Peony-flowered or Art Dahlias 



The artistic flowers are best compared to the semi-double 

 Peonies in general form. They all flower very freely and are 

 borne on long, strong stems, making excellent material for cutting 

 as well as for garden decoration. 



Dreamlight. A large full flower composed of many narrow 

 flat petals of a lovely shade of pale old rose illuminated with 

 yellow at the base. Numerous twisted and curled petaloids 

 around the disc make the Peony formation most perfect and 

 the flower most attractive. 75 cts. each. 



Drum Major. One of the largest of the Peony-flowered type 

 which under ordinary field culture attains a size of over 8 inches; 

 in color, it is one of the most brilliant, a rich fiery-red which is 

 intensified by a lemon-yellow centre with which the petals are 

 also more or less tipped and marked. 50 cts. each. 



Hampton Court. One of the best; a bold flower of good form, 

 of a bright mauve-pink. 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Coissard. To us this is the most artistic and graceful 

 Dahlia of this type; its flowers are large, composed of incurving 

 shell-like petals; these are of brilliant French purple or carmine- 

 crimson, freely marked and suffused with white. 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Paul Aubrey. A distinct and desirable novelty of true 

 Peony form. In color a beautiful rich deep mauve-pink. The 

 outer petals are broad and flat, the centre petals quilled and 

 rolled towards the centre. 50 cts. each. 



Mme. Vard. Deep Oriental red with golden disc and markings, 

 a gorgeously colored effective flower of good size. 50 cts. each. 



Mexico. Brilliant cardinal-red with yellow markings and suffu- 

 sion, one of the largest of this type, gay and attractive and very 

 free. 50 cts. each. 



Mondscheibe. Large canary-yellow, very free-flowering and 

 attractive. 50 cts. each.

 Sinols Dahlia

flowers with an additional row of short petals 



around the disc, forming a frill or collar, which is usually of 



a different color from the rest of the flower. Very graceful for 



cutting, particularly when arranged in vases by themselves.
