BODDINGTON'S QUALITY DAHLIAS 



The Grand New Decorative Dahlia 



JACK ROSE 



This ui>ique variety was raised by Mr. Peacock, tlie dahlia hybridizer and 

 expert. It is rightly named Jack Rose, as the color is identical — a beautiful 

 dark crimson — with the bloom of a rose; the flowers are not large, but borne 

 in great profusion upon stiff, erect stems. Blooms brought to our office, after be- 

 ing carried around for three days, were e.xhil)ited at the IMorris County Garden- 

 ers' and Florists' Society's Chrysanthemum E.xhibition, and awarded a cer- 

 tificate of merit, thus displaying its great keejjing qualities as a cut-flower. 

 Price, green plants April 1 delivery, 75 cts. each, $7.50 per doz., $60 per 100. 



Decorative Dahlias 



The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and com- 

 prises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in commerce. The very best of 

 each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superiority 

 in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of form, continuous flowering 

 qualities and general e.xcellence. 



No ' K. — Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, 

 divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain varieties ex- 

 hausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which 

 give equally good results.
