Grand Giant Dahlias 



The ten sorts licre offered are, without ex- 

 ception, the largest anc} most perfect double- 

 flowering Dahlias grown, flowers of all of them 

 attaining a size of between five and six inches 

 across under ordinary cultivation. As cut 

 flowers for vases they are of exceptional 

 value, all having long stems, and are 

 exceedingly effective and last a long time 

 in good condition. 



Cuban Giant. Immense ball-shaped 

 blooms of bright maroon; free and 

 early. 



Dreer's White. Introduced by us in 1909, 

 and unquestionably the most valuable 

 Dahlia sent out in many years. In 

 color a pure glistening white, and re- 

 sembling in form the popular Grand Duke 

 Alexis, while in freedom of flowering it is not 

 surpassed by any. It has succeeded in all parts 

 of the country, has been much admired at the 

 exhibitions where shown and has in most cases 

 been awarded the premier prize as the finest 

 white show variety. 



Grand Duke Alexis. Large, massive flowers, ivory- 

 white, with a faint tinge of rose at the extremi- 

 ties of the petals.

 deeper markings, shading to white in the centre; 

 a beautiful sort for cutting. 



Mrs. Roosevelt. Of immense size and remarkably 

 free flowering; color a delicate silvery-rose, 

 which is very attractive when cut.

 of this type; a seedling of Souvenir de Gustave 

 Doazon, which it exceeds in size, frequently 

 measuring 8 inches and over in diameter; in 

 color a bright blood-red, shading 

 deeper to the centre; a variety 

 which attracts universal attention.

 rative variety of mammoth propor- 

 tions, which, under ordinary culti- 

 vation, will produce flowers 6 

 inches across, and can be grown to

 ering and pure red in color.

 and valuable for all purposes.
