DREER'S TEN GREAT DAHLIAS 



Ten distinct varieties offered below which we have singled out from among the Decorative and Cactus types as worthy of every 

 Dahlia fancier's special attention. While some of these are recent introductions the majority are varieties which have stood out most 

 prominently for several years as the most desirable for either garden decoration or for cutting for house decoration and which prominent 

 position they still hold. 



All of the varieties listed under this heading will be supplied in dormant field roots of proper planting size. 



La Mascotte (Decorative) . Entirely distinct in formation 

 and coloring. The face of the petals is silvery-pink while 

 the reverse is reddish violet, the petals being quilled on 

 first opening, the two-toned effect produced is very novel and 

 pleasing. The flowers are of medium size and are produced 

 in great profusion. 50 cts. each. 



Nichu {Cactus) . Flowers of immense size of very incurved 

 shape on good stems, producing an abundance of beautiful 

 light yellow flowers with good centres to the end of the 

 season. 50 cts. each. 



Rayonanthe (Decorative). A pretty, loosely arranged 

 large flower that always has a good centre to the end of the 

 season of a good sulphur yellow, a desirable, distinct 

 variety. 75 cts. each. 



Riverton Rose Mallow (Decorative). A pretty flower for 

 cutting and so early and prolific in blooming to make it of 

 outstanding merit for garden decoration; in color it is a 

 charming soft mallow pink with lighter suffusion. 75 cts. 

 each. 



Riverton Snow (Decorative). For an all around white for 

 the garden or for cutting nothing can be found to surpass 

 this perfectly formed, long stemmed free flowering white 

 75 cts. each. 



Decorative Dahlia, Jersey's Beauty 



Andreas Hofer. A lovely narrow petaled Cactus of ideal form 

 and soft tender coloring. A most delicate shade of pink with 

 salmon suffusion passing to a creamy-white centre. Its stiff 

 wiry long stems and free habit of bloom make it invaluable for 

 cut flowers as well as for garden decoration. 75 cts. each. 



Dakota (Decorative). One of Judge Marean's introductions 

 producing very large exhibition flowers of good form, color a 

 deep tone of rich coral-red with coppery suffusion; a good 

 decorative garden variety. 50 cts. each. 



V 



Faith Slocombe (Decorative) . One of the best of the autumn 

 tints; a pure apricot with a touch of salmon-rose; large size, 

 early and free. 50 cts. each. 



Hera (Decorative). A splendid shapely flower of large size and 

 perfect Decorative form produced on long stiff wiry stems held 

 well above the foliage. It is one of the earliest to flower and 

 continues in good form to the end of the season. Color a pretty 

 and pleasing soft lilac that will prove a favorite for all purposes. 

 SI. 00 each. 



Jersey's Beauty (Decorative). Not only the finest true pink Decorative 

 variety but we believe we are justified in saying the best all-around Dahlia 

 for any purpose yet introduced. The beautiful large pink flowers are of 

 perfect form, supported on long, stiff straight stems. It is early and 

 free flowering, continuing perfect to the end of the season. As a cut 

 flower it is one of the best keepers and is equally valuable for garden 

 decoration. No one will be disappointed in planting Jersey's Beauty. 

 75 cts. each.
