6 HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA 
NEW AMERICAN DAHLIAS 
OF OUR OWN INTRODUCTION 
We take pleasure in stating that this collection of eight 
new American Dahlias which we first offered in a limited 
_way last year, after another season’s trial, has proven to 
be even better than we promised. 
The collection consists of a selection made out of some 
sixty new varieties; sorts which were submitted to us for 
trial by different raisers of seedlings and of which we ac- 
quired the entire stocks. They have proven valuable 
additions in their respective types and colors, and all 
were greatly admired in our fields, trial grounds and 
exhibits during the past season. 
All are exceptionally free-flowering. The masses 
of flowers which they produce and their desirable 
habit of growth make them most valuable for garden 
decoration, and at the same time each one will be 
found desirable for cutting purposes. 
\ New American 
Decorative Dahlia Easton 
Not an extra large 
flower, but a variety 
which, on account of its 
brilliant color, good form 
and remarkable free-flow- 
ering habit, is certain to 
become a standard, both as 
a cut flower as well as for 
garden decoration; in color 
it is a brilliant Turkish or 
Oriental red. 35 cts. each; pe Pig ; ; :

New American 
Decorative Dahlia 
Eventide 
A splendid flower of per- 
fect form, on long, stiff 
stems, which for all pur- 
poses may be termed a white 
Dahlia, there being but the 
faintest flush of delicate rose 
on the edge of the flower, which seems to intensify 
its pureness. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz. 
New American Cactus Dahlia 
\ General J. B. Seth 
A rich, gorgeous Dahlia of a brilliant scarlet, with 
orange-scarlet shadings, of perfect form, held well above 
the foliage on stiff stems; this variety has been a glow 
of color until the end of the season. 40 cts. each; $5.00 
per doz,
