 ing to season and conditions. Price, pot-grown

Decorative Dahlias

 quisite form, while the color is beautiful, clear, 

 live pink. 



Flora — The best pure white decorative; large, ear]^, 

 profuse and continuous bloomer, long stems.

 color is that deep golden yellow found in the 

 Golden Wedding Chrysanthemum. 



Grand Duke Alexis — White edged lavender, quilled 

 petals; immense blooms of perfect form. 



Jack Rose — The best crimson for garden or cutting; 

 that brilliant crimson red that makes the "Jack'* 

 Rose so popular, and suggested the name.

Dingee Surpassing Dahlias 



These popular flowers are a great specialty with us 

 and our collection contains the finest new and old vari- 

 eties. Dahlias succeed in any soil or situation. They 

 bloom profusely, beginning about the first of August! 

 and continuing until killed by frost, producing flowers 

 of magnificent form and exquisite colors. After bloom- 

 ing, the roots should be taken up and wintered in a dry 

 cellar. Plant them freely. Their gorgeous flowers 

 com.ing as they do, when almost all other flowers 

 have vanished, will amply repay their trifling 

 cost. A small collection will make a magnificent 

 display. 



All Dahlias supplied in strong divided roots up 

 until about April 1st, or until stock is exhausted, 

 after that date pot-grown plants, which give bet- 

 ter results than roots for the same reason that 

 one stalk of corn in a hill will produce a finer 

 ear than if there were 8 or 10 stalks together, coming 

 into bloom earlier and producing a greater profusion 

 of flowers. Our customers can rely upon our experi- 

 ence in this particular. Please note the low prices, also 

 the extensive list, embracing the finest varieties in cul- 

 tivation.
