MAY'S Selected Dahlias Field Grown Roots 
THE DAHLIA during ike past feV! years has steadily and rapidly grown in public favor. 
Hundreds of people who visited our nurseries and trial grounds last season were 
greatly surprised at the gorgeous display of blooming plants there on exhibition. Owing 
to the limited catalogue space we arc compelled to list only 
a few of what we consider the best varieties, and we are 
absolutely certain that the following list will please the 
most critical dahlia grower. 
New Cactus Dahlias. The Cactus Dahlias have become 
the most popular of recent years and deservedly 
so. The stems are very long and the flowers 
are more loosely formed with petals long and 
rolled to a point, thus giving them a peculiar 
grace and elegance unknown to the 
other dahlias. In our collection we 
have endeavored to list only 
ihe finer sorts, and those from 
prize winning strains. 
Belladonna. A beautiful flower, 
with long narrow petals forming a 
full, high centered flower. The 
cart is canary-yellow and the base of 
he petals is orange salmon, shading to 
.soft rose at the tips, making an exquisite 
combination of the whole. 
Floradora. A blood red flower 
with deep crimson 
shadings. Very large 
and most beautifully 
lormcd. 
General BuUer, Cardinal red, 
shaded with crimson, tips of petals 
white. Very fine. 
Kreimhilde. The color is a delicate pink 
shading to deep rose. The 
flowers after being cut a short 
timedevclop white petals at the 
center, giving it a 
beautiful white 
nd pink contrast. 
Profuse bloomer. Splendid 
for cutting. 
White iCreimhilde. Very 
1.1 rge, and a strong grower, 
with ail the good 
points of Kreim- 
hilde. but the flow- 
er is pure white. 
tawine. White, with just 
a suggestion of blush as 
the flower matures. A 
fine. full, large flower, and 
one of the best. 
Master CarU Bright yel- 
ow. with amber shadings. 
Very large, petals immense 
.ind gracefully curved. Long 
stems and a strong, vigorous 
plant. 
MIS.T. J. Woodall. Primrose 
pink, shading to rose pink 
at the points of the petals, 
which are long and narrow 
and gracefully curved, ma- 
King this dahlia a most ex- 
quisite flower. 
Roland von Berlin. A brilliant 
geranium red, with deeper shad- 
ings. V'ery large and extra- 
ordinarily handsome, and a 
dahlia very much admired b^ 
the growers of this 
favorite 
flower.

Sequoia. A beautiful variety with long 'tubular petals, cleft at the tip.*;, 
deep saffron yellow, sulTused with red. 
Uncle Tom. A black dahlia, or so dark that it appears black with 
dark maroon shading, and a satiny gloss. Petals long and grace- 
fully curved- One of the handsomest of the cactus dahlias. 
Any of the Choice Cactus Dahlias shown above, each 30c., 
dozen $3.00. 
CACTUS DAHLIAS kave become very popular and deservedly. 
Hybridizers the world over have been devoting extra 
attention to them and the improvement is very marked 
both in color and form. In color the Cactus Dahlia shows 
more variation and pleasing combinations than is found in 
the others. The flowers are borne airily on long stems, 
J hey are lighter than the others, more loosely formed, more 
{ir;tceful, consequently arc of the greatest value for cut flowers. 
The petals are long, and rolled usually to a rounded point; they 
are incurved and erect in many varieties, giving great depth an_ 
character to the flowers. We offer a grand and varied collection and 
desire to see this beautiful flower grown by all who appreciate the best 
hat nature can supply to them with the assistance of practical floriculturists, 
u wilt not regret the fact of your adding the Cactus Dahlia to your collection
