EDITH IVOOSXER 



(Decorative) 



While the introducer classes this wonder- 

 fully distinct variety as one of the Peony-flowered type, it has, 

 with us, been of true decorative form to the end of the season. 

 The flowers are of large size, on stiff" stems, the ground color 

 a soft amber-yellow, marked and blended with sunset-red. It 

 is of excellent habit of growth and a remarkably free bloomer. 

 Plants, $2.00 each. 



HEEEN DURNBAIJGH 



(Hybrid Cactus) 



Everybody is pleased with this, and while of California 

 origin we believe it is even better here in the East than in its 

 own home. The flowers, while not gigantic, are of good 

 size, very double and of splendid form, the petals being cleft at 

 the tips adds to its graceful appearance, it is early and free and 

 the flowers are held erect on good stiff stems, in color it is of a 

 delicate blush deepening to a glowing but soft rose towards the 

 centre. Plants, $1.50 each. 



MARY C. BURNS 



(Decorative) 



We were enthused over this Dahlia when we saw it growing 

 in the grounds of the originator during the summer of 1919 and 

 our own trials during 1920 have further convinced us of its su- 

 perior merit. It is unique in color and entirely distinct from 

 all other varieties, the flowers are large, of perfect decorative 

 form, in color it is of a luminous old gold with reddish reverse, 

 a novel and pleasing color combination. The flowers are held 

 erect on good stiffs stems and are produced in great profusion. 

 Plants, $3.50 each.
