New Pa?ony-flowered Dahlias. 



This new type of Dahlias originated in Holland, and promises to be- 

 come very popular. The artistic flowers are very large, from 6 to 8 

 inches across, and are best compared to the semi-double Paeonies in 

 general form. They all flower very freely, and are borne on long, 

 strong stems, making excellent material for cutting, as well as for gar- 

 den decoration. 

 Germania. Brilliant strawberry red, a very fluffy,' artistic flower, 



standing well above the foliage, producing a very gay effect. 25 cts. 



each ; $2.50 per doz. 

 Glory of Baarn. Very large, loosely-arranged flower of soft hortensia- 



rose color. 35 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. 

 Queen Emma. A magnificent sort that appears almost artificial ; it 



is of a charming shade of mallow or Hollyhock pink, the inner petals 



banded with gold. 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 

 Queen Wilhelmina. Immense, fluffy flower of pure white with yel- 

 low centre. 35 cts. each ; $3.50 per doz. 



The set of 4 varieties for $1.00. 



New Century Single Dahlias. 



These magnificent single varieties all originated from the celebrated 



Twentieth Century offered in this set. They are all of free branching 



habit, flowering early, profusely and continuously throughout the 



season, flowers from 4% to 6 inches across on stems 3 feet long, and 



when cut keep in good condition for many days.

 around the disc. As the season advances the flowers become lighter,

 gated but blended in the most beautiful manner. 15 cts. each; $1.25 

 per doz.; $10.00 per 100.
