''Mrs. Winters is the best 
wliite Dahlia I have .seen. It 
has never sliown an open cen- 
ter witli me, and tlie outer 
petahs are always fresh and 
well preserved."

"Mrs. Winters is a beauty. 
I have showed it to a number

it a perfect Dahlia."

"I consider Mrs. Winters the 
fineBt white Dahlia of her 
class. You cannot recommend 
her too highly. She is grand 
beyond deecnption.'*

"Your Dahlias all proved to 
be extra fine, especially Mrs. 
WinterB. Everyone who saw 
the blooms thought they were 
immense and perfect in every 
particular." 
MRS. J. A. LEMON. 
Denver, Colo., 1901. 
"1 think t^e new white Dah- 
lia, Mrs. Winters, is the most 
beautiful of all Dahlias. Much 
superior to any other white 
that I Itave seen." 
ALICE G. VAN STONE. 
MRS. WINTERS. (ONE-FOUETH NATURAL SIZE.) 
"In ollViiiig tlii.s Diililia, 1 believe I am introducing the best While D.ihlia yet produced. 
The elf.im is a large one, but I believe its merits will justify the claim. ... I originated 
it three years ago, and have watelied 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 5 to 7 inches in diameter, with beautifully 
l)ointed petals. . . . Another good quality is that it never shows an open center. The plant 
grows to a height of 3 feet, an<l i.s of a rather spreading habit, and in type belongs to the cactus 
section; but the petals, although pointed, are rather broad." 
The above are my introductory notes of two years ago. And now, after two years' longer 
trial, 1 find no reason to change or modify the above. It is still the grandest of all White 
Dahlias. Price, 40c each, $4.00 per dozen. 
COUNTESS OF LONSDALE. The freest- 
llowering Cactus Dahlia in the collec- 
tion, and perfect in form. Color, an 
exquisite shade of rich salmon, with 
just a suspicion of apricot at the base 
of the petals. Towards the tips the 
color deepens gradually to the softest 
carmine pink. (See cut.) 
Price. 2.1C each, $2.50 per dozen. 
BRITANNIA. (Cactus.) The superb 
form and delicate coloring of this 
Dahlia entitles it to a place in every 
collection. Its petals are very long 
and regular. Color, salmon pink, shad- 
ing to carmine. 
Price, ioc each. .$2.50 per dozen. 
ARACHNE. (Cactus.) 
A most renuukal)le (lower. The center 
of each petal is pure white edged along 
its entire length with broad band of 
COUNTESS OF LONSDALE brightest crimson. As, however, the 
edges of the petals are completely relle.xed, the wliite only of the outer jietals is seen when 
looking straight into the face of the flower, sideways the rellcxed crimson edges are fully 
visible, and give the flower a very elegant and coquettish api)earance. 
Price, 25c each, ,$2.50 per dozen.
