PEACOCK DAHLIA FARMS 
JOHN WANAMAKER. (See illustration, page 13.) 
This, as the photograph shows, is the most beautiful 
of all dahlias, having a formation entirely its own 
in its charming irregularity. The flowers are alike, 
and yet not exactly alike, one of its charms. Awarded 
first prize as the best pink dahlia, any class, by the 
American Dahlia Society at the New York exhibi- 
tion. A substantial corroboration of all our claims. 
The plant is a strong, vigorous, branching grower, 
and the earliest, most constant and profuse bloomer. . 
KING ALBERT. In this we have a magnificently royal 
flower. Large, finely formed, rich royal purple. It is 
a strong vigorous grower and free bloomer 
L. KRAMER PEACOCK. In this new decorative we 
have an ideal white. The flowers are pure white of 
splendid form, with slightly cupped petals, something 
oi the shape of Aycsha and of the greatest substance 
being thick, leathery and keeping longer than any 
other white. It is of strong branching habit and pro- 
duces the flowers on stiff rigid stems. It is an early 
iree and continuous bloomer. We have tested this 
variety most rigidly for the past (lye years and it has 
proven itself the most reliable and best white decora- 
tive to date; surpassing such varieties as Mont Blanc 
i r.ncess Juliana and Hortulanus Witte in size, form 
and keeping qualities 
MARIANNE. A most Eack 
pleasing and distinct va- 
riety that is greatly ad- 
mired. Color a rich 
purple and white; very 
striking $ .50 
MINNIE BURGLE. (Mina 
Burgle.) Another year 
has again demonstrated 
that this is the best red 
dahlia in the world. The 
plant is a strong, vigor- 
ous grower, with dark 
glossy foliage and an 
early free and continuous 
bloomer. The flowers are 
of large size, perfect form 
and produced on long 
stiff stems. The color is 
a vivid vermilon red. It 
has no faults, and requires 
no special care or atten- 
tion. By this we mean it 
is the flower that will 
grow anywhere, in any 
kind of soil. We grew it 
the past four years in both 
clay, gravel and sandy 
soil and it was equally 
fine in all. It was, owing 
to its erect stems, vivid 
color, large size and free- 
dom of bloom, the most 
conspicuous variety in our 
trials the past season. 
MINNIE BURGLE should 
be in every collection. We 
stake our reputation on all 
our claims that it is the 
best red for amateurs in 
the garden, for exhibition, 
and for all purposes. (See 
illustration, page 15.) 
Strong roots 
MRS. C. H. BRECK. One 
of the most effective 
varieties for all purposes. 
Color soft yellow suffused 
and tipped carmine, bright 
and effective. The plant 
is a strong vigorous 
grower of dwarf, branch- 
ing habit and an early, 
profuse and continuous 
bloomer. The flowers are 
large and borne on stiff erect stems. It is a hybrid 
decorative. (See illustration, page 14.)... 
ORANGE BEAUTY. One of the handsomest decora- 
tive varieties that has ever been introduced. It is a 
beautiful glistening orange, deep and rich, the clearest 
and richest of this popular color. The plant is a very 
sturdy healthy grower, of medium height, branching 
habit and produces the flowers freely on good stiff 
stems. The flowers are of good size and splendid 
form, the outer petals reflexing to the stem. A splen- 
did cut flower, very striking and effective, both under 
natural and artificial light, also very effective in the 
garden 
PINK FLAMINGO. While the name is a misnomer', 
the flower is a beauty, being of fine form, sometimes 
showing an open center. Color violet rose, over- 
laid Tynan rose; very early and free flowering 
PINK JACK ROSE. Rose pink sport of Tack Rose.. 
PRINCE OF ORANGE. This is what has been wanted 
for a long time. A first-class orange, and this variety 
will most satisfactorily fill the want. Rich orange, 
ot fane form, large size and a fine bloomer 
Propaganda. Primrose yellow, lightly suffused crim- 
son on reverse of petals
