New American Dahlias : ee 
of our own introduction 
We take pleasure in presenting on this and 
the following page the Eight Splendid New 
American Sorts, which are now offered for the 
first time. We acquired the entire stock of 
these from the raisers, after giving them a 
thorough test in our own trial grounds. They 
were selected out of some sixty new varieties 
which were submitted to us by different grow- 
ers of new sorts, and we unhesitatingly recom- 
mend them as valuable additions and believe 
they will quickly become firm favorites in 
all collections of fine Dahlias. All of them 
are very free flowering, the masses of bloom 
which they produce making them valu- 
able for garden decoration, and at the 
same time each one will prove desirable 
for cutting purposes. 
These new varieties’ can only 
be furnished in green _ plants, 
ready for delivery after April 
15th.

Decorative Dahlia 
Easton 
Not an extra large 
flower, but a variety 
which, on account of 
its brilliant color, good 
form and remarkable 
free-flowering habit, is 
certain to become a 
standard, both as a cut 
flower as well as for 
garden decoration; in 
color it is a brilliant Turkish or Oriental 
red. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
New Decorative Dahlia Eventide 
A splendid flower of perfect form, on long, 
stiff stems, which for all purposes may be 
termed a white Dahlia, there being but the 
faintest flush of delicate rose on the edge of 
the flower, which seems to intensify its pure- 
ness. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 
New Cactus Dahlia General J. B. Seth 
A rich, gorgeous Dahlia of a brilliant scar- 
let, with orange-scarlet shadings, of perfect 
form, held well above the foliage on stiff 
stems; this variety has been a glow of color 
until the first week in November. 50 cts. each; 
$5.00 per dozen.
