Decorative Dahlias 
(SPECIAL NOVELTY) 
Very scarce, green plants only, $10.00 each. 
King of the Autumn. The grower of this wonderful 
variety, perhaps the greatest raiser of dahlias in the 
world, considers this the crowning achievement of 
his career as a grower. "The shade is quite new, 
buff yellow and terra-cotta suffused through it. It 
is unique in color and shows great vigor in flower, 
stem and foliage. It will be a winner at every show. 
We consider it the best dahlia introduced by us."

Madonna. The flowers are of the hybrid Cactus type, 
and though bold and large are not coarse. 
The blooms are often over 8 inches across, and the 
ivory-white petals, which glisten, are so numerous, 
that high, full-centered flowers can always be ex- 
pected. 
The habit is compact and perfect, and it is excep- 
tionally free in blooming, and in addition to being so 
free-flowering and constant the blooms are borne on 
long, stiff stems, and last well for many days when 
cut. 
Leviathan. "A monster decorative, with blooms car- 
ried on huge stems, perfectly erect, the florets being 
broad at the base, but reflexed and narrower at the 
points. Flowers massive and solid. Color orange 
scarlet throughout. A really wonderful variety, and 
one well worth the attention of every grower."
