DENVER'' 
3Co<ve[ty of 1900 
A lovely purelyellow Dahlia, of 
the decorative form. When first opening it 
shows a shading: of orange bronze, which grives 
way when the flower is fully expanded, leav- 
ing the color a beautiful clear yellow. Its 
riowers are borne freely on good stems well 
above the foliage. I consider this one of my 
host introductions. 3 feet.

CURIO '' 
The snhje<'t of this illustration 
urijjiimted with nie among: ii lot of seedlings 
which 1 planted in i8*JG, I was at once im- 
pressed by its distinctively unique formation 
and color. Another odd characteristic of 
Curio is that it often blooms in clusters of 
three. The tlower from which this illustration 
was made was one of a cluster of three, hut 
unfortunately the chister coulii not be so ar- 
raneed that all would show without makiner an 
ill-sliaped illustration. The plant is an erect, 
strong grower, with but little foliage aside 
from its stems. The Hower is of medium size 
and quite rouiuied in form. Its color is a rich 
orange bronze, bright and clear, and in this re- 
spect is also (luite different from all others. It 
is not rcronnnciided for cutting purposes, as 
it is too hi>:ivy, Imt as a show variety it will 
undoubtedly become very popular. Should 
have good cultivation and rich soil. 4 feet.
