DAHLIAS OF SPECIAL MERIT. 



JACK ROSE — A decorative Dahlia, very similar in 

 color to the famous Gen. Jacqueminot Rose. This variety 

 created a sort of furor by reason of its remarkable color 

 and the fact that not a bloom has yet been produced with 

 an open or green center. In addition, the flowers are of 

 large size, under ordinary culture averaging five inches 

 in diameter, and are held on long, stiff stems. 



Awarded a certificate of merit by the Penx. Horti- 

 cultural Society. Each, 50c; doz., $5.00. 



Perle d'Or. 



AURORA — In this, perfection has been well nigh at- 

 tained both in color and form. The color may be termed 

 "sunset" ; a beautiful blending of various shades of pink 

 and apricot. Each, 30c; doz., $3.00. 



PIUS X — The finest white cactus Dahlia to date. 

 Although it is slightly tinted sulphur, it is larger than 

 Spotless Queen and just as perfect in form. Each, 35c ; 

 doz., $3.50. 



VOLKER — Although not a novelty, it is the best and 

 finest yellow cactus. Unlike the other yellow cactus 

 varieties, this one flowers very freely. Each, 20c ; doz., 

 $2.00. 



PINK PEARL — A new cactus variety with petals that 

 are clear pink at base and shaded lighter in a uniform 

 way to the tip, terminating pure white. A most valuable 

 variety for cutting. Each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 



CHARM — A unique cactus. The center petals are 

 white, edged with pale yellow, the outer ones shading to 

 light blush, edged salmon. Sometimes the flowers are 

 entirely salmon. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



FLORADORA — A profuse blooming cactus. Flowers 

 large, of rich, deep reddish wine. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



LIBELLED — A very distinct and striking cactus. Flow- 

 ers rich pure purple. A strong grower and a free bloomer. 

 Each, 50c; doz., $5.00. 



MRS. WINTERS— A decorative variety with perfectly 

 formed, snow white flowers. The petals are of unique 

 form, the flower being very full, with many petals — im- 

 parting a soft effect. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



PERLE d'Or — The forerunner of a new race and un- 

 like any other variety in form. Flowers of exquisite 

 shape and finish ; pure spotless white — each petal being 

 fimbriated or fringed, resembling a huge Carnation. A 

 strong grower and free bloomer. (See cut.) Each, 20c; 

 doz., $2.00. 



PERLHILDE — A sport of the famous Kriemhilde and 

 exactly like it, except in color of flowers, which are pure 

 white slightly suffused with faint blush. Each, 30c ; doz., 

 $3.00. 



SPOTLESS QUEEN — A snow white cactus. A per- 

 fect flower with long, graceful petals and of elegant form. 

 A free and constant bloomer. A superior variety for 

 cutting. Each, 20c; doz., $2.00. 



A set — one each of twelve — for $3.00. 



FIVE GIANT FLOWERED DAHLIAS 



The flowers of the five following varieties are of im- 

 mense size, very perfect in form and exquisite coloring, 

 rendering them beautiful garden flowers and desirable for 

 cutting. 



CUBAN GIANT— Perhaps the largest in flower of all 

 show Dahlias. Each bloom is a veritable, large ball of 

 bright maroon. A strong grower and a free bloomer. 



HENRY F. MICH ELL — A decorative variety, unique 

 in color ; both odd and handsome — old gold and bronzy 

 yellow, happily blended. 



MME. VAN DEN DAELE— A grand decorative 

 Dahlia, producing flowers six inches or more in diameter, 

 which in color are a soft silvery-rose, shading to white 

 at the tips of petals. At the Dahlia Show of theAMERi- 

 CAN In'stitute my vase of this variety was pronounced by 

 many to be the finest vase of Dahlias in the entire ex- 

 hibition. 



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 very freely. 



SOUVENIR DE GUSTAVE DOAZON— The largest 

 in flower of any Dahlia I have ever grown. It is a deco- 

 rative variety, often eight inches in diameter. The mam- 

 moth flowers of bright terra cotta red are frequently 

 tipped with white and are freely produced. 



Price, each, 25c; doz., $2.50. 



A set — one each of the five — for $1.00. 



CACTUS DAHLIAS 



The most popular and by many esteemed the finest of 

 all the Dahlias. With their long, silky petals and pure 

 colors, they resemble the choice greenhouse grown 

 Chrysanthemums, which they very nearly equal in grace 

 and beauty. 



Capstan. 



ALPHA — Creamy white, with stripes and spots of 

 reddish purple. 



BRIDESMAID — Primrose, with outer petals light pink.
