32 CLIBRANS’ LIST OF DAHLIAS FOR 190S. 
New Paeony-Flowered Dahlias. 
AN ENTIRELY NEW AND DISTINCT RACE. 
The flowers produced by this family of Dahlias are quite 
dissimilar from all others ; of large size, measuring from 6 to 
8 inches in diameter, with stout petals of great breadth, 
many of them being slightly twisted ; a second (in some 
cases three, and four) row of somewhat smaller petals, 
frequently more twisted, is developed in many of the (lowers. 
'The colours cover a wide range of seifs and intermediate 
shades ; the habit of the plant is robust and vigorous, with 
large, bold foliage. They usually attain a height of about 
five feet ; every flower standing upon a long stiff stem, 
well above the foliage. On the Continent, from whence 
these varieties originated, many awards have been given 
them. Some who have seen them in this country claim 
that they will rapidly supersede the popular Cactus type.
