New Giant Fancy Decorative Dahlia 



LE GRAND MANITOU. 



This is without doubt the best variegated Dahlia of the "Decorative" type. 

 The flowers are from 5 to 6 inches across. The ground color is white, prettily 

 marbled, veined, striped and blotched with reddish-violet in beautiful and inde- 

 scribable variegation. Occasionally this variety runs a solid color, as is the case 

 with most variegated Dahlias, when it is a most beautiful shade of 

 reddish-violet. It blooms profusely, has long stems and so is spe- 

 cially valuable for cutting. (See cut.) 



Price, field grown roots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz.

This very interesting type adds zest to the wide spread interest in this 

 useful flower. The flowers of this type are very large, averaging eight inches 

 across when well grown. The petals are broad and ribbon-like, the center 

 shows, adding an artistic charm, closely resembling the semi-double Paeonies 

 in appearance. They bloom profusely, have long stems and so are 

 specially fitted for cut flowers decoration in addition to their value for 

 garden use. 



Germania. One of the best Dahlias of the "Peony Flowered" type. The 

 color is an extremely soft rich strawberry red. The flower is large and 

 graceful with full, loose petals. The great abundance of large, magnifi- 

 cent blossoms makes this one of the most showy and desirable Dahlias. 

 Price, 35c. each, S3. 50 per doz.

 shadings. Very large and gracefully disposed flowers

 a great acquisition. It is deep rose-pink edged with white, very attractive.

 splendid for cut flowers. The habit of the plant is free and branching, 

 with its wealth of flowers this variety stands out amongst hundreds.

 stems, well above the plant, rendering it extremely graceful and decor- 

 ative and of the best for cutting."

 but it is really one of the Paeony flowered type. Color a beautiful deep 

 rose pink, clear and effective. Very broad petals.
