"TOM THUMB" 



NEW SINGLE DAHLIAS. 



It is seldom that such a decided break occurs in a race 

 of plants as in the Dalilia, an entirelj' new class of which 

 is now offered in the " TOM THUMB " varieties illus- 

 trated above. They will become most popular bedding 

 plants; their dwarf habit and profusion of bloom, with 

 brilliant colors, making them unrivaled for that purpose. 

 "We are indebted to Mr. T. W. Girdlestone, the secretary 

 of the National Dahlia Society of England, for this new 

 race, and we control the stock in the United States. 

 Below we give the names and short descriptions of the 

 varieties we offer. The natural height is only from 12 to 

 15 inches, and about 24 inches across the plant, forming 

 a compact little bush.

Double Crimson Daisy. 



This variety is always scarce, owing to 

 the fact that it can only be increased by 

 root division and not by seed. It blooms 

 in the early spring, continuing in flower 

 all summer, growing only 4 to 6 inches irt 

 height. Its masses of rich, scarlet cjLm- 

 son blossoms make a ■v-ivid and charming 

 contrast to the deep green of the foliage.
