 petals. 



Arachne. This name means "spider," and is appropriately 

 applied to this variety, the flowers being much twisted and

 there rarely being two flowers alike.

 perfect form.

Collerette Dahlia President 

 Viger. 



An entirely distinct type, which must be seen to be ap- 

 preciated. The peculiarity consists in the flower having 

 a row of short petals around the disc, which form a frill or 

 collar, and which are of an entirely different color from 

 the rest of the flower. The large petals are of a rich claret 

 color, shading lighter toward the edges, while the short petals, 

 frill or collar are pure white, occasionally suffused with rose ; a 

 striking contrast. 15 cts. each ; $1-5° per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
