W. W. WILMORE ^ DAHLIA SPECIALIST 
HOHENZOLLERN. In many respects 
this one is quite similar to Badenia. 
In shape of flower and habit o£ 
growth, they resemble closely. Color 
clear orange, a shade lighter than 
Badenia, but has no variegation. 
Strong tubers, 35 cents each; $3.50 
per dozen. 
A. L. CHASE (1902). This new, fancy 
Dahlia has so many combinations of 
color, that an accurate description of 
it is difiBcult. In general it may be de- 
scribed as a creamy white ground, 
spotted and streaked with bright pur- 
ple. Sometimes, however, it comes 
solid purple. At other times, one- 
half, or one-quarter solid while the 
other portion is streaked with pur- 
ple. 
Strong tubers, 25c each; $2.50 per 
dozen. 
CINDERELLA. This beautiful cactus 
Dahlia is undoubtedly among the 
very best of its class. Its form is a 
model of perfection. Petals are long 
and pointed, and quite regular in out- 
line. Color, dark purple maroon. A 
very early and free bloomer. Price, 
20 cents each; $2.00 per dozen. 
CHIPETA. A bold, dark red flower. 
Very large and full. Borne on long 
stems and flowering well above the 
foliage. (Show.) Price, 20c each; 
$2.00 per dozen 
GEN. CUSTER. Deep purple maroon; 
long stems and a very free bloomer. 
(Show.) 20c each; $2.00 per doz 
GRAND DUKE ALEXIS. A magnificent 
Dahlia of the largest size. Its petals 
are beautifully quilled, giving it a 
very unique appearance. Its color is 
pure white if slightly shaded, but 
overspread with delicate lavender 
when grown in bright sunlight. Un- 
doubtedly one of the best of the show 
varieties. 20c each; $2.00 per doz.. 4 
MRS. LINDER. This new decorative 
Dahlia I consider one of my best nov- 
elties. Its color is a beautiful creamy 
white, shading to blush pink. Of per- 
fect outline. Early and free. 20c 
each; $2.00 per doz 
JENNIE PEARSE. A lovely yellow cac- 
tus of medium size, petals long and 
regular, curving forward. Early and 
free. Price, 20c each; $2.00 per doz.

CLASSIFICATION OF DAHLIAS 
Dahlias are divided into six general classes, and are amply illustrated on the 
back of this Catalogue. 
Class ^. Cactus. — This class embraces the long narrow-petaled varieties; the pet- 
als of which are generally pointed or twisted. 
Class 2. Decorative, (so called for want of a better name). — This class is an inter- 
mediate form, having broad, flat petals, and was formerly classed with the Cactus lists. 
Class 3. Fancy. — This class takes in all variegated varieties. 
Class 4. Pompon.— This class embraces the small round Dahlias, the plants of 
which are generally of a dwarf, bushy habit. The lines for this class, however, are 
not clearly drawn. 
Class 5. Show. — The name Show generally applies to those varieties producing 
large, well-formed flowers, showing only solid colors, but may frequently have shaded 
tips. 
Class 6. Single. — Too well known to require a description. 
Note — There is of necessity more or less overlapping among the classes, and the 
above rules only apply in general.
