Decorative Dahlia 

 Jane Cowl 



Olympe (Decorative). A French introduction, a model flower for 



cutting being about 5 inches in diameter, of ideal form and nicely %% 

 supported on long wiry stems. In color it is of an intense salmon- 

 pink with reddish suffusion; as a garden variety it is very effective 

 on account of its profuseness in blooming. Plants, $1.00 each.

 of the old favorite Rookwood but without the lavender suffusion 

 of that variety. A large fine flower on long, stiff stems and an p ' 

 early and late bloomer. Plants, $1.00 each. 



Regal (Giant Decorative). Can readily be grown to flowers of 

 10 inches on long rigid stems which extend well out of the 

 foliage. In color a delightful and different combination of 

 autumn shades, bronze, heavily suffused with dull old rose 

 and shading to gold at the base of the petals, giving an effect 

 of burnished copper. Plants, $3.00 each. 



Riverton Giant (Decorative). One of our own introductions, a good 

 exhibition flower deep currant red overlying a carmine base. A perfect 

 flower on stiff wiry stems. Plants, 75 cts. each.

 loose, graceful formation, composed of long twisted and curling petals 

 that prevent any stiffness or formality in its shape. The color is distinct
