New Century Single 

 Dahlias 



Our illustration shows the character of this gigantic 

 new type of Single Dahlia. The flowers measure from 4 

 to 6 inches in diameter, borne on stems 2 to 3 feet in 

 length. They are of massive substance and keep long in 

 water when cut. 



GlaclvS (Novelty '09). Too much could not be said of this e.x- 

 ^ y c|uisite New Century. It has a distinctly clear-cut or 

 thorouglibi f d appearance of great substance and consequently long- 

 keeping (lualities. Of largest size, it is distinct from all other Cen- 

 tury Dahlias, as it has a broad band of brilliant rosy crimson through 

 the center of the outer two-thirds of the petal, and a brilliant rosy 

 pink band on either side, with a white penciling dividing them, and 

 a snow-white disk with yellow halo around the golden yellow center. 

 Strong, vigorous and very profuse bloomer. The most valuable fea- 

 ture, is that, unlike the 20th Century, it holds its color to the last. 

 The photo of engraving here shown was taken October 20. Strong 

 roots, 50 cts. each, $5 per doz.

 inches in diameter, of beautiful snow-white color. Strong, vigor-
