 suffusion which makes it stand out prominently in the garden 

 among all others. 50 cts. each.

America's noted horticulturists, has been prominent at the shows of the American 

 Dahlia Society, and has been awarded the Society's Gold Medal. It is of free-flower- 

 ing habit. The flowers, supported on long stiff stems, are of good size, perfect 

 form, and in color a rich chrome-yellow, with salmon-red suffusion. 75 cts. each.

 it is a beautiful shade of salmon-pink, with old rose suffusion and 

 illuminated with a lively golden sheen. Sl-OO each.

 composed of nearly flat petals. Every flower comes with a perfect 

 centre and is held erect on long stiff stems, very free-flowering. SZ.OO
