 fusion; composed of curled, wavy petals forming a graceful 

 flower. 50 cts. each. 



Romance. The color effect of this at a short distance is 

 vivid orange, but is really a fancy or variegated Dahlia, 

 orange at the base and heavily speckled, striped and splashed with 

 carmine, a fascinating and artistic blend of Oriental colors. Entirely 

 distinct in fancies and greatly admired. $2.00 each. 



Rookwood. A remarkably distinct Dahlia in every way, habit of 

 growth, heavy, vigorous and spreading but dwarf, unusually free- 

 flowering, coming into bloom early and producing 100 per cent, perfect flowers to the end of the

 season. Rookwood is different from all others and none will 

 be disappointed with it. $3.50 each.

 color. The flowers are large, of best decorative formation, they 

 are borne on long stiff stems; in good shape to the end of the
