 good stems. The coloring is unique, the face of

Hortnlanus Piet. Flower over 8 inches in diameter, of 

 the most delicate shade of shrimp-pink, the tip of 

 each petal barely touched with gold. The entire 

 flower has a suffusion of delicate tints of red and 

 yellow, which gives a glow yet softness of color of 

 great charm. $3.50 per doz.; $20.00 per 100. 



Insulinde. One of the most popular varieties both as 

 a cut flower as well as for garden decoration. The 

 blooms under ordinary cultivation are from 7 to 8 

 inches in diameter, with just sufficient broad, long, 

 curled and twisted petals to form a perfect and 

 graceful flower. These are held horizontally on the 

 stem like a Chrysanthemum. Color, a beautiful 

 golden ochre, with salmon-red suffusion which 

 deepens towards the centre. $3.50 per doz.; $20.00

 ing varieties with wonderfully beautiful good sized

 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Ducliesse de Vendome. A French introduction that 

 we can recommend highly both as a garden variety 

 as well as for cut flowers on account of its free- 

 flowing habit, and medium sized pure white flowers. 

 $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



earl Williams. An exceptionally attractive fancy or 

 variegated variety; the flowers are of largest size, 

 of splendid deep formation, of a brilliant crimson- 

 scarlet color, each petal tipped with white. $2.50 

 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Eldorado. Picture a comparatively low growing bush 

 with immense golden-yellow blooms which stand 

 up and look you in the face, and you have Eldorado.

 flower which corresponds with the size, a splendid 

 Dahlia in every way. $7.50 per doz.; $00.00 per 100.

 quisite beauty and of great size and depth, having

 one of the largest and deepest of its class, of per- 

 fect form with petals just sufficiently irregular to 

 prevent any stiffness in formation of the flowers.

Jersey's Radiant. Very large flower, of Bitter-sweet 

 orange color, one of the best exhibition varieties and 

 fine for cutting. $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100.
