New Single Dahlias. 



While many of the single Dahlias heretofore introduced, 

 have proved interesting as individual flowers, especially for 

 cutting, the set here oflered possesses such distinct charactstic 

 in habit of growth, freedom of bloom and perfect shaped flow 

 ers, which are so vastly superior to anything before ofi'ered 

 that once seen they must become universal favorites. 



The habit of the plants is simply perfection ; they naturally 

 grow into shapely bushy compact plants, not over 3 feet high, 

 which from early Summer until late Fall are literally covered 

 with flowers, eclipsing anything ever offered in this type. 

 Anemone. This name was very appropriately suggested for 

 this variety on account of its striking resemblance to that 

 most beautiful Fall flowering perennial, ' ' Anemone Japon- 

 ica Alba." The flowers which are pure white and of large 

 size, are produced on long wiry stems, making it one of the 

 most useful Dahlias for cutting. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per 

 doz.; $20.00 per 100. 

 St. George. The grandest single Dahlia ever introduced. 

 The flowers are a pure clear yellow, 3 to 4 inches in diam- 

 eter, and borne on long stems. This variety was awarded 

 the first prize the past season in New York, by the Amer- 

 ican Institute Fair, as the best new seedling exhibited, an 

 honor never before accorded a single Dahlia. 25 cts. each ; 

 $2.50 per doz. ; $20.00 per 100.
