THE BEST COMMERCIAL BRONZE OR 

 AUTUMN TINTED CUT FLOWER 

 DAHLIA— "Jean Chazot or Gay Paree" 



We consider this French introduction not only the 

 best commercial bronze or autumn tinted cut flower 

 but it is also one of the best all-around varieties that 

 has yet been produced for garden decoration. 



The habit of the plant is all that could be wished 

 for. A free, upright grower, long stiff wiry stems hold 

 the flowers well above the foliage in such a manner 

 as to display their full beauty, it is one of the most 

 prolific flowering, coming into bloom early and con- 

 tinuing in good condition to the end of the season, 

 we have never seen an imperfect flower, these are of 

 good size, of splendid hybrid-cactus form and in color 

 a beautiful golden bronze with just a faint suffusion 

 of Nasturtium-red that intensifies its brilliancy and 

 adds to its charm. 



Price — Strong divided roots, $1.00 each; .<510.0O per 



doz.; $75.00 per 100.

Cigarette (Hybrid Cactus). This distinct

 shaped flower of great substance on 

 very long stems of best quality 15 OO
