THE COLLARET 
DAHLIA, THE COL- 
'LARET — We have much pleasure in 
offering seeds of the forerunner of 
quite a new race of Dahlias, and ab- 
solutely distinct from any hitherto 
in cultivation. This class possesses 
round the ordinary y ellow disc a series 
of stalked appendices of a collaret 
form, and producing a great orna- 
■mental effect, and the engraving gives 
a good idea of its nature. The colours 
are somewhat limited at present, but 
in the course of another season or so 
the variation of tints will be very 
much increased, and the formation of 
the remarkable collaret growth more 
accentuated. 
439. DAHLIA, THE COL- 
LARET, PRESIDENT VIGER— 
Large circular flowers on stiff foot- 
stalks of a reddish carmine colour, 
with a smaller collar of pure white 
florets ; very distinct and effective. 
9<f. 
440. DAHLIA, THE COL- 
LARET, JOSEPH GOUJON— 
Producing flowers a trifle larger than 
the above of a bright reddish scarlet, 
the collar florets being yellow, 
slightly marked red. fd. dahlia, the collaret, fresident viger. 
NEW COLLARET DAHLIAS, 1903. 
441. ETENDARD DE LYON— Bright velvety scarlet, collaret in bold relief, yellow at the 
base, white at the points, sometimes striped with red; vigorous habit, of medium height, flowers 
well above the foliage ; free flowering. 2s. Gd. 
442. GALLIA— Very round flower ; bright rose suffused and striped scarlet, passing to sulphur 
yellow, creamy white collaret; well developed. The combination is very pretty, and the 
prominence of the collar gives to the flower a very novel and attractive appearance ; vigorous 
habit ; a decided novelty. 2s. Gd.
