ACROCLINIUM NEW LARGE DOUBLE HYBRIDS (Annual) 



1022 The double flowers are extremely large, at least twice the size of the ordinary strain,

 of color is most remarkable, being shades of salmon, pink, cerise and white. (See

BEGONIA MULTI FLORA FL. PLENO "COPPERY GOLD" 



(Tender Perennial)

 effective when opening. The combination of colors is wonderful; the foundation of

 For beds and especially for pot cultivation this new multiflora Begonia is extremely 

 valuable. (See illustration.) Pkt. 50c

DAHLIA MINIATURE HYBRIDS 



(Tender Perennial)

 many of the prize winning named 

 varieties shown by us at recent shows. 

 The miniatures enjoy greater popularity 

 than any other types of Dahlias at this 

 time. The plants average 2 }4 feet high 

 and the flowers about 3 inches in diam- 

 eter. Our hybrids will produce vari- 

 ous interesting types, semi-double, 

 double, cactus, etc. Seed started in- 

 doors, or in a frame during February 

 and March, will produce flowering , 



plants the same season. (See illus-
