 Burliank, the famous California hybridizer, from whom our supply of seed was

 to the original Shasta or any of the older daisies. 20 cts. per pkt.; 3 pkts., 50 cts.

Giant Ro\.i,L bwnti Sulian. 



GRAND NEIV 



SINGI^E DAHLIA 



COI^OSSAL,. 



2181 This novel and distinct variety 



comes from a well-known French horti- 

 culturist who has sent out many of the best 

 things in Dahlias, and who believes that this 

 sensational new race will soon displace all 

 other single sorts. Its chief characteristic is 

 its enormous flowers, which attain the hitherto 

 unheard of dimensions of 8| inches in diam- 

 eter. It also has petals of extraordinary 

 width and texture. In color the parent plant 

 was a bright scarlet, but the seedlings are likely 

 to vary both as to color and shape, some com- 

 ing single, others semi-double, but all, not- 

 withstanding their huge size, with the light- 

 ness and grace of a Japanese Pseony. A most 

 valuable novelty. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., 

 $1.00. 



Single Orcliid-flowered 



Dahlia Twentieth Century. 



2186 One of the most sensational novelties ever sent 

 out. The flowers measure from 4J to 7 inches 

 across, and early in the season are an intense rosy 

 crimson tipped with white, and having a white 

 halo around the disc. As the season advances 

 they gradually become lighter until they are a 

 pure white blended with soft pink, a most 

 beautiful transition. The seed we send out has 

 been saved by the originator from stock plants, 

 but there is likely to be considerable variations 

 in the seedlings. 15 cts. per pkt. 



New^ Dahlia Collcrette. 



2185 A novel type, having a row of short petals 

 around the disc like a frill or collar, and which 

 are always of a different color from the rest of 

 the flower; mixed varieties. 15 cts. per pkt.
