 DECORATIVE DAHLIA 



This is without doubt the best variegated Dahlia of the "Decorative" type. 

 The flowers are from 5 to 6 inches across. The ground color is white, prettily 

 marbled, veined, striped and blotched with reddish-violet in beautiful and 

 indescribable variegation. Occasionally this variety runs a solid color, 

 as is the case with most variegated Dahlias, when it is a most beautiful 

 shade of reddish-violet. It blooms profusely, has long stems and so is 

 specially valuable for cutting. (See engraving.) Price, field-grown roots, 

 50c. each; §5.00 per doz. // wanted by Parcel Post add Postage at
