Roses— Continued 



Uhiic Ikirothy. ExquUite'.y beautiful, vig- 

 orous novelty. This Rose has all the merits of the 

 famous pink Dorothy Perkins, of which it is an 

 offspring. The flowers are remarkably pure 

 white and are borne in clusters completely cover- 

 ii^ the plant and contrasting most beautifully 

 with the brilliant green foliage. White Dorothy 

 grows to perfection in heavy soil and frequently 

 reaches a height of 30 feet in a single season. It 

 is hardy everywhere without protection. Price, 

 mailing size. 15 cts.; strong 2-year plants, 40 cts. 



Lwiy Gay. Flowers delicate cerise-pink, 

 pa.'ising to soft white. The effect of the com- 

 bination of soft white flowers, pink buds and 

 green foliage is indeed charming. Price, 10 

 cts.: from 3-inch pots, 15 cts.; 2-year plants, 

 30 cts.

 10 inches apart; train to single stem and stake.

Varieties of Special Merit.

The Dahlia is the people's flower. It makes a 

 more gorgeous, dazzling display than any other 

 outdoor-grown flower. Immense bloom can be 

 had from our improved varieties, which in size, 

 beauty and style rival the finest house-grown, 

 single-stem chrysanthemums. We have a mag- 

 nificent collection of the best sorts grown. 



The Dahlia is of the easiest possible culture. 

 Plant in good soil in the full sunlight, and keep 

 the ground well worked or mulched, and you 

 will be repaid by showers of bloom. When the 

 frost kills the tops, lift the roots and place in 

 any cellar where they will not freeze. I offer 

 strong, pot-grown plants that will bloom early 

 and continuously, and be far more satisfactory 

 than roots, which I do not sell.
