Dolores. A splendid free-flowering perfect decorative of large 

 size of a glistening apricot-bufi with golden suffusion and glow.

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

 lavender-pinli, tipped with white. Flowers large on good stems.

Dora Clay. An artistic and uncommon shape which makes the 

 very large flowers very attractive. They are supported on stout 

 wiry stems. Color white with just the faintest touch of cream.

 magnificent large, light pink, edge of petals shading darker, 

 flowers nine inches in diameter, good for exhibition and garden. 

 $2.00 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 Beatty. A well built, neatly shaped flower composed of 

 more or less curled petals of a distinct solferino-red, shading 

 lighter towards the edges. $1.00 each.

 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 that continues in good shape to the 

 end of the season. $1.00 each. 



Eldorado. Size, stem and color of this variety are of the best. 

 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. $5.00 each.

 which we feel certain wiU become a general favorite for cutting 

 and for garden decoration. Its form is perfect with long, stiff,

 rose-pink that everybody likes. With this there is just sufficient 

 salmon suffusion to give it lustre and glow. 75 cts. each.

 size on very long stiff wiry stems of a soft lemon-yellow, a

 gold, intensified by a reddish glow in the centre. Exceptionally 

 good long, leafless stems hold the flowers well above the plants. 

 $1.00 each.

 which are deeply cleft at the tips giving it a light and graceful 

 formation. In color it is a golden yellow deepening to mikado-

 equally handsome in either state. $1.00 each.

 tips; chrome-yellow passing to lemon. $2.00 each.

 flower is a purplish-maroon; the reverse of the petals silvery- 

 white. These are quilled and formed in such a manner as to show 

 both colors; giving the effect of being variegated or edged with 

 silvery-white. $2.50 each.

 yeUow shaded orange, but with larger flowers and blooming 

 more freely; splendid stems. $1.00 each.

 and hold the flowers in just the proper position. $1.50 each.
