 Dahlias of 1903. 



Of Special Value to Florists. 



We distributed quite a number of this set 



last spring, and many customers have been 



quite profuse in their favorable criticism, espe- 

 cially of the variety Kriemhilde, which pleases 



everyone. It is unquestionably the finest pink 



Dahlia for cutting yet sent out. Unlike many 



other sorts it is a free grower, a profuse 



bloomer and carries its beautiful flowers on 



good long strong stems.

 ranged long petals. Roots, 25 cts. each ; 

 ^2.50 per doz. 



Kriemhilde. -\n exquisite delicate shell- 

 pink, shading to white in the centre ; un- 

 doubtedly the finest and most perfect pink 

 Cactus Dahlia to date, and as a cut flower 

 likely to supersede all the other pink sorts.

 doz.; §25.00 per 100. Plants ready in 

 April. 15 cts. each ; Sl-SO per doz.;

DAHLIAS. 



It is a great pleasure to us to note the remarkable inter- 

 est in Dahlias during the past few years, and the many 

 letters received from customers expressing their satisfac- 

 tion and delight at the wonderful improvements which 

 have been shown in the various ' ' Sets ' ' as sent out by us 

 prove to us that our efforts to present not the longest list 

 of varieties but only the best of each respective type has 

 been appreciated. We spare neither time nor expense in 

 testing the new varieties of both domestic and foreign 

 production, and feel justified in claiming that our collec- 

 tion is uiie(|ualled, all having been selected for their free 

 and continuous-flowering qualities, purity of color, per- 

 fection of form, general excellence and adaptability to the 

 most ordinary garden culture.
