Decorative Dahlia, 

 Rayonanthe 



Amun Ra or The Sun God. Wonderfully distinct in color and 

 formation. The outer petals of the mammoth flowers are of 

 gorgeous copper and orange tones, shading to gold and amber,

 that of a gorgeous sunset. 50 cts. each.

 fect form; in color a light cadmium yellow overlaid grenadine 

 red. The blending of these two colors produces a rich bronze

Champagne. Aside of being one of the largest Dahlias this 

 wonderful variety has not only size to commend it but is a 

 model for shape, habit of growth, and above all, its remarkable 

 and distinct color; aptly described by its introducer as "Golden 

 champagne" with chamoise shadings. 50 cts. each. 



Couronne d'Or. A French variety which we feel justified in 

 placing in the same class with that most popular of all Decora- 

 tive Dahlias, Jersey's Beauty, but differs in color; a rich golden 

 apricot with the reverse of golden carmine, reflecting in a lumi- 

 nous manner to face of the flower. 50 cts. each. 



Edna Ferber. Always attracts attention on account of its ex- 

 treme size and beauty. Color, glistening coral, shading to old 

 gold at base of the petals, these are curled and twisted, forming 

 an extremely full flower which is held erect on fine stems. 50 cts. 

 each. 



Elite Glory. A sensational, massive, mammoth, rich red, exhi- 

 bition variety with heavy, stout stems of sturdy vigorous habit. 

 50 cts. each. 



Eliza Clarke Bull. A wonderfully good pure white, one of the 

 largest and deepest of its class, of perfect form with petals just 

 sufficiently irregular to prevent any stiffness in formation of the 

 flowers. 75 cts. each.
