Good Varieties 



are 



DAHLIA [tP] For specimen plants and for rich autumn display 

 these flowers can not be surpassed. The blossoms are wonder- 

 fully perfect and symmetrical with long stems, making them 

 especially valuable for bouquets. While usually grown from 

 tubers, robust plants and excellent blooms may be produced the 

 first year from seed started early in boxes and planted out after 

 danger of frost is past.

 of England's many good dwarf dahlias for growing in this 

 country. Plants compact and well rounded. The semi-double 

 flowers are plentiful and delightfully colored. Unusually pretty 

 and adaptable to any garden Pkt. 15c

DIANTHUS (Pinks) The time-honored garden pinks with their 

 single or double carnation-like flowers make excellent border 

 plants for modern gardens. Gay blossoms on strong stems come 

 in a variety of rich colors, and their stripes and markings make 

 them especially attractive. They are of easy culture and quite 

 suitable for cutting.

 William, but the blossoms are larger y% oz. 40c; pkt. 5c

DIDISCUS (Blue Lace Flower) [hA-2^ ft.] The clusters of 

 slender flower tubes on this dainty plant are heavenly blue in 

 color and spread out like miniature lace parasols. Florists 

 even-where appreciate its grace and beauty as a cut flower. In 

 home gardens it does best in cool locations. It does not grow 

 well in hot dry weather. Each plant needs a foot of space. 



Coeruleus Blue M oz. 50c; pkt. 10c 



DIMORPHOTHECA (African Daisy) [hA-12 in.] This annual can 

 well be used to furnish a late splash of color in the rock 

 garden and in low beds and borders. The spreading plants are 

 covered with a wealth of large daisy-like blossoms which expand 

 in full sun but close toward nightfall. Dark centers, common 

 to all varieties, enhance their beauty. African Daisy is a 

 splendid winter flower in California and the Southern States if 

 sown in late fall.
