Dreer's Select Dahlias 



Dahlias True to Name. — Practically all of the Dahlias which we offer this season have been grown at our Locust 

 Farm Nurseries under our personal supervision, every precaution was taken to prevent errors and our customers may depend 

 upon receiving stock absolutely true to name. 



Dahlia Roots or Plants. — Unless otherwise noted in the descriptions of the various varieties, we supply all Dahlias 

 in strong dormant roots, and we believe our supply this season is ample to meet all demands. However, in case the demand 

 for certain varieties exhausts our supply of roots, we will send out strong 

 growing plants which will give equally good results. 



Dahlias for Cutting. — We give a list of the best varieties for this 

 purpose on page 27. 



The space at our disposal in this catalogue does not 

 allow us to give full descriptions and but few illustrations. 

 For same see our Garden Book for 1909, pages 133 

 to 140. 



New Quilled Show Dahlia 



"Dreer's White" 



This new quilled Show Dahlia is proba- 

 bly the most important introduction of the 

 season, not only on account of its color, 

 form and size, but also on account of its re- 

 markable free-flowering habit. In our trial 

 grounds the past summer it bloomed as 

 profusely as A. D. Livoni. Its flowers are 

 of large size, frequently measuring 6 inches 

 across and are borne on stout, stiff stems, 

 nodding lightly, and while it resembles in 

 form in a general way the popular Grand 

 Duke Alexis, it is of a much more refined 

 and perfect build, and never shows a trace 

 of any color, always being of a pure glisten- 

 ing white. It was shown at the annual 

 exhibition of the New England Dahlia 

 Society, where it received an Honorary 

 Award, the highest award given. The 

 Florists Exchange, reporting on this exhi- 

 bition, says : " Among notable exhibits 

 perhaps the most striking was that of 

 Henry A. Dreer, Inc., Philadelphia, who 

 exhibited a lot of their new Dahlia Dreer's 

 White, and which were magnificent flowers 

 of a pure white." 



We offer strong plants ready April 15th.
