(subject of HALl'-TOXli ILLUSTRATION PAGE 1.) 
In this grand Dahlia we have the first really variegated Dahlia in the cactus sec- 
tion. Color a clear bright orange, striped and fleclved with bright red. Petals are very 
long, and curved towards the center. Flowers are large, and the plant an erect, robust 
grower. A glance at the illustration will show the form to be a model of perfection. 
I have but a few tubers on sale this year. Price, 50 cents each.

"Mrs. Winters is the best 
white Dalilia I have seen. It 
has never shown an open cen- 
ter with me. and the outer 
petals are always fresh and 
well preserved."

''YourDahlias all proved to 
be extra fine, especially Mrs. 
Winters. Everyone who saw 
the blooms thoughtthoy were 
immense and perfect in every 
p:i i t iciilar."

"In offering this Dahlia, I believe I am introducing the best White Dahlia yet pro- 
duced. 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 5 to 7 
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 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 last season. And now after another 
year's trial I find no reason to modify, but rather to increase its praise. 
It is still the grandest of all white Dahlias. 
I sold myself short of planting stock last season, so the price remains the same 
as then. Strong tubers, 50 cents each; $5.00 per dozen.
