HENRY A. DREER, PHILADELPHIA 



DEIOORATIVE DAHLIA 

 AUGUS'TE NO'NIN 



Delice. Its beautiful soft, yet lively color, a glowing 

 rose-pink, together with its perfect shape, stout, 

 stiff stems, which hold the flowers well above the 

 foliage, and the fact that when cut it retains its 

 freshness for a long time, makes this one of the 

 most valuable for cutting or decorative 

 sorts in the garden. Illustrated on back 

 cover of this catalogue. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per dozen. 



Distinction, a most desirable long stemmed 

 cut flower of a tender rose-pink shading to 

 a creamy white centre. Plants, 75 cts. each. 



Flamingo. As a cut flower, this will rank in 

 the class with Delice, the flowers are held 

 erect on stiff stems of a rich and glowing 

 rose-pink, while it frequently shows an 

 open centre; this does not detract from its 

 beauty. Plants, 75 cts. each. 



Gloire Lyonnaise. a bright golden-yellow 

 flamed with rosy-carmine at the points; 

 very effective and a splendid Dahlia. 50 

 cts. each. 



Henri Jordain. a brilliant geranium-lake red 

 with very dark suffusions and markings. 

 Plants, 50 cts. each. 



Innocence, a small flower of the purest 

 white, the plants which grow as compact 

 bushes are at all times covered with bloom; 

 a gem for cutting. Plants, 50 cts. each. 



Jack Rose. Brilliant crimson-red, similar in 

 shade to the popular "Jack" Rose, which 

 suggested its name; perfect for garden 

 decoration or for cutting. Illustrated on 

 back cover of this catalogue. 25 cts. each; 

 $2.50 per doz. 



Jeanne Charmet. a splendid cut flower vari- 

 ety of a pleasing shade of violet-rose on a 

 lighter ground. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



Kaiserin Augusta Victoria. The first of the 

 decorative sorts to come into flower, of 

 medium size, good form and pure white 

 color. 25 cts. each; $2.50 per doz. 



New and Extra Choice 



Decorative Dahlias 



The Decorative Dahlias are an intermediate form 

 between the Show and Cactus types. Many beautiful 

 varieties have been introduced, some with flat petals, 

 others reflexed, incurved or curiously twisted, but 

 nearly all are without formality or stiffness, and 

 practically all of them are leaders as cut flowers, 

 bearing their large, perfectly formed blooms on 

 long, stiff stems and standing in good condition 

 ► longer than most kinds; furthermore, they are 

 of easy culture, and seem to adapt themselves 

 to and succeed under the most varied condi- 

 tions; a combination which assures their con- 

 tinued popularity. 



^^Athalia. Rich ox-blood red with maroon shad- 

 Ings, a fine flower of giant size, extremely 

 free flowering. Plants, 75 cts. each. 



Auguste Nonin. a very large flower of 

 elegant form, very free and borne on 

 long, stiff stems, will prove valuable for 

 cutting or garden decoration. Plants, 

 50 cts. each. 



Autumn Glow, a large full flower of fine 

 form, primrose-yellow with bronze shad- 

 ings, stiff long stems; a fine cut flower. Plants, 

 75 cts. each. 



Beloit. Particularly effective on account of its 

 very large flowers, borne on stems 18 to 20 

 inches long and held well above the foliage; 

 these are full double, of splendid form, of a 

 rich purplish-garnet, shading deeper towards 

 the centre. Plants, 25 cts. each; $2.50 per dozen. 



Chantecler. Ground color cadmium-yellow, striped, 

 splashed and spotted with deep carmine-red; a very 

 pretty fancy variety. Plants, 50 cts. each.
