LAVENDER BEAUTY. (Decorative.) 
A clear soft lavender shade. The 
flower is quite flattened in form, with 
petals deeply serretted. Excellent 
for cutting. Height 4 feet. 
Strong tubers, 20c each; ,$2. per doz. 
MANITOU. 1908. Beyond question 
this is the largest Dahlia grown. The 
illustration shows the flower much 
reduced in size. Its flowers are uni- 
formly even in outline and always 
full to the center. The color is pleas- 
ing, being an amber bronze with a 
distinct shading of pink. Not suita- 
ble for cutting, as the flower is too 
large and the stems rather short. 
Height, 4 feet. (See page 4.) 
Strong tubers, $1. each; $10. per doz. 
MRS. CORFMAN. (Decorative.) 1908. 
A fine vermilion scarlet flower borne 
on large stems well above the foliage. 
An interesting feature of this variety 
is its stems and branches, which are 
not green like the foliage, but a waxy 
pink almost transparent in appear- 
ance, which places it in a distinct 
class. Fine for either garden or 
cutting purpose?. Height, 2 feet. 
Strong tubers, 25c each ; $2. per doz.

flower. Color, a pleasing orange scarlet. A decided 
acquisition. Height, 4 feet.

and unique coloring. Purplish rose shading to helio- 
trope. Fine for cutting. Height 4 feet.

rative Dahlia that has proven a favorite with all and
