NOVELTIES — Continued 
MABEL B. TAFT. The best decorative dahlia of its coloring. The biggest 
prize winner of 1919. Has all the qualities required in a dahlia and as a 
cut flower has no equal; rich apricot shading to pink. $2.50. 
MARY C. BURNS. Very large flower of the beautiful two-toned coloring. 
A sensational Dahlia. The outside of the petals are of old gold, and the 
reverse a dull red. Another invaluable Autumn-hued Dahlia, as the 
stems are long and stiff, and it keeps unusually well when cut. This 
is one of our favorite Dahlias. $3.50. 
MERiTORIOS. In this new variety we have one which is rightly named. 
The ground is yellow, shading to orange buff extending out to white tips, 
the whole being suffused with a golden sheen. The combination of 
colors are so blended that the flowers attracted as much attention as any 
flower we showed last year. The blooms are large and stems long. 
This flower has won certificates at Newport, Providence, Boston, New 
Bedford, and at the Trial Grounds at Storrs,_ Conn., it scored 86 points, 
winning a certificate from the American Dahlia Society. $2.00. 
MILLIE RODGERS. A wonderful flower of immense size; a beautiful color 
of old gold shading to amber; a wonderful combination, which gives 
a new effect in colors, the size of the blooms measuring 8 inches in 
diameter. The flowers are held erect on long stems far above the 
foliage. As a cut flower the blooms last for days. A pretty Dahlia for 
garden effect and good for exhibition purposes. The stock is limited 
Tubers $2.50, plants $1.25. 
MISS LEOTA CQTA. A more beautiful blending of creamy buff and pink 
would be hard to imagine; the flowers are enormous, coming 10 inches 
in diameter. This is not good for cutting, as the huge flowers are usually 
too heavy for the stems, but as an exhibition flower it is going to be 
hard to beat. Stock limited. Small field grown tubers. Tubers $3.00, 
plants $1.50. 
MR. ALEX. WALDIE. One of the most beautiful of dahlias. Gives immense 
flowers, held erect on strong stems. In color unsurpassed; a creamy 
ground overlaid with delicate salmon-pink, floral rays wide and full. 
By its bigness, color and form it captivates all. Tubers $5.00, plants $2.50. 
MRS. CARL SALBACH. The 1920 sensational Decorative Dahlia. Levender 
pink in color, showing up well in the garden, as the immense blooms 
are held erect on long especially good strong stems. Being a perfect 
exhibition as well as cut-flower, will make this wonderful dahlia in great 
demand, as it is unusually good. Stock very limited. $2.00. 
MRS. ESTELLE LAWTON LINDSEY. Scarlet and gold; the gorgeous 
coloring of the well known "Geisha" reproduced in an enormous full- 
centered decorative; the color varies on different blooms, but the two 
colors are always in evidence; the immense flowers, 7 to 9 in. in diameter, 
are on strong sterns; keeps well as a cut flower. Tubers $5.00, plants $2.50. 
MRS. J. FRACKLETON. Amaranth pink, shading to lighter center. $1.00. 
MRS. GERTRUDE DARLING. This we consider one of the best new 
dahlias offered in the east, because of its wonderous coloring, and autumn 
shade that is in very much demand. Orange buff suffused with apricot, 
shaded darker in the center. Of extra large size, and very strong upright 
stems. Flowers are produced in abundance on a strong, bushy plant. 
At the American Dahlia Society Trial Grounds at Storrs, Conn., it 
; was one that showed up well and was awarded a certificate. $1.50.
