New French Collerette Dahlias. 
An entirely new type of single Dahlias, which has produced a 
great sensation during the past two years wherever shown and 
which has been awarded highest honors. The peculiarity of 
| the type lies in their having a row of short petals around the disc 
| which form a frill or collar, and which are of an entirely differ- 
ent color from the rest of the flower. (The arrangement is well 
shown in the illustration.) —- i 
We have flowered a number of. varieties in our trial grounds 
the past season, of which we offer two of the most distinct. We 
were charmed with them and feel positive that our customers 
| will be well pleased with both varieties. 
Is the larger flowering of the two varieties, 
with Io to 12 petals, which are of a deep red, with orange-red 
shadings, and light canary-yellow collar. 
President Viger. The most beautiful of the two varieties, 
rich deep blood-red, shading darker towards the base of the

carmine.

dozen ; $25.00 per 100.
