COLLERETTE 

 DAHLIAS 



Anyone only familiar with the first introduc- 

 tions of this type can form no idea of the beautiful 

 artistic blending of soft and rich colors which is 

 found in most of the newer sorts. All have 

 single flowers with an additional row of short 

 petals around the disc, this forming a frill or collar, 

 which is usually of a different color from the rest of the 

 flower.
