HENRY A. DREER Dreer's Select Dahlias WHOLESALE LIST 



Six Popular Dahlias 



Jersey's Beauty 



Though every year brings us new and out- 

 standing Dahlias there can be no doubt that 

 some of the older kinds have not been excelled. 

 These six have proved most dependable in 

 various sections of the country. They have the 

 stamina and quality that make them favorites 

 with the public. All six varieties listed here 

 represent free-flowering vigorous kinds with 

 healthy constitutions. Their colors are distinct 

 and desirable and they are offered at very 

 nominal prices. They are leaders in the New 

 York and Philadelphia cutflower markets. 

 Gallant Pox. This New Jersey Dahlia Is of 

 outstanding merit. A perfect Formal Deco- 

 rative in form with six-inch flowers of a 

 most entrancing luminous dark red color 

 which is described by some as claret, but 

 defies definite description. The New York 

 and Philadelphia markets absorb the cut- 

 flowers as fast as they can be produced. 

 Jane Cowl. One of the most popular both in 

 the garden and on the exhibition table. An 

 immense Informal Decorative of very vig- 

 orous habit. The blooms combine l"Dvely 

 shades of bronzy buff and old gold. 

 Jersey's Beauty. Probably the most popular 

 and most satisfactory Dahlia in commerce 

 today. A perfect Formal Decorative of a 

 beautiful pink color. 

 Myrtle Fisher. This slightly Informal Deco- 

 rative yellow Dahlia is one of the most re- 

 liable for cutflower purposes that goes into 

 the Philadelphia market. The full double 

 flowers are about six inches in diameter and 

 produced freely on sturdy healthy plants. 

 Eoycroft. A Semi-Cactus of perfect form pro- 

 ducing six to seven inch flowers in great 

 profusion. Of a deep orange terra cotta color 

 suffused with rose. 

 Snowboy. Wliite Formal Decorative with per- 

 fect deep flowers, five to six inches In 

 diameter. 



TVe offer these in strong tubers only: 

 $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



New Dwarf Dahlias 

 for Forcing and the Garden 



This new race of which the variety "Easter Greeting", Intro- 

 duced last year, is the forerunner, promises to create quite a 

 sensation. 



Last season we potted up a quantity of root divisions of the 

 different varieties in January and they were in bloom in March 

 in 6-inch pots in such attractive condition that they would have 

 sold in quantities if available. 



Aside from their usefulness to the greenhouse man in this 

 way they have demonstrated their adaptability for garden orna- 

 mentation this summer. 



Compact plants not over two feet high and just as wide are 

 covered with flowers from early summer until frost. 



If dug in the fall and divided in the usual manner each di- 

 vision will make a fine six-inch pot plant if potted in midwinter 

 and grown on in a moderate temperature. 



Gertmde. Clean sulphur yellow. Good 

 size. Very compact. 



Elsie 



Christine. Dainty pure white flowers 

 of small size. Blooms profusely.

 what larger and of better torm

Elsie. Deep golden yellow at center, 

 passing to rich orange-carmine

 orous. „ , ,
