J. T. LOVETT. LITTLE SILVER. N. J. 



CLEOPATRA. 



[JNanie suggested as particularly appropriate, by an 

 expert in floriculture who visited our nurseries when 

 it was in flower.] 



This superb show Dahlia was exhibited by us in 1909 

 as Dr. Fred A. Cook and offered last year under the 

 name of North Pole. Being exceedingly beautiful and 

 rich velvety crimson-maroon, (a new color in Dahlias), 

 our friend thought it should be given the name of the 

 dusky beauty who won the heart of Marc Anthony. 

 The flowers are large and full, of perfect form, are 

 held high above the plant on long stiff stemis and in 

 lavish profusion. Plant of strong sipreading habit 

 Awarded certificate of merit by the American Institute. 

 Each, 75c; doz., $7.50. 



DR. HEXAMER (1909). 



A single variety that originated at the Monmouth 

 Nursery. The flowers are large, rich velvety maroon, 

 A set — one each of these ei] 



with distinct markings of canary-yellow at base of petals, 

 forming a unique and very pleasing contrast. Broad 

 petals which overlap and are recurved, forming a round 

 well built up flower. Blooms are borne on long, slender, 

 stiff stems, causing them to nod like L,ilies with every 

 breeze. It is truly grand; perhaps the finest of all 

 Single Dahlias. Awarded a certificate of merit by the 

 American Institute. Each, 50c; doz., $5.00. 



HENRY HUDSON (1909). 



A beautiful variety and the most brilliant in color of 

 all Peony-flowered Dahlias. Its large flowers are rich 

 glowing crimson changing to scarlet crimson with velvet 

 sheen and appear to sparkle, or rather radiate its 

 intense color as the sunlight falls upon it. The bright 

 yellow centers add to its brilliancy. Plant of vigorous 

 growth, medium height and a very free bloomer. Wonder- 

 fully graceful and decorative. Awarded certificate of 

 merit by the American Institute. Each, 75c; doz., 

 $7.50. 



It grand Dahlias — for $5.00. 



TWELVE BEST CACTUS DAHLIAS 



The cactus are the most popular and by many esteemed the finest of the Dahlias. With their long silken 

 petals and pure colors, they resemble the choicest greenhouse-grown Chrysanthemums, which they rival in grace and 

 beauty. 



The collection covers a varied and wide range of color; each one is entirely distinct from any or all of the 

 others— forming the best possible collection for the number named. 



ASCHENBEOEDEL. — Petals yellow at base, shading to 

 rose; with tips of pale lemon. The handsomest blending 

 of colors imaginable. Petals twisted and curled. 



AMOS PERRY.— Fiery scarlet with fringed petals. Pro- 

 duced freely on long stems. Excellent for cutting. 



COCKATOO. — Center of flower is lemon, outer petals 



orange. Outer petals curl up touching at their tips. A 

 beautiful variety. 



ELSE. — A combination of rose, amber and pure yellow; 



all in delicate shades. A great bloomer and cannot be 

 recommended too highly. 



FLOBADORA. — Rich deep reddish wine; flowers large. 



A profuse bloomer. 



KBIEMHILDE. — The long, slender outer petals of flesh- 

 pink produce a pleasing contrast with the broader center 

 ones of ivory white. Will keep in good condition, after 

 being cut, longer than any other cactus variety. 



LIBELLE. — .Rich purple; very distinct and striking. 



Strong grower and free bloomer.

 bright saffron-yellow; short stems. The largest cactus 

 Dahlia we have ever grown.
