PETER HENDERSON A^ CO., NEW YORK 



FIELD=QROWN DAHLIA ROOTS 



We send out only strong fielJ-grou'n roots, having 

 abandoned the sale of grooving plants of Dahlias. We 

 decided to do this, as the growing plants do not travel 

 well, and are liable to injury in transit, while the roots 

 can be sent with safety around the world; besides, the 

 roots will give a larger and finer crop of flowers. 



These are offered to be sent by express at purchaser's 

 expense. If by mail, small or divided roots. 



White "Cactus" Dahlia, Winsome. 



Undoubtedly the finest pure white Cactus Dahlia to 

 date. The flowers are large, of beautiful Cactus form, 

 with twisted incurved petals giving great depth to the 

 flower; besides the plant is a very strong, heavy, vigor- 

 ous grower, of branching habit, producing the flowers 

 in great quantities on long,- stiff, erect stems, holding 

 the flower face upward. (See cut.) Price, 35c. each, 

 S3. 50 per doz. 



Pink "Cactus" Dahlia. Kriemhilde. 



The color is an exquisite shade of delicate shell-pink. 

 The broad center petals are white, forming a beautiful 

 rosette of that color above the pink. It is a profuse 

 bloomer, of strong upright habit. A grand variet}^ for 

 cut flowers. {See cut.) Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz.
