Two Perfect Decorative Dahlias 



Of the two Dahlias offered here as "Perfect," the variety 

 Jersey's Beauty has for the past five years been an outstanding 

 feature at not only almost every American Show, but it has. 

 become equally as popular at the great European Dahlia Exhi- 

 bitions; heretofore, it has been in a class by itself, but we are 

 pleased to be able to now offer as a fitting companion the French 

 variety Couronne d'Or, or Golden Crown, in which we have a. 

 close counterpart in all of its good points, but of different color- 

 Both varieties are of absolutely perfect form, the flowers are 

 of large size and are supported on long straight, stiff stems, the 

 plants are of strong, vigorous habit of growth, early and free- 

 flowering, and hold their flowers in perfect shape to the end of 

 the season. As cut flowers, they are among the best keepers andl 

 both are unequalled for garden decoration. 



Jersey's Beauty. Beautiful shade of rose pink. We have a 

 large stock which enables us to offer roots at $1.00 each; $10.00' 

 per doz. 



Couronne d'Or (Golden Crown). Rich golden apricot, reverse 

 of petals rosy carmine which reflects in a luminous manner to> 

 the face of the flower. Stock limited; roots, $5.00 each. 

 We will furnish one root each of the two "perfect" varieties for 



$5.50.
