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. 



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; early and stands out 

 most prominently in the garden. $1.00 each. 



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

 of a bright mauve-pink. 35 cts. each. 



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

 Dahlia of this type yet introduced; its flowers are large, com- 

 posed of incurving shell-like petals; these are of brilliant French 

 purple or carmine-crimson, freely marked, shaded 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 quiUed and 

 rolled towards the centre. $1.00 each. 



Mme. Vard. Deep oriental red with golden disc and markings, a 

 gorgeously colored effective flower of good size. $1.00 each. 



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

 attractive. 75 cts. each. 



The Mahdi. A very large fancy Peony of good form, of a rich 

 blood-red mottled and streaked with creamy-white and yellow; 

 a very attractive flower. 75 cts. each. 



Peony Dahlia, 

 Mme. Paul Aubrey 



Vivandiero. Of immense size and great depth; color a lively 

 cherry-carmine, shading lighter towards the tips. The stems are 

 excellent and it is an early, free and continuous bloomer. 75 cts. 

 each.
