 in freedom of flowering it is not surpassed by any. It has succeeded in 

 all parts of the country, has been much admired at the exhibi- 

 tions where shown, and has in most cases been awarded the 

 premier prize as the finest white show variety. 50 cts. each. 



Dreer's Yellow. It is with pleasure that we introduce this as 

 "The Best Yellow Show Dahlia yet sent out." It is 

 a good grower, an early and profuse bloomer. In general 

 form and make up, the flowers resemble Dreer's White, 

 which suggested its name, but they are larger, frequently over 

 seven inches in diameter, yet without any coarseness, it hav- 

 ing a refined appearance at all stages of development. The 

 flowers when fully matured are perfect balls 

 in shape, and are held rigid and erect on 

 long stiff stems, making it an ideal cut flow- 

 er, and equally as valuable for garden decora- 

 tion. $1.00 each.
