 Mrs. Carl Salbach. This is one of the California varieties 



which has been seen at most of the Dahlia Shows throughout the 



country during the past three seasons, and which has been ac- 

 corded many honors. The plant is of exceptional clean, \igorous, 



erect habit, producing its flowers on unusually long stiff stems. 



These are of splendid decorative form, measuring fully nine sn- :;»* 



inches across, and are of a pleasing lively shade of solferino- .Jjl^

color, which is equally fine under natural as well as artificial 



light. $1.50 each. 

 Mrs. I de Ver Warner. The best known and one of Judge 



Marean's finest introductions. A wonderful Dahlia that has 



justly gained a great reputation, produces great masses of absolutely 



perfect flowers under all conditions. In color it is of that refined 



pleasing deep mauve-pink that is usually referred to as an orchid coloring 



and which everj'one loves. The flowers are large, of perfect form, on V, 



long stiff stems and are so placed as to show their fuU profile. It comes 

 into flower early and continues in good shape to the end of the season. S2.50 each.

perfect shape, full double to the centre of a soft yellow deeply

 sheen and garnet suffusion which makes it stand out 

 prominently in the gardea among all other varieties.

 Pink Perfection. This is a pink flowered form of 

 the popular Hortulanus Fiat. Pink Perfection, we 

 believe, will even surpass Hortulanus Fiet in popu- 

 larity. Like the latter it is of giant size, over S inches

 stiff stems and free flowering. In color it is a beautifxd 

 shade of salmon-pink, with old rose suffusion and illumi- 

 nated with a Uvely golden sheen. $1.00 each.

 it as a dark mahogany red, but with us it has shown a brilliant 

 carmine suffusion on the outer petals. The flowers are of large 

 size, composed of neariy flat petals, every flower comes with a 

 perfect centre and is held erect on long stiff stems, very free- 

 wering. $2.50 each.

 merit. Il is of the purest white, the flowers of great size and 

 excellent form, borne verj' freely on good long stems and last 

 wonderfully either on the plant or when cut. Sl.CO 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 through- 

 out the season. It holds its flowers well above the foUage on 

 stiff, wirj' stems. 50 cts. each.
