DAHLIAS 



DECORATIVE 



(Continued) 



Harry Sheldon, Jr. A large well formed flower of de- 

 lightful color, the outer petals of a bright lavender-pink 

 with creamy-white centre, strong semi-dwarf habit of 

 growth. $3.50 each. 



Hope Slater. A splendid free-flowering clear, lemon- 

 yellow; shading lighter at the tips. The good-sized 

 flowers are produced most profusely. Early in the sea- 

 son it is of true decorative form but develops a Paeonie 

 centre as the season advances. 75 cts. each. 



Hortulanus Fiet. Flower over 8 inches in diameter, of 

 the most delicate shade of shrimp-pink, the tip of each 

 petal barely touched with gold. The entire flower has a 

 suffusion of delicate tints of red and yellow, which gives 

 a glow yet softness of color of great charm. $1.00 each. 



Insulinde. One of the most popular varieties both as a 

 cut flower as well as for garden decoration. The blooms 

 under ordinary cultivation are from 7 to 8 inches in 

 diameter with just sufficient broad, long, curled and 

 twisted petals to form a perfect and graceful flower. 

 These are held horizontally on the stem like a Chrysan- 

 themum. Color a beautiful golden ochre, with salmon- 

 red suffusion which deepens towards the centre. $1.00 

 each. 



Jersey's King. Very large perfect flowers of a brilliant oriental- 

 red with carmine suffusion; long stiff stems. Early and free 

 flowering. $1.00 each. 



Jersey Pride. A large attractive flower, apricot orange with 

 golden suffusion, produced on long stiff stems. $1.50 each. 



Jersey's Radiant. Very large flower, shape and stem excellent, 

 of Bitter-sweet orange color, one of the best exhibition varieties 

 and fine for cutting. $2.50 each. 



Jessie K. Prescott. A beautiful combination of colors in a 

 well-formed large flower composed of long narrow petals which 

 roll backwards giving it a light graceful formation. Color 

 orange-scarlet at the centre, gradually passing to buff at the 

 tips. In the not fully developed flowers the golden base of the 

 Ijetals intensifies the rich coloring. Stems, habit and freedom 

 of bloom, perfect. $1.00 each. 



Joseph Faurax. Large attractive flowers with rather narrow 

 regularly-arranged petals, forming a very full deep flower of a 

 rich, oriental-red suffused with buff at the edges; free and con- 

 tinuous flowering on good stiff stems. 75 cts. each. 



Judge Alton B. Parker. A coppery-salmon with golden hue. 

 A large perfect flower; fine stems, good for all purposes. $2.00 

 each. 



Judge Marean. A very large flower of perfect decorative 

 shape. The colors changing as the flowers pass through different 

 stages of development are a combination of glowing salmon- 

 pink, red, iridescent orange, yellow and gold, all blending most 

 harmoniously. $1.00 each. 



Junior. Of immense size which makes it particularly useful as an 

 exhibition flower and its freedom of bloom, neat habit of growth 

 make it equally valuable for garden decoration. The large 

 blooms are supported on good stems, are of perfect form and of 

 a delightful soft, delicate shade of lavender-pink. $2.00 each. 



Kenneth J. Doolittle. An exceptionally fine brilliant crimson 

 scarlet of giant size and clean cut perfect form, flowering early 

 and continuing in good shape throughout the season. $1.00 each. 



Kittie Dunlap. If this has any weak points we have failed to 

 discover them. It flowers early and continues perfect through- 

 out the season, its blooms are of the largest size, all that can be 

 wished for in shape and are carried on long, stiff, practically 

 leafless, stems; in color it is a much admired beautiful shade of 

 carmine-rose with a brilliant suffusion. $1.00 each. 



King Harold. Very free flowering mahogany-red, flowers of 

 medium size on good long stiff stems, very distinct, a good garden 

 variety. $1.00 each.

\ Decorative Dahlia, 

 o, Jessie K. Prescott 



Laddie. A soft lemon-yellow with orange-buff suffusion, this 

 suffusion in the depth of the flower gives it a glowing color that 

 makes it particularly attractive, the flowers are of large size, 

 produced very freely. 75 cts. each. 



La Mascotte. 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. 75 cts. each. 



Lotus. A favorite with everyone who sees it, in color a most 

 lively orange with an iridescent metallic lustre that makes the 

 flower stand out prominently among all others. It is of good size 

 and in shape is not unlike a water lily, grand for garden decora- 

 tion and a glorious cut flower. 75 cts. each. 



Louise Aureau. A splendid garden variety with fair-sized 

 flowers produced most profusely on stiff stems well above the 

 foliage of a bright pure mauve. $1.00 each. 



Luminous. Very full perfect flowers of a deep purplish garnet 

 with luminous pomegranate red shadings, very free and early. 

 75 cts. each. 



Margaret Masson. One of the finest exhibition varieties with 

 very large full flowers of splendid form on excellent stems. 

 Color a most pleasing shade of silvery lavender-pink. Has been 

 awarded many prizes and attracted much attention at the shows 

 the past two seasons. $4.00 each. 



Maria Houtman. One of the most valuable and beautiful of 

 the autumn tints, a luminous glowing salmon shading to old gold. 

 The medium sized flowers are produced very freely and continue 

 in good form to the end of the season. Its pleasing color, good 

 stems and lasting qualities make it invaluable for cutting, while 

 its freedom of bloom places it in the first rank for garden deco- 

 ration. 75 cts. each. 



Mevrouw Dix. A glowing lively salmon-rose with golden suffu- 

 sion. While only a medium sized flower 5 to 6 inches, held on 

 long good stems, we consider it on account of its free habit com- 

 bined with the above, a most valuable cut flower as well as a 

 plant for garden decoration. $1.50 each.
