.•\ magnificent Dahlia of the 
largest size. Its petals are 
beautifully quilled, giving 
it a very unique appear- 
ance. Its color is pure 
white, if slightly shaded, 
but overspread with deli- 
cate lavender when grown 
in bright sunlight. Un- 
doubtedly one of the best 
of the show varieties.

ers. 20c each; $2.00 per doz. 
ajLIETY. 1911. A su- 
perb new decorative, vivid 
scarlet, heavily marked

riety far above the average 
of the fancy type. It 
proved an excellent cut

past season. Stems are 
long and flowers are pro- 
duced freely. Strong tub-

much reduced in size. Its flowers are uniformly even 
in outline and always full to the center. Immense 
size — often eight inches in diameter. The color Is 
pleasing, being an amber bronze with a distinct shad-

too large and the stems rather short. Height, 4 feet.

superior nor equal. Height, 
3 feet. Strong tubers, 20c 
each; $2.00 per doz.

der, the purest of its color

all the lavender colors.

Meadow Gold. 
MEADOW GOI.I>. (1912.) This variety was introduced last season and has been remarkably success- 
ful. I consider this one of the very finest decorative dahlias it has ever been my good fortune to offer the 
public. Its immense flowers are produced in profusion from early to late in the season. Unlike 'nost of the 
large flowers this one has a fine long stem that hold-i the flower quite erect so that it shows to full advan- 
tage. The plant makes a strong, sturdy growth to a height of about four feet. The color is fine — a prim- 
rose yellow, faintly tinged with delicate pink, changing in late fall to clear lemon yellow. Strong tubers, 
75c each; $7.50 per doz.

quisite form and color. Flowers are very large and

immense flowers above the foliage. Color, soft shell

ance. Fine for either garden or cutting purposes.
