18 W. D. Hathaway's Catalogue and Price List 
ROSA NELL. The color is a clear, bright rose, the flowers are large, and 
I consider it the best shaped Decorative Dahlia I have seen, coming 
perfectly full and double until frost; good stems and_ habit. If I could 
have but one Decorative Dahlia, this would be my choice, as the color is 
a rare one in dahlias and attracts immediate attention, while in form 
cannot be surpassed. This dahlia when it becomes known, will be in 
every flower lover's garden. The highest praise of this grand dahlia 
has been received from all partso f the country where it has been tried.

SHUDOW'S LAVENDER. The very large bloom is a silvery lavender 
s lightly shading to white. In hot weather the white will be more marked, 
but as the season advances will almost entirely disappear. The stem 
is absolutely perfect, long and stiff, and holds erect the big blossom. 
It will bloom constantly and freely from early to late season and never 
show a center, and also has excellent keeping qualities as a cut flower. One 
of its most unusual features is the attractive, lace like foliage The 
plant is a very tall and robust grower. Tubers $7.50, plants $3.75?

SPA. This is a prolific and continuous producer of immense flowers. The 
bushes are very dwarfed and should be planted in the outer row of a 
dahlia patch. The blossom is of the deepest shade of lilac or mauve and 
stands erect on a full stem. Local growers welcomed this introduction 
as new colors were needed for their exhibits. Lovers of mauve will find 
the dahlia particularly good for cutting. $2.00.'
