outer petals are alway ^ 
fresh and well preserved."

Dahlia.'

"I consider Mrs. Winters 
the finest white Dahlia of 
her class. You cannot rec- 
ommend her too highly. She 
is grand beyond descrip- 
tion." 
C. B. PERRY.

"Your Dahlias all proved 
to be extra fine, especially 
Mrs. Winter.s. Everyone 
who saw the blooms thought 
they were immense and 
perfect in every particu- 
lar." 
MRS. J. A. LEMON. 
Denver, Colo., 1901. 
"I think the new white 
Dahlia, Mrs. Winters, is 
the most beautiful of all 
Dahlias. Much superior to 
any other white I have 
have seen." 
ALICE G. VAN STONE 
MRS. WINTERS. (ONE-FOURTH NATURAL SIZE.) 
"In oflfering this Dalilia, 1 l)C'liovc I am introilucing the best white Dalilia yet produced. 
The claim is a large one, but I believe its merits will justify the claim. ... I originated 
it three years ago, and have watched ■ it carefully, and have yet to see the first imperfect 
flower. Its color is a pure waxy -white, which shows no tint or variation even in the 
strongest sunlight. It blooms very freely, producing flowers from five to seven inches in 
diameter, with beautifully pointed petals Another good quality is that it never 
shows an open center. The plant grows to a height of 3 feet, and is of a rallier spreading 
habit, and in type belongs to the Cactus section; but the petals, although pointed, are 
rather broad.'" 
The above are niy introductory notes of three j-ears ago. And I find no reason to change 
or modifj' the above. It is still the grandest of all white Dahlias.

"My Dabllas last season were a very gratifying 
success. In fact, were the finest I ever raised. 
Mrs. Winters was a beauty and produced some of 
the finest flowers I ever saw." D. T. STONE. 
Cape May, N. J. 
"I write to tell you of my very flattering suc- 
cess with the Dahlias I purchased of you. Since 
August the 1st they have been a blaze of color. 
Stock all grew and are among my finest varieties."
