spotless Queen. 



In arranging the following list, we have eliminated 

 all sorts that have, in any way, proved defective. 



HABBOR LIGHT.— Brilliant orange-red. 



HARMONY. — Orange-red and old gold, charmingly 

 blended; soft, silken petals.

 Dahlias; excellent for bedding.

PEONY-FLOWERED DAHLIAS. 



This new class of semi-double exceedingly graceful and 

 decorative Dahlias, is rapidly gaining favor. The flowers, 

 which are frequently six to eight inches in diameter, 

 resemble somewhat the magnificent semi-double Japanese 

 Tree Peonies, hence the name. As the flowers are borne 

 on long stems and all the varieties bloom with great 

 freedom, they are valuable alike for cutting and for 

 garden embellishment. 



GEISHA. — Flowers of enormous size and very distinct 

 both in make up and color. The early blooms are quite 

 double, becoming looser until they are semi-double at 

 the close of the season. The broad petals are much 

 twisted and curled, orange scarlet commingled with yel- 

 low in a fantastic manner — presenting a decided Japanese 

 eff^ect. Medium height. Each, 50c.

 orative. Large loose well made up flowers held well 

 above the plant. Early and free bloomer. Medium height.
