HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA 



New American Dahlias 



of our own introduction 



We take pleasure in presenting on th 

 the following page the Eight Splend: 

 American Sorts, which are now offered 

 first time. We acquired the entire s 

 these from the raisers, after giving 

 thorough test in our own trial grounds, 

 were selected out of some sixty new v 

 which were submitted to us by differen 

 ers of new sorts, and we unhesitatingly 

 mend them as valuable additions and 

 they will quickly become firm favori 

 all collections of fine Dahlias. All o 

 are very free flowering, the masses of 

 which they produce making them vain 

 able for garden decoration, and at th 

 same time each one will prove desirabl 

 for cutting purposes. 



These new varieties can only 

 be furnished in green plants, 

 ready for deliverv after April 

 'l5th. 



"Diamond Anni- 

 versary" 

 Cactus Dahlias

 teresting collection, 

 all extra fine and de- 

 c i d e d 1 y different 

 from the usual run of 

 Cactus sorts. Offered

New 



Decorative Dahlia 

 Easton 



Not an extra large 

 flower, but a variety 

 which, on account of 

 its brilliant color, good 

 form and remarkable 

 free-flowering habit, is 

 certain to become a 

 standard, both as a cut 

 flower as w^ell as for 

 garden decoration; in 

 color it is a brilliant Turkish or Oriental 

 red. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 



New Decorative Dahlia Eventide 



A splendid flower of perfect form, on long, 

 stiff stems, which for all purposes may be 

 termed a white Dahlia, there being but the 

 faintest flush of delicate rose on the edge of 

 the flower, which seems to intensify its pure- 

 ness. 50 cts. each; $5.00 per dozen. 



New Cactus Dahlia General J. B. Seth 



A rich, gorgeous Dahlia of a brilliant scar- 

 let, with orange-scarlet shadings, of perfect 

 form, held well above the foliage on stiff 

 stems; this variety has been a glow of color 

 until the first week in November. 50 cts. each; 

 $5.00 per dozen.
