21SI Excelsior. A new and curiously 

 interesting strain, somewhat like the 

 single Cactus type, but with cut or fringed petals, 

 grotesquely curled and twisted, in many cases re- 

 sembling the blossoms of Gaillardia or Coreop- 

 sis. In color they vary very much, having in 



addition to the shades usual to the Dahlia many new and odd tints. Of 

 strong growth and throwing the flowers up on long stems well above the 

 foliage. (.See cut.) 25 



2182 Slng"le Giant Perfection. This strain is a decided advance on the ordi- 

 nary singles, and should soon displace them by their many merits. The plants 

 are of strong, robust habit, and produce in great abundance flowers of immense 

 size averagings inches across, of the most bewildering variety of coloring.

 cutting purposes, and admirably 

 adapted for planting in masses 

 and for border decoration

 from July till November, their 

 exquisite' pale lavender blos- 

 soms being greatly admired Ijy 

 all visitors; the plants grew about 

 18 inches high and had as many 

 as 50 flowers open at one time.
