WHOLESALE LIST 



DREER'S DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 



All varieties under this heading will be supplied in dormant roots. 



Bueno. A large, deep, well-built, beautiful flower, 

 very original in coloring', a burnished copper, shad- 

 ing to bright yellow at the centre with th€ entire 

 flower slightly suffused with rose; a tall grower that 

 produces its flowers freely from early until late in 

 the season on good stems; a splendid keeper, fine 

 for exhibition and as a cut flower. §7.50 per doz. ;

Carmencita. A fancy variety of large size, of unusual 

 graceful formation of a bright vellow, striped with 

 red. $7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



Chanipag-ne. Aside from being one of the largest 

 Dahlias this wonderful variety has not only size to 

 commend it but is a model for shape, habit of 

 growth, and above all, its remarkable and distinct 

 color, very aptly described by its introducer as 

 golden champagne with chamoise shadings, which 

 color combination no doubt suggested its appro- 

 priate name. §7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



Charm. A greatly admired autumn shade of burnt 

 orange shading to yellow, flowers large of splendid 

 form. ?7.50 per doz.; $60.00 per 100. 



Clifford E. White. This variety, in form, habit, size 

 and freedom reminds one of the popular variety. 

 Judge Marean, and like it, its colors vary as the 

 flowers pass through different stages of develop- 

 ment; having a combination of glowing salmon- 

 pink, brilliant red, iridescent orange, and gold, all 

 blending most harmoniously but all more intense 

 and brilliant than in its prototype. $5.00 per doz.j 

 $40.00 per 100. 



Couronne d'Or (Golden Crown). Rich golden apricot, 

 reverse of petals rosy carmine which reflects in a 

 luminous manner to the face of the flower. $10.00 

 per doz.; $75.00 per 100. 



Dakota. One of Judge Marean's introductions, pro- 

 ducing very large exhibition flowers of good form; 

 color a deep tone of rich coral red with coppery 

 suffusion. $2.50 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
