 size, long flat petals, regularly arranged into a most perfect 

 bloom. Early, free-flowering; of a brilliant flaming scarlet 

 with just the smallest tip of golden-yellow to petals. 75 

 cts. each. 



Dolly Varden. One of the earliest and freest flowering 

 varieties with beautiful good sized flowers. The petals

 also most pleasing, a pretty shade of cameo-pink shading to 

 a creamy-pink centre; a splendid cut flower. 75 cts. each.

Earl Williams but entirely distinct in color. A soft shade of '•{ 

 lavender-pink, tipped with white. $1.00 each. 



Dora Clay. An artistic and uncommon shape which makes 



the very large flowers very attractive. Color, white with * 



just the faintest touch of cream. $1.00 each. 



Duchesse de Vendome. A French introduction that we 

 can recommend highly both as a garden variety as well as 

 for cut flowers on account of its free-flowering habit, and 

 medium sized pure white flowers. 50 cts. each. 



Earl Williams. An exceptionally attractive fancy or varie- 

 gated variety, the flowers are of largest size, of splendid 

 formation of a brilliant crimson-scarlet color, each petal 

 tipped with white; an early and free bloomer. 50 cts. each. 



Eldorado. Picture a comparatively low growing bush with immense 

 golden-yellow blooms which stand up and look you in the face, and 

 you have Eldorado. A strong feature of this beauty is the depth of 

 the flower which corresponds with the size; a splendid Dahlia in every 

 way. $1.00 each.
