 TEN BEST DECORATIVE DAHLIAS. 



Jack Rose. 



CATHERINE DUER.— Pure dazzling crimson; large 

 flat flowers. Especially attractive under artificial light. 



F. L. BASSETT.— Rich carmine-purple; extra full and 

 perfect. 



HENRY F. MITCHELL.— Old gold and bronzy-yel- 

 low, prettily blended. Unique and handsome. 



JACK ROSE. — Has created a decided sensation by 

 reason of its beautiful color, being that of the famous 

 Gen. Jacqueminot Rose, and the added merits of being 

 a very free bloomer and the flowers are always full and 

 perfectly formed. The flowers are held on long stitt 

 stems. (See cut). Each, 35c; doz., $3.50. 



JEAN CHARMET. — Finely finished flowers six inches 

 in diameter on long stiff stems; shell pink, suffused with 

 pure soft pmk, resembling a fine double peony. Each, 

 35c; doz., $3.50. 



MRS. ROOSEVELT.— A quilled variety, similar in 

 make up to the popular Grand Duke Alexis. The flow- 

 ers, however, are larger, more uniformly perfect in 

 form, soft silvery-rose in color and are produced freely. 



SoiiTenir de Gitstave Doazon . 



MRS. WINTERS.— Perfectly formed, snow white flow- 

 ers. The petals are of unique form, the flower being 

 very full, with many petals — imparting a soft effect. 



SOUVENIR DE GUSTAVE DOAZON.— The largest 

 in flower of any decorative Dahlia I have ever grown; 

 they are often eight inches or more in diameter. The 

 mammoth flowers of bright terra-cotta red are frequently 

 tipped with white and are freely produced. (See cut). 



WM. AGNE^\. — Intense glowing crimson; flowers well 

 built up and perfect. A strong grower and free bloomer. 

 A grand variety.

 formed flowers of pure primrose yellow; very valuable.
