NEW DECORATIVE DAHLIA, 
GRAND DUKE ALEXIS. 
GRAND DUKE ALEXIS. (Natural size.) 
This has proved itself to be one of the most magnificent Dahlias sent out for some years, and a variety 
that will, undoubtedly, become highly popular. It is quite a new departure in the decorative section, 
each floret being rolled up at the edges, so that one side overlaps the other, giving the flower a most 
beautiful and attractive appearance. The blooms are often of immense size, of the most lovely pure 
white, and in a good light, show a glistening silk-like sheen ; sometimes the centre and the back of the 
flower have a very faint tint of lilac, when the effect is extremely beautiful. The plant is a strong and 
vigorous grower, with handsome dark green foliage, and is very free-flowering. We can highly recom- 
mend this charming flower, which we offer at a price within the reach of all.
