PAEONY^FLOWERED DAHLIAS. 



This very interesting type will be welcomed by Dahlia 

 lovers and will add 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. 



GLORY OF BAARN. A very peculiar shade of light rose, 

 softened with pinkish shadings. Very large and gracefully 

 disposed flowers. 



PRINCESS VICTORIA LOUISE. This is sometimes passed 

 as a " Decorative," but it is really one of the Paeony 

 flowered type. Color a beautiful deep rose pink, clear and 

 effective. Very broad petals and splendidly formed flowers. 



QUEEN EMMA. The most striking of the group. A 

 unique shade of marshmallow pink, the inner petals banded 

 with golden yellow. A very unusual combination. 



QUEEN WILHELMINA. A pure white variety and in 

 this the golden yellow center shows to unusual and distinct 

 advantage. A splendid contract to the other sorts. Price, 

 30c. each; set of 4 sorts for $1.00. 



SUPERB DECORATIVE DAHLIA, "SYLVIA." 



A very valuable decorative Dahlia. Flowers from 4 to 6 

 inches in diameter, of fine form, white shading to soft pink 

 on the outer petals. Splendid substance, giving it an un- 

 surpassed keeping quality. An early and profuse bloomer. 

 (See cut.) Price, field grown roots, 25c. each, $2.50 per doz.
