CACTUS DAHLIA, 

 CANDEUR 



Five Special Decorative Dahlias for Cutting 

 or Garden Decoration. 



Delice. The most popular variety. 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. 



Field roots, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Easton. Not an extra large flower, but a variety which, 

 on account of its brilliant color, good form and remark- 

 able free-flowering habit, is certain to become a stand- 

 ard, both as a cut flower as well as for garden decora- 

 tion; in color it is a brilliant Turkish or Oriental red. 

 Held roots, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



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 pureness. 



Field roots, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Hortulanus Flat. A giant-flowered variety with blooms 

 over 8 inches in diameter, of the most delicate shade 

 of shrimp-pink, the tip of each petal barely touched 

 with gold. The entire flower has a suffusion of delicate 

 tints of red and yellow, which gives a glow yet soft- 

 ness of color difficult to describe. 

 Plants ready in April. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; 

 $25.00 per 100. 



Mont Blanc. An early, free, continuous flowering 

 creamy-white on good stiff stems. One of the most 

 important cut-flower varieties. 

 Field roots, 10 cts. each; $1.00 per doz.; $8.00 per 100. 



Five Special Cactus Dahlias for Cutting:. 



Candeur. A wonderful pure white, which in the fully 

 developed flower more closely resembles an incurved 

 Chrysanthemum than any other sort; it is of fair size, 

 and a valuable cut flower. 



Field roots, 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $12.00 per 100. 



Galathea. A medium-sized flower of splendid form, 

 especially appreciated on account of its delicate color, 

 which is an even, tender soft pink. 

 Field roots. 15 cts. each; $1.50 per doz.; $10.00 per 100. 



Marguerite Bouchon. We have no hesitancy in saying 

 that this is the most beautiful Cactus Dahlia yet intro- 

 duced. It is of absolutely perfect form; every flower 

 on a good stem well above the foliage; color a magnifi- 

 cent shade of brilliant, yet soft rose, with very large 

 white centre and distinctly defined white tips. 

 Plants ready in April. 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; 

 $25.00 per 100. 



Rheinlscher Prohslnn. This variety appealed to most 

 of the visitors to our trial grounds during the past two 

 seasons as one of the most distinct and refined vari- 

 eties of recent introduction. The flowers are large, 

 of splendid form; the long incurving petals are white 

 at the base, but at about one-half their length they 

 become suffused with and change to a luminous car- 

 mine-rose, the two colors combining harmoniously 

 in forming a most attractive flower. 

 Field roots, 35 cts. each; $3.50 per doz.; $25.00 per 100. 



Thais. The rather broad petals, which are loosely 

 arranged, make up an informally shaped flower, 

 which, on account of its color, a pure white with a soft 

 mauve suffusion which is deposited over the snowy 

 petals like a dew, makes it one of the most delicately 

 colored sorts which we have yet offered. 

 Field roots. 20 cts. each; $2.00 per doz.; $15.00 per 100.
