THE BEST NEW 



YELLOW DAHLIA 



Field Marshal (Hybrid Cactus). 



A first class yellow Cactus Dablia has 

 long been a desiderata and we believe 

 we have found it in Field Marshal which 

 we are now offering for the first time, 

 in fact we have no hesitancy in pro- 

 nouncing it the best yellow Dahlia in 

 existence to-day of any type whether 

 considered as a cut flower or for garden 

 decoration. 



In our trials it has proven itself one 

 of the earliest, freest and most continu- 

 ous bloomers, the flowers are of good 

 Size, under ordinary cultivation without 

 disbudding they will average fully 

 seven inches in diameter and are held 

 erect on stiff, wiry stems with good 

 necks so that each flower shows its full 

 profile to best advantage. In form it is 

 a hybrid cactus with gracefully arranged 

 petals of medium breadth and of great 

 substance, in color a rich primrose yel- 

 low with a slight suffusion of rose on 

 the reverse of the petals, there being 

 just sufficient of this suffusion to in- 

 tensify the yellow, it is one of the very 

 few yellow Dahlias that shows its color 

 under artificial light, the great majority of yellows appear- 

 ing white under night light. 



We feel enthusiastic in recommending Field Marshal as 

 the ideal Dahlia of its color and we are supported in this 

 by every visitor who saw it flowering in our grounds dur- 

 ing the past summer. 



We offer Field Marshal only in green plants, which will 

 be ready to send out about May 15th, at tl.50 each. 



Delice (Decorative). 



Its beautiful soft, yet lively color, a glowing rose-pink, together 

 with its'perfect shape, stout, stiff stems, which hold the flowers 

 well above the foliage, and the fact that when cut it retains its 

 freshness for a long time, makes this one of the most valuable for 

 cutting or decorative sorts in the garden. 



15 cts. each; tl.50 per doz.; 112.00 per 100. 



Dorothy Peacock (Show). 



One of the best extra early flowering cut flower varieties, very 

 free flowering, and continuing good to the end of the season. The 

 flowers are large, of perfect shape, of a bright sea-shell pink color 

 that is very effective. 



20 cts. each; 12.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100. 



Dreer's White (Show). 



Introduced by us in 1909, it still remains at the head of the 

 list of all white show varieties; it is of purest color, a live 

 glistening white, closely resembling in form the variety Grand 

 Duke Alexis, while in freedom of flowering it is not surpassed 

 by any. It has succeeded in all parts of the country, has been 

 greatly admired at the exhibitions where shown, and has in most 

 cases been awarded the premier prizes as the finest white show 

 variety. 



2S cts. each; $2.50 per doz.; $18.00 per 100.
