Giant Dahlia Beloit. 



GRAND GIANT DAHI.IAS. 



The seven sorts here offered are, without exception, the largest 



*nd most perfect douhle-flowering Dahlias now grown, flowers 



of all of them attaining a size of between five and six inclies 



across under ordinary cultivation. As cut flowers for vases they 



are exceedingly effective and last a long time in good condition. 



Beloit. Particularly effective on account of its very large 



flowers, borne on stem-; ]8 to "iO inches long and held well 



above the foliage; these are full doulile, of splendid form, of 



a rich purplish -garnet, shading deeper towards the centre.

 questionably the most valuable Dahlia sent out in many 

 years. In color a pure glistening white, and resembling 

 in form the popular Grand Duke Alexis, while in free- 

 dom of flowering it is not surpassed by any. It has suc- 

 ceeded in all parts of the country, has been much admired
