DAHLIAS. 



It is a great pleasure to us to note the remarkable inter- 

 est in Dahlias during the past few years, and the many 

 letters received from customers expressing their satisfac- 

 tion and delight at the wonderful improvements which 

 have been shown in the various " Sets" assent out by us 

 prove to us that our efforts to present not the longest list 

 of varieties but only the best of each respective type has 

 been appreciated. We spare neither time nor expense in 

 testing the new varieties of both domestic and foreign 

 production, and feel justified in claiming that our collec- 

 tion is unequalled, all having been selected for their free 

 ard continuous-flowering qualities, purity of color, per- 

 fection of form, general excellence and adaptability to the 

 most ordinary garden culture. 



Fifteen Ne^iv Cactus Dahlias for 

 1904. 



The varieties comprising this set were selected out of a 

 lot of over one hundred recent introductions which were 

 tested by us last summer, and represent the highest devel- 

 opment in Cactus Dahlias to date. 

 Aunt Cllloe. Rich maroon, the darkest variety in the 



collection. 

 Gabriel. An improved Arachne, having the same pecu- 

 liar forms and variations as that interesting sort, but 

 with flowers twice as large ; the petals are creamy-white 

 edged with crimson, although it is hardly possible to 

 find two flowers exactly alike on the same plant. 

 rirs. J. J. Crowe. Lemon-yellow; long petals. 20 cts. 



each ; ^2.00 per doz. 

 Mrs. Jowett. Brilliant orange-red ; fine. 

 rirs. J. P. Clark. A peculiar shade of orange-bronze, each 



petal tipped with blush ; an odd combination of color. 

 Pretoria. Vermilion intensified by orange shadings ; dazzling. 

 Rosenhagen. A pleasing shade of salmon-rose, deepening 

 to bright magenta on the edges. 20 cts. each ; $2.00 per doz. 

 Rosine. Glowing crimson with purplish shadings. 

 Winsome. The best white yet introduced ; clear in color 

 and of perfect shape. 75 cts. each ; $7.50 per doz. 



30 cts. each ; ^3.00 per doz., 



Three Superb Ne\ir Cactus 

 Dahlias of 1903. 



Of Special Value to Florists. 



We distributed quite a number of this set 

 last spring, and many customers have been 

 quite profuse in their favorable criticism, espe- 

 cially of the variety Kriemhilde, which pleases 

 everyone. It is unquestionably the finest pink 

 Dahlia for cutting yet sent out. Unlike many 

 other sorts it is a free grower, a profuse 

 bloomer and carries its beautiful flowers on 

 good long strong stems. 



Brunhilde. Rich plum color, loosely ar- 

 ranged long petals. Roots, 25 cts. each ; 

 S2.50 per doz. 



Kriemhilde. An exquisite delicate shell- 

 pink, shading to white in the centre ; un- 

 doubtedly the finest and most perfect pink 

 Cactus Dahlia to date, and as a cut flower 

 likely to supersede all the other pink sorts. 

 {See cut.) Roots, 30 cts. each ; ^3.50 per 

 doz.; $25. 00 per 100. Plants ready in 

 April. 15 cts. each ; ^1.50 per doz.; 

 $10.00 per 100. 



Volker. A charming free-flowering pure 

 yellow. Roots, 25 cts. each ; $2.50 per doz. 

 One root each of the 3 varieties for 75 cts
