LOBELEY — Flowers are of an agreeable size, and for beauty of shape and exquisite tint is far 
ahead of any other variety in eomn.crce, excelling them in the more chaste and graceful combinaiion 
of habit and bloom, aitracting the eye by its charmingly suit and richly blended rose colours, likened 
to the beautiful La France Kose, melting or shading towards the centre into ivory-white, fc It 
flowers in the wildest profusion, and is more than remarkable for its long stiff wiry stems 
supporting blossoms of ti e most perfect porcupine quill shape well above the foliage, and at no 
time exhibiting even in the slightest degree, heavy or half-developed flowers — so frcciuently the 
case with many of our standard varieties. These sterling decorative garden (|iialities, comhined 
with its inimitable shape and delicate colour, demand for it in the garden and cut flower trade a 
place that cannot be filled b.v any other Dahlia at present in cultivation. 3s. each.
