 



Simplicity. Delicate flesh pink, with mauve suf- 

 fusion; an exceptionally fine flower. 75 cts, 

 each. 



Souvenir de Gustave Doazon. Of mammoth pro- 

 portions, which, under ordinary cultivation, will pro- 

 duce flowers 6 inches across, and can be grown to 

 measure full 9 inches. It is of free growth and 

 pure red in color. 35 cts. each. 



Stella. Flowers of good size, of a peach blossom pink 



with yellow shading; very free, a fine cut flower. 50 cts. each. 



Sylvia. Soft, pleasing, mauve- pink, changing to white in the 

 centre; a fine cut flower. 35 cts. each. 



W. D'Arcy Ryan. An attractive and striking fancy variety which, unlike other fancy 

 varieties, rarely produces self-colored flowers, which is a rich violet-purple, with a 

 heavy white tip. $1.00 each.
