Dreer's Dahlias for Cutting 



Six Special Cactus Dahlias for Cutting 



Candeur. A wonderful pure white, which in the fully developed flower more 

 closely resembles an incurved Chrysanthemum than any other sort. 

 Field roots, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. ; $12.00 per 100. 



Galathea. A medium-sized flower appreciated for its delicate color, which is an 

 even, tender soft pink. 

 Field roots, 15 cts. each ; $1.50 per doz. ; $10.00 per 100. 



Marguerite Bouchon. The most beautiful Cactus Dahlia yet introduced. It is of 

 absolutely perfect form ■ color a magnificent shade of brilliant, yet soft rose, with 

 very large white centre and distinctly defined white tips. 

 Plants ready in April, 35 cts. each ; $3 50 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100. 



Rheinischer Frohsinn. One of the most distinct and refined varieties of recent 

 introduction. The long incurving petals are white at the base, but at about one- 

 half their length they become suffused with and change to a luminous carmine-rose, 

 the two colors combining harmoniously in forming a most attractive flower. 

 Field roots, 35 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100. 



Thais. The rather broad petals, which are loosely arranged, make up an informally 

 shaped flower, which, on account of its color, a pure white with a soft mauve suffu- 

 sion which is deposited over the snowy petals like a dew, makes it one of the most 

 delicately colored sorts which we have yet offered. 

 Field roots, 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. ; $15.00 per 100. 



Wacht am Rhein. The most delicate and tender combination of a soft but lively 

 rose-pink with white suffusion that we have yet seen, while the flower is one of the 

 most graceful and perfect cactus forms, it is good size with splendid stems for 

 cutting. An introduction of Messrs. Goos and Koeneman, to whom we are 

 indebted for many of our best varieties. We consider this the best cactus intro- 

 duced this season. 

 Plants ready in April, $1.00 each ; $10.00 per doz. ; $75.00 per 100. 



Paeony Flowered Dahlias 



Geisha. A rich and effective combination of scarlet and gold in a large Paeony-like 

 flower, composed of peculiarly curled and twisted petals of the most informal 

 shape, the flowers frequently being over 8 inches in diameter ; a distinct and novel 

 variety that everybody likes. 

 Eoots, 35 els. each ; $3.50 per doz. ; $25.00 per 100. 



Mondscheibe. The ideal yellow Paeony-flowered variety, the deepest yellow of 

 this type to date, remarkably free flowering and held firmly on stiff stems, the 

 flowers are large and of most desirable form, a splendid cut flower which attracted 

 much attention in our fields during the past summer. 

 Plants ready in April, 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz. ; $60.00 per 100.
