New Single Dahlia, "Twentieth Century." 



No single Dahlia ever created such a sensation or was received with such popular favor as this, and it is well worthy of the 

 praise bestowed upon it. It is entirely distinct from all others, and ranks high not only as a free-flowering plant for the garden 

 but as a cut flower, holding a place alongside the finest Roses. 



The plant is of free branching habit, flowering early, profusely and continuously throughout the season, producing its flowers 

 on stems 3 feet long, and which, after cutting, keep in perfect condition for days. They measure 4i to 6 inches in diameter, and 

 early in the season are an intense rosy-crimson tipped with white and having a white band around the disc. As the seasou 

 advances they become lighter, until they are almost a pure white suffused 

 with soft pink; not variegated, but blended in the nx^st beautiful man- 

 ner. 25 cts. each ; S2.50 per doz.
