DAHLIAS 



NOVELTY DAHLIAS 



Under this head I am offering the very best 



Dahlias, many of them new, and all scarce. 



You can take the blue ribbon prizes anywhere 



with these Dahlias; none better. 



Price, unless otherwise noted, 20c each; 3 



for 55c; 6 for $1.00; the entire 20 for $3.20. 



ALFRED MORGAN (Cactus). Rich, deep pur- 

 plish-crimson; extra fine. 



CUBAN GIANT (Show). Dark crimson of gi- 

 gantic size. 



COUNTESS OF LONSDALE (Cactus). On sev- 

 eral plants I counted over 150 perfect blooms 

 at one time on one plant. Is there any other 

 garden flower that can equal it? The color 

 is a rich salmon-red, tinted apricot. 



CATHERINE DUER (Decorative). A glowing 

 red, one of the richest and brightest of all 

 Dahlias. 



DELICE (Decorative). Its beautiful soft rose 

 color, with its perfect shape, stout stiff stems 

 and good keeping qualities when cut, make 

 this one of the most desirable. 



FLORADORA (Cactus). Wine-crimsca, splen- 

 did shaped flowers on long wiry stems. 



FRANK SMITH (Fancy). An old favorite; 

 dark maroon, tipped with white, shading 

 into pink. 



GOLDEN AGE (Show). Deep sulphur-yellow 

 of grand size; most effective and striking. 



JACK ROSE (Decorative). Brilliant crimson 

 red. one of the most popular of recent in- 



^ troduction. 



KRIEMHILDE (Cactus). Bright pink, shad- 

 ing to white in center, very popular as a 

 cut flower. 



J. H. JACKSON (Cactus). The finest dark Cac- 

 tus Dahlia; long, narrow, crimson-maroon 

 florets. 



MADAM VAN DAN DAEL (Decorative). Glis- 

 tening white, delicately flushed with pink. 

 A flower of great elegance. 



MRS. WINSTANLEY (Cactus). Deep rich 

 scarlet with bright yellow center; must be 

 seen to be appreciated. 



MRS. LINDER (Decorative). White suffused 

 with pink. 



MRS. WINTERS (Decorative). Many consider 

 this the very best white variety. 



QUEEN EMMA (Paeony-Flowered). A new 

 mallow pink, the inner petals banded with 

 gold. 



SOUV. DE GUSTAVE DOAZON (Decorative). 

 The largest Dahlia up to date. Can you 

 Imagine a Dahlia 9i^ inches across? Simply 

 a monster; still it is not coarse. These im- 

 mense flowers are borne in profusion from 

 the earliest moment of blooming tmtil the 

 very last; color a rich orange-red. 



STORM KING (Show). This Dahlia is hard to 

 beat; it often goes under the name of Bliz- 

 zard from the fact that when in full bloom 

 it resembles a bank of snow; pure white. 



STANDARD BEARER (Cactus). A grand flow-* 

 er of brightest scarlet. If there is a red 

 Dahlia that produces more beautiful flowers 

 than this one I would like to see it trotted 

 out. 



WINSOME (Cactus). This charming variety 

 pure creamy-white. Every one wants it.
