 ing it a light and graceful formation. In color it is

 orative varietv yet introduced, but we are tempted 

 to sav the best a"ll-round Dahlia for any purpose yet 

 introduced. It has been one of the outstanding fea- 

 tures of the shows for the past four seasons, where 

 it has been awarded manv medals, certificates and 

 prizes. The beautiful, large, pink fiowers are of 

 perfect form, supported on long, stiff, straight stems.

 in a well-formed, large flower, composed of long, nar- 

 row petals, which roll backwards, giving it light, 

 graceful formation. Color, orange-scarlet at the

 the not fully developed flowers the golden base of 

 the petals intensifies the rich coloring. $7.50 per 

 doz.; $60.00 per 100.

 narrow, regularly-arranged petals, forming a very 

 full, deep flower of a rich, Oriental-red, suffused

 bination of glowing salmon-pink, red, iridescent 

 orange, yellow and gold, all blending most harmo- 

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



Jnnior. An immense big flower which makes it par- 

 ticularly useful as an exhibition flower and its free- 

 dom of bloom, neat habit of growth, make it equally 

 valuable for garden decoration. The large blooms

 and are of a delightful soft, delicate shade of lav- 

 ender-pink. $15.00 per doz.; $100.00 per 100.
