New Creations in Dahlias. 



While it is true that fine Dahlias can be grown from seed and they give great pleasure owing to the uncer- 

 tainty as to what they will bring forth, and, of course, all new varieties arc raised from seed, yet. there is m> 

 dependence on the color or form, and the finest named varieties are selected from seedlings. In many cases one 

 out of ten thousand, and in some cases millions, are grown without producing one worthy of perpetuating. I have, 

 therefore, decided to offer my customers a very select list of the choicest named varieties i i the best classes. Those 

 who have never grown the choicest Dahlias cannot realize their stately grace and exquisite beauty. There is a 

 brilliancy of color; a live lustre in Dahlias that is seldom found in any other flower. A brilliancy <>f color that 

 cannot be reproduced, but must be seen to be appreciated. 



GUARANTEE: I guarantee every Dahlia root sent out by me to be absolutely true to name and just as repre- 

 sented; to reach customers in good condition, and will replace, free of charge, any proving to the contrary 

 •JACK ROSE (Decorative) — This new Dahlia 

 is acknowledged the greatest of its type. 

 The flowers are large to very large, of 

 beautiful round form, often measuring 5 to 

 6 inches in diameter, outer petals reflex- 

 ing and always perfectly full to the center. 

 The color is a rich glowing crimson, the 

 shade of the "Jack" Rose bud, that bril- 

 liantly rich color that is seldom seen, and 

 which appeals strongly to everyone. A 

 color that is scarcely to be described, nor 

 pigments reprouuce, but must be seen to 

 be apreciated. 



The plant is of medium height, short, 

 stocky, branching habit, producing the 

 flowers on long erect stems. It is an ex- 

 tremely early bloomer, and blooms continu- 

 ously until killed down by frost. Unlike 

 so many of the older varieties, it does not 

 exhaust itself, but the flowers are perfectly 

 full to the center until the last. It makes 

 strong roots that are easily kept, while 

 the blooms last on the plant a long time, 

 never developing the open center, and last 

 longer when cut than any other Dahlia. 

 Strong roots, by mail, postpaid, 50 cents 

 each. 

 ETHEL SCHMIDT (Fancy) — A new fancy or 

 variegated Dahlia, of full round form, most 

 exquisitely marked, and an early and ex- 

 tremely profuse and continuous bloomer. 

 The flowers are pure white, lightly flushed 

 shell pink; spotted and penciled crimson. 

 Unlike most Dahlias of this class, it is a 

 strong vigorous grower and outblooms even 

 the grand old favorite pink — A. D. Livoni. 

 The flowers vary sometimes on the same 

 plant, some being spotted and penciled more 

 heavily than others — always variegated. It 

 is the finest fancy Dahlia in existence and 

 should be in every collection. Price, strong 



roots, by mail, postpaid, 40 cents each. JACK ROSE, 



VIRGINIA MAULE (Decorative)— A magnificent new Dahlia that is as exquisitelv delicate as Jack Rose is 

 rich and striking. The flowers are very large and borne on erect stems, and of an exquisitely delicate shell pink 

 Its exquisite form is shown in the illustration. 



The plant is a very strong vigorous grower, an early and continuous bloomer. Price, strong field grown roots 

 by mail, postpaid. 40 cents each. 



PRINCESS VICTORIA (Show)— A new Dahlia and the only pure canary yellow show Dahlia without shade or 

 blemish from bud to old age. It is an extremely early and profuse bloomer, of full round form, and absolutely 

 full to the center. The flowers are borne on long stems, and the plants are a continual mass of color. Stuck 

 is very limited, strong roots, by mail, postpaid, $1.25.
