New Decorative Dahlia Minnie Burgle 



EXTRA CHOICE NEW 



DECORATIVE 

 DAHLIAS 



Continued 



Imperator. A variety that came to us 

 from Continental Europe, where it has 

 attracted much attention and favorable 

 comment on account of its superior dec- 

 orative qualities. The flowers, which 

 are from 6 to 7 inches in diameter, and 

 quite distinct in form, are held in a ver- 

 tical position on stout stems with no in- 

 clination of any weak neck, making it a 

 most valuable cut flower. In color it is 

 a soft ivory-white with the outer edge of 

 the petals suffused, with soft rose-mauve. 

 50 cts. each. 



Minnie Burgle. One of our California 

 friends, an enthusiast on Dahlias, called 

 our attention to this variety two years 

 since, and we have been greatly pleased 

 with our trials of same, it being one of 

 the freest flowering decorative varieties 

 in our fields; thirty large, perfect, open 

 flowers on one plant at a time being not unusual; in 

 color it is a rich luminous dark scarlet, on long stiff 

 stems, splendid both for cutting and garden decora- 

 tion. Plants ready April 25th. 50 cts. each. 

 Newport. Early in the season a soft delicate rose, as the 

 season advances it becomes a luminous light rosy-pink, 

 the first flowers of true decorative form, while later it 

 partakes more of the Pascny shape; early and remark- 

 ably free-flowering, and entirely distinct. Plants ready 

 April 25th. 50 cts. each. 



Oregon Beauty. A brilliant gorgeous flower that attracts much attention on account of 

 its rich color, an intense Oriental-red with golden sheen and garnet suffusion. Produces 

 its large flowers on long stems in the greatest profusion. A splendid garden variety. 35 

 cts. each. 



Perle Mauve. A gem of a pure mauve color, entirely distinct and much 

 admired, flowers large and very free. 50 cts. each. 



Prinzessin Irene von Preussen. Very large but grace- 

 ful pure white, on stout stems held well above the foliage; 

 an effective garden variety. Plants ready April 25th. 50 

 cts. each. 



SPECIAL OFFER 



We will supply one each of the 14 New Deco- 

 rative Dahlias offered on page 143 and above, a 

 fine collection, for S8.00. 



THREE GORGEOUS 

 DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 



We illustrate on page 147 the following three 

 gorgeous Decorative Dahlias which are unsur- 

 passed for garden decoration and equally valuable 

 for cutting. 

 Flamingo. As a cut flower this ranks with 



Delice; the flowers are held erect on stiff stems 



of a rich and glowing rose-pink, while it frequently 



shows an open centre; this does not detract from its 



beauty. 50 cts. each. 

 Hortulanus Fiet. A colossal flowered variety with 



blooms over eight inches in diameter, of the most deli- 

 cate shade of shrimp pink, the tip of each petal barely touched wi 



gold. The entire flower has a suffusion of delicate tints of red an 



yellow, which gives a glow yet softness of color difficult to describe. 



75 cts. each. 

 flanzanola. Brilliant oriental-red with deeper shadings, a fine 



shaped flower with good stem, very free and ideal for cutting. 25 



cts. each. 



One each of the above for §1.25.
