Cactus Dautia Marcuerite BoucHon 
Marguerite Bouchon (Cactus). We first offered this va- 
riety in 1913, but due toan unusually strong demand we have 
not been able to catalogue it for several seasons past. We feel 
just as well pleased with this variety now as we did when it 
was first introduced, and we therefore repeat the description 
given of it in our Garden Book of 1913; ‘‘ We have no hesi- 
tancy in saying that thisis the most beautiful Cactus Dahlia yet 
introduced. It is absolutely perfect in form, color a charming 
shade of brilliant yet soft rose, with a very large white centre 
and distinctly defined white tips.’? $1.00 each. 
Mme. Coissard (Pony). To us this is the most artistic and 
graceful Dahlia of this type yet introduced; its flowers are 
large, composed of incurving shell-like petals; these are of 
brilliant French purple or carmine-crimson, freely marked, 
shaded and suffused with white. $1.00 each. 
Mondscheibe (Pzony), An imposing, large-sized, Pzony- 
flowered soft yellow, held erect on good stiff stems, useful for 
cutting and valuable for garden decoration. 75 cts. each. 
Sorts listed at 50 cts each for $5.00 per doz.; $40.00 per 100.

DREER’S COLLECTION OF 
TEN GREAT DAHLIAS 
We have singled out these ten varieties from 
among the Cactus, Decorative and Pzony types as _ 
worthy of every Dahlia fancier’s special attention. 
While some of these are comparatively recent intro- 
ductions the majority are sorts which we have 
been growing for a number of years, but to 
which we have been unable to give the promi- 
nence which they deserved, due to the fact 
that they are either difficult or slow to propa- 
gate, and as a result the demand has ex- 
ceeded the supply. We have now succeeded 
in working up a fair stock, and take this 
opportunity to bring them to your notice, 
feeling certain that everyone who plants them 
will, the same as we do, appreciate the great 
merit of each individual variety. — 
Bianca (Hybrid Cactus). Uniformly large 
flowers, 6 inches and over in diameter, 
with moderately broad petals forming a 
splendid symmetrical and graceful flower of 
a soft, pleasing shade of mauve-pink, pass- 
ing to a silvery-white at the tips. Ad- 
mired by everybody. 75 cts. each. 
Bertha Von Suttner (Pzony). Good 
sized flowers produced early and continu- 
ously remaining of good quality to the end 
of the season, in color a pleasing salmon-pink with 
yellow suffusion. 50 cts. each. 
Geisha (Pzony). Showy and attractive, unique in 
form and color; the rich colored flowers are original 
in form, consisting of peculiarly twisted and curled 
petals of an effective rich combination of scarlet and 
gold.- 50 cts. each. 
Kalif (Cactus), A truly majestic flower, frequently 
measuring over 9 inches in diameter, of perfect Cac- 
tus form, in colora pure scarlet. The habit of the plant isall 
that can be desired, growing with us about 43 feet high; the 
gigantic flowers, which are produced very freely, are held 
erect on strong stiff stems, making it a most effective and 
useful variety for cutting as well as for garden decoration. 
$1.00 each. ; 
Oregon Beauty (Decorative). We doubt if there has been 
a single visitor to our Dahlia fields in the past three years 
who has not included this brilliant gorgeous variety in his 
selection. It has also been prominently displayed at all ex- 
hibitions, its rich color, an intense Oriental-red with golden 
sheen and garnet suffusion, makes it one of the varieties that 
stands out prominently among all of its neighbors. Add to this 
large size, long stiff stems, with an unusual freedom of bloom, 
makes it one of the most desirable garden varieties. 36 cts. 
each. 
Princess Juliana (Decorative). An ideal pure white for all 
purposes. A splendid cut flower anda good decorator for the 
garden. It is one of the earliest to flower, and continues in 
good shape throughout the season. It holds its flowers well 
above the foliage on stiff, wiry stems. 50 cts. each. 
Red Flamingo (Decorative). Very large, with broad wavy 
petals, forming a unique rich luminous crimson-red flower of 
unusual attractiveness. A splendid decorative free-flowering 
variety. 75 cts. each.
