No. 1. New Decorative Dahlia Joppa 



A new Dahlia of unusual merit. The color is dark salmon rose blended 

 with apricot and gold. It is a variety which responds to good culture, 

 and when disbudded flowers measuring 8 to 10 inches in diameter may 

 be had. The plant is vigorous, and the large flowers are held erect on the 

 strong stiff stems. Price, field-grown roots, $1.30 each, SIS. 00 per doz. 



No. 2. New Cactus Dahlia Hollywood 



Modern Dahlia culture has developed many superb varieties, but none 

 better than Hollywood. It is a beautiful salmon pink of the true quilled 

 Cactus type. Flowers of immense size, measuring on well-grown plants 

 6 to 8 inches across. Hollywood produces its perfect modeled flowers in 

 great profusion and in continuous succession throughout the entire season. 

 As a cut-flower variety, Hollywood has no peer. No other Dahlia has 

 better lasting qualities after it is cut, or is more artistic or graceful when 

 arranged in bouquets or baskets. Price, field-grown roots, $1.50 each, 

 $15.00 doz. 



No. 3. New Decorative Dahlia Meiritt 



Among the many new Dahlias introduced there are none in our opin- 

 ion which is likely to have a wider popularity than this. It resembles 

 the Patrick O'Mara in shape and style of growth, producing large flowers 

 which last well when cut. The color is bright lemon yellow. Whether 

 considered from the standpoint of the commercial grower or from the 

 viewpoint of the Dahlia fancier it is without a superior. Price, field- 

 grown roots, $1.30 each, $13.00 per doz. 



No. 4. New Hybrid Cactus Dahlia Patapsco 



This variety is destined to take a leading place in every Dahlia garden.

 twisted petals. The color is bright velvety maroon on the front with a
