i 



COLLARETTE" DAHLIAS 



This rare and striking type is distinguished by the peculiar devel- 

 opment of the stamens at the base of the main petals, becoming in 

 fact secondary petals in appearance. They are entirely distinct 

 from the rest of the flower in form and color and form a frill or 

 collar around the center. These new varieties are semi-double and 

 are even more unique than the original. 



Exposition de Lyon. Rich crimson with creamy yellow " collarette," 

 the latter showing under the upper petals, thus forming a double 

 row. Many flowers show 18 petals. 



La Fusee. Deep claret -crimson with white "collarette," large yel- 

 low center; semi-double, foliage finely cut. 



Orphee. Deep, rich cerise with yellow at the base of the petals. 

 Creamy white collarette with large yellow center. Flowers well 

 formed and freely produced. Price for the above, 30c. each, 

 $3.00 per doz.; set of 3 for 75c. (Field-grown roots.)

The Great New Giant M00NFL0WER 



Ipomea Maxima 



A Giant in Growth and Flowers and Exquisitely Fragrant. 



The flowers are more than twice the size of the 

 old variety, selected flowers reaching 1\ inches, 

 and are produced in such wonderful profusion 

 that they completely cover the vine with a veil 

 of glistening white. On moonlight nights and 

 cloudy days the effect is charming in the ex- 

 treme. It forms a perfect screen of rich green 

 foliage and there is nothing to equal it for 

 porches. Add to these qualities its delightful 

 sweet Magnolia fragrance and prosaic fact or 

 poetic fancy could not ask for more. (See cut.) Price, $1.25 per doz., 

 $8.00 per 100.
