DAHLIA NOVELTIES and VARIETIES of SPECIAL MERIT— Continued 



Jersey's Beauty (Decorative). The finest true pink decorative variety 

 yet introduced and which has been one of the outstanding features of the 

 Eastern shows both in 1923 and 1924 where it has been awarded 

 many gold medals, certificates and prizes. The beautiful large pinli 

 flowers are of perfect form, supported on long, straight, stiB. stems. 

 It is free flowering. As a cut flower it is one of the best keepers and 

 has been designated by one of Philadelphia's best stores as the first 

 flower singled out by their patrons. It is a great ex- 

 hibition flower and equally valuable for garden decora- 

 tion. Plants, S5.00 each. 



Jersey Pride {Decorative). A large attractive flower, 

 apricot orange with golden suffusion, produced on 

 long stiff stems. Plants, S2.00 each. 



Joseph Faurax {Decorative) . Large attractive flowers 

 with rather narrow regularly-arranged petals, forming 

 a very full deep flower of a rich, oriental-red suffus- 

 ed with buff at the edges; free and continuous flower- 

 ing on good stiff stems. Plants, S3. 00 each. 



Judge Alton B. Parker {Decorative). A coppery-salmon 

 with golden hue. A large perfect flower; fine stems, 

 good for all purposes. Plants, $2.50 each. 



Kiku {Cactus). Flowers large for this type. The long 

 narrow petals so heavily incurved that when fully de- 

 veloped remind one of a Japanese Chrysanthemum which suggested 

 the name, being the Japanese for Chrysanthemum. Color bright, 

 lemon-yellow. Plants, §3.50 each. 



Living Gold {Decorative). This beautiful variety will prove a gem 

 for cutting and for the garden. It is of medium size, fine stems, 

 color sunflower yellow, with a salmon-red dash at the centre, giving 

 it just a touch of bronze. Plants, $2.50 each. 



Louise Aureau {Decorative). A splendid garden variety with fair- 

 sized flowers produced most profusely on stiff stems well above the 

 foliage of a bright pure mauve. Plants, S2.50 each. 



Mastodonte {Decorative). A large, light graceful flower composed of 

 broad rolled petals of a soft buff with a dash of red; fine for all 

 purposes. Plants, S2.S0 each.

CaCtus Dahlia. El Granada 

 (Offered on page 139) 



Mme. Butterfly {Paeonie). Ground color yellow, 

 heavily shaded with coral-red; a gay-colored 

 flower, very freely produced. Plants, $1.50 each. 



Mrs. O. D. Baldwin {Decorative). A good sized 

 flower on long stiff wiry stems, fine for cutting, the 

 base of the flower is not unlike the color of the 

 American Beauty Rose, a rich rosy-carmine, 

 suffused with, and shading to soft rose-pink at the 

 tips. Plants, $1.50 each. 



Mrs. E. A. Oliver {Decorative). Flowers very large on 

 long stems, color deep old rose suffused with gold. 

 Plants, $2.50 each. 



Mr. C. H. Dresselhuis {Decorative). For many 

 years the variety Delice has been a favorite cut 

 flower, and while beautiful it was not free-flowering. 

 In this new variety we have a similar color, a soft 

 rose-pink with white suffusion towards the tips, 

 and what is most important, one of the most prolific 

 bloomers; of medium size just right for cutting and 

 are splendidly supported on very long stiff stems. 

 We predict great popularity for this variety as it 

 is undoubtedly the best pink for cutting yet pro- 

 duced. Plants, $1.00 each. 



Nerissa {Pompon). A comparatively old but scarce 

 Pompon and a gem that should be in every garden. 

 The plant is of free ideal habit of growth, always 

 loaded with flowers; never over two inches in 

 diameter, supported gracefully on stiff, wiry stems; 

 absolutely perfect in form and of that beautiful 

 mauve-pink color that everybody likes. Beautiful 

 in the garden and a lovely cut flower. Plants, 

 50 cts. each. 



Oberon {Decorative). An immense well-built flower 

 and of distinct color. A deep old-rose with just 

 the faintest touch of violet. A splendid free-flower- 

 ing variety on excellent stems. Plants, $2.50 each. 



Olivia {Decorative). The medium-sized flowers of per- 

 fect form; produced very freely on good stiff stems 

 are of an attractive violet-mauve; usually tipped 

 with a small dash of white. Plants, $2.50 each.
