AND I PAY FOR DELIVERY 

 Mrs. Theodore Roosevelt — Undoubtedly the most 

 popular giant Dahlia produced in recent years. The 

 size, color, grace of form and length of stem make the 

 flowers from the Mrs. Roosevelt far superior to al- 

 most all other Dahlias. None surpasses it and few 

 equal it. The flower measures 6 to 8 inches, and the 

 color is a delicate pink, shading to soft, clear pink. 

 Those grown by us the past season have attracted 

 wide attention and invariably the most enthusiastic 

 praise. 



Madame Van den Dael — A grand variety of immense 

 size and beautiful form. Color soft shell-pink, with 

 deeper pink markings. Flowers measure 6 to 7 

 inches in diameter. Strong grower and profuse 

 bloomer, making a beautiful plant. In the Eastern 

 markets buyers of cut flowers demand more Madame 

 Van den Dael and Mrs. Roosevelt than of any 

 other Dahlias. 



Gettysburg — Bright, rich, pure scarlet, extremely 

 large flower, v.ith full, round, high center. It is an 

 early and profuse bloomer and the flowers measure 

 6 to 7 inches in diameter. The best scarlet Dahlia 

 ever produced. 

 Frank L. Bassett — Bright royal purple, shading to 

 blue. Flowers quite large and exceedingly hand- 

 some. Plant is dwarf, of branching habit, and is one 

 of the most profuse bloomers ever developed. No 

 Dahlia collection can be counted complete without 

 it contains the Frank L. Bassett. 

 Sylvia — Flowers 4 to G inches in diameter; color white, center shading 

 to pink on the outer petals. Plant a strong, 'vigorous grower, the 

 flowers shapely and beautiful. Nothing more pleasing in Dahlias 

 has ever been grown.

Pink Dandy — Solid pink. Flowers of beau- 

 tiful form, with full, high center; the flowers 

 that bring the highest prices in the city stores. 

 The plant is strong and vigorous, and the 

 branches bear a multitude of blossoms. The 

 greatest of all pink Show Dahlias. 



John Walker — Pure white, shading to lemon 

 at base of petals and producing a color effect 

 that is as dainty as can well be imagined. 

 Blooms profusely and is in every sense a high- 

 ly desirable Dahlia. 



Rudolph Kuhl— Oddly variegated. Dark 

 crimson and white in the oddest of markings. 

 Sometimes the flowers on one plant are part 

 of them solid crimson, the others variegated 

 with now and then one nearly all white. One 

 of the showiest we have ever grown . 



Thomas White— Untrue to its name, the 

 flower of this Dahlia is almost black; the 

 color may probably be best described as black 

 crimson, though one should see it in order to 

 appreciate how nearly black it really is. Very 

 free flowering and a desirable addition to any 

 collection. 



Red Hussar — Exceedingly bright scarlet. 

 One of the best Show Dahlias. The flowers 

 are long-lived, and their pronounced color 

 gives them the rich and dashing look which 

 suggested their name. 



Emily — Lavender and white in beautiful varie- 

 gation. Nothing daintier nor prettier in the 

 Dahlia family. Free-flowering and of splen- 

 did size.
