DAHLIAS 



New Double White Dahlia "Storm King." (Blizzard.) 



Fourteen Grand "New Cactus Dahlias. 



A selection of the very best European introductions of the 

 past few years, surpassing anything of this kind ever 

 brought together. Awarded first honors at the exhibition 

 of the National Dahlia Society, the past summer, in com- 

 petition with many other collections. 



Aegir. The petals, which are tubular or quilled, are twisted 

 and arranged in the most fantastic yet regular form, giv- 

 ing the flower a most unique and pleasing appearance ; 

 in color it is a rich, warm cardinal scarlet. 



Austin Cannell. Entirely distinct on account of its long, 

 narrow, twisted tubular petals, giving the flower a pecu- 

 liar clean cut appearance. It is of a light crimson rose 

 shading lighter towards the edges. 



Charles Woodbridge. A magnificent variety of a light 

 crimson shaded purple. 



P. Bartels. Well built flowers of medium size, of a 

 bright scarlet, when first opening showing a violet shade. 



Q-eorge Marlow. Primrose yellow shaded amber, an 

 improvement on all others of this type. 



Green's Qem. A rich and glowing orange red, bright 

 and fiery, with long, narrow, twisted petals which are in- 

 curved in such a manner that it gives the flower a pecu- 

 liar light and airy appearance. 



HohenzoUern, Of a rich orange-red bronze color with 

 golden, sheen, a flower of immense size. 



John H. Roaoh. The finest soft yellow yet introduced. 



Loreley. This handsome variety was awarded a silver 

 medal at the Hamburg International Horticultural Expo- 

 sition in 1897 ; it is one of the finest of the pink varieties 

 yet introduced ; it is of true Cactus form, the outer petals 

 are of a soft La France pink gradually shading lighter 

 towards the centre, which is a creamy white. 



Miss Webster. Pure white without a tinge of color, 

 excepting on the reverse of the lower petals, where it is 

 slightly tinged with rose during extreme hot weather. 



Mabel Keith. Petals narrow and twisted, of a bufi" 

 color, sufi'used with soft pink shading to creamy yellow 

 centre. 



Miss Annie Nightingale. Outer petals broad and flat 

 inner petals curled and twisted, occasionally showing a 

 single centre which, however, does not detract from the 

 flower, but rather adds to its graceful, unique appear- 

 ance ; color clear yellow flaked and heavily edged with 

 scarlet. 



Mrs. A. Beck. Of a true Cactus form with long, twisted 

 petals, loosely arranged, forming a graceful large flower 

 of a rich salmon red with scarlet reflex. 

 Strahlen Krone. Intense cardinal red, rich and glow- 

 ing, with long, twisted petals ; in our estimation the most 

 perfect and handsomest Cactus Dahlia in cultivation. 

 Price, 25 cts. each ; |2.50 per doz. ; $20.00 per 100. 

 The set of 14 for $3.00. 



New White Dahlia-" Storm King." 



Magnificent, perfectly formed snow-white flowers, borne 

 in the greatest profusion on long, strong stems, perfectly 

 suited for cut-flower purposes. The blooms are of medium 

 size, perfect in form, with petal slightly notched. In habit 

 it is similar to A. D. Livoni, but is a more profuse bloomer 

 than that free flowering variety, while the stems average 

 longer, and as the plant branches close to the ground, it 

 enables it to withstand winds and drouth better than any 

 other variety. $2.50 per dozen ; $20.00 per 100. 



Our Cover Set of Single Dahlias. 



For colored illustrations see cover of Dreer's Garden 

 Calendar. A superb collection of the four finest varieties yet 

 introduced ; fine for summer cut flowers. 

 Anemone. A pure chaste white variety, resembling a 



large white Anemone Japonica. 

 Ami Barillet. Brilliant garnet, dark bronzy foliage. 

 Evelyn. Delicate soft pink with white disc around a 



yellow centre. 



St. George. The grandest single Dahlia ever intro- 

 duced, pure clear yellow, 3 to 4 inches in diameter. 

 $1.25 per dozen ; $10.00 per 100.
