New Double White Dahlia— " Storm King." (Blizzaed.) 



Grand New White Dahlia — "Storm King." (Blizzard.) 



Magnificent, perfectly formed snow-white flowers, borne in the greatest profusion on long, strong stems, perfectly 

 suited for cut flower purposes. The blooms are of medium size, perfect in form, with petal slightly notched. In habit 

 it is similar to A. D. Livoni, but is a more profuse bloomer than that free flowering variety, while the stems average 

 longer, and as the plant branches close to the ground, it enables it to withstand winds and drouth better than any other 

 variety. It is a strong vigorous grower until coming into flower, when it should receive a top-dressing of manure or 

 fertilizer in order to support the enormous and continual crop of flowers, and prevent the plant exhausting itself. An 

 inspection of the cut shown above will demonstrate the reason for this. It has been exhibited at many flower shows, 

 and has been pronounced the best all-round White Show Dahlia to date. For the florist it will prove 

 valuable either as a cut flower, or as a bedder, or as a pot plant. We offer strong plants from 2 inch pots 

 thoroughly established, for April 15th and later delivery, 50 cts. each ; $4.00 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100.
