Peacock's Century Dahlias 
This entirely new race of single Dahlias was originated by us in the form of 20th Century and introduced in 1901, since 
which time we have originated and introduced the succeeding varieties. 
We consider that Peacock's New Century Dahlias occupy first place, where beauty of coloring and artistic effect is desired. 
Owing to their immense size, long stems, and graceful carriage, combined with their purity of color, or the blend 
shades and tints, they entirely outclass the older and smaller types. 
Blush Century. Very large, soft blush pink, height Iiach 
feet § .25 
Cardinal Century. Very large, rich cardinal red, the 
best deep red. Height 5 feet IS 
Cream Century. Another delicately colored giant flower. 
Color a rich cream which suggested the name. A fine 
companion to Mrs. Wendell Rcber. It has the same 
giant size, regular form, long stiff stems, robust habit 
of growth. The plants are 5 feet high and bloom early, 
profusely and continuously until frost. Strong roots. . . .25 
Crimson Century. Rich crimson, rose band around disc. 
Height 4 feet .15 
Eckford Century. Probably the largest single Dahlia 
in existence; the immense flowers, pure white, spotted 
pink and penciled crimson, are produced in abundance 
on long stiff stems. Height 5 feet 20 
Fringed 20th Century. The first of a new race, with 
cleft or seratcd petals. A great improvement of 20th 
Century, much larger, brighter color, while the stems 
are long, slender and stiff. Color bright rosy crimson, 
with lighter markings. Height 4 feet 
Geisha Century. This is an intensified Mrs. Wendell 
Rcber. The inner half of the petal is a rich yellow, the 
outer half is an intensely rich scarlet — thcGcisha colors — ■ 
hence the name. This is one of the most striking of the 
Century Dahlias and attracted marked attention in the 
fields, also was one of the most popular as a commercial 
cut flower. It gives you the Geisha color and the long 
stiff stem fordecorative effect thatislackinginthcGeisha.
