TEN BEST DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 



Jack Rose. 



CATHERINE DIJER. — Pure dazzling crimson; large flat 

 flowers. IJspecially attractive under artificial light. 



CLIFFORD W. BRUTOX.— Canary-yellow, suffused and 

 pencilled on reverse of petals with lavender. An old 

 variety but one of the best. 



DELICE. — Bright pink, suffused with lavender-pink. 



Of perfect form and doubtless the finest pink decorative 

 Dahlia. A free bloomer. 



JACK ROSE. — Has created a decided sensation by rea- 

 son 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 per- 

 fectly formed. The flowers are held on long stiff stems. 

 (See Cut). 



JEANNE CHARMET. — Finely finished flowers, six inches 

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

 pure soft pink, resembling a fine double Peony. A free 

 bloomer. 



MME. VAN DEN DAEL.— Clear bright pink, lighter 

 toward center. Very large. Medium tall grower. (See 

 cut). 



MRS. ROOSETELT. — A quilled variety, similar in make 

 up to the popular Grand Duke Alexis. The flowers, how- 

 ever, are larger, more uniformly perfect in form, soft 

 silvery-rose in color and produced freely. 



MRS. "\VINTERS.— Perfectly formed, snow white flowers. 

 The petals are of unique form, the flowers being very 

 full, with many petals — imparting a soft effect. 



PERLE D'OR.— Pure spotless white, each petal being 

 fimbriated or fringed, resembling a huge white carnation; 

 very distinct. 



SOIJV. DE GUSTATE 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. 



Price, each, 20c; .doz., $2.00; 100, $12.00. 



A set — one each of the 10 varieties for $1.75.
