Sensation. A new Double Century or Peony-flowered Dahlia that 

 attracted the greatest attention ir. our fields the past two years. 

 Color vivid vermilion, heavily tipped snow-white. The bright, rich

 very startling, yet pleasing, and the name was a result of the com-

 readily seen — the graceful elegance of the Giant Century and the 

 lasting quality of the Decorative. The plant is a very strong, heavy, 

 sturdy grower, of branching habit, producing the flowers on very 

 long, straight stems ; it stands 5 feet or more in height. The plant 

 is an early and extremely profuse bloomer, distinctly unique and 

 striking, and for cut-flower purposes most profitable. Field roots, 

 30 cts. each, $3 per doz.
