•p^A-yT TAQ We have revised our list of Dahlias this year to include only such varieties as 
have stood the test of popular criticism and have proven themselves to have dis- 
tinctive advantages.. For this reason, in making your selection from this catalogue it will be prac- 
tically impossible for you to go wrong in your choice of bulbs. 
Our Dahlia Bulbs are grown by an expert who is also an enthusiast and whose skill and experi- 
ence in this direction are equalled by few. Because of this, our bulbs can alw'ays be depended upon 
to come true to name. A very necessary requisite if you wish to exhibit them sucessfully. 
We have also been able this season to make a very noticeable reduction in price on some of the 
rarest and choicest varieties which, we have no doubt, will be much appreciated by our Dahlia patrons. 
We wish you success in your Dahlia growing this year and will be glad to know of your success 
with our bulbs. 
NEW AND CHOICE CACTUS DAHLIAS 
CACTUS. These sorts have long petals, sometimes coming in irregular shapes, putting one in 
mind of the Chrysanthemum flower. They are all very free in bloom and are very valuable for cut- 
ting, their many beautiful colors being very generally admired; for a small amount of labor we 
know of no flower that will give such returns. 
BRIGADIER. Large and of splendid Cactus 
type with rolled petals, well placed, making a 
very symmetrical and graceful flower. Color, a 
rich, attractive red. Bulbs, each, 75c. 
CANDEUR. We consider this a dahlia of spe- 
cial merit, having proven its advantages both as 
a cutting and garden variety. The flowers are 
large and a wonderful pure white in color and 
because of its beautifully incurved petals, closely 
resembles the chrysanthemum in appearance. 
Bulbs, each, 75c. 
COMET. An unusual dahlia in many respects. 
It is extra large, a very free bloomer and its 
coloring puts it into a class by itself, with its 
beautiful silver rose petals, flecked with crimson. 
Bulbs, each. 35c. 
CONQUEST. A very large Cactus of excellent 
habit and splendid color. Petals gracefully curved 
and a beautiful, deep crimson in color. A steady 
favorite. Bulbs, each, 75c. 
CRYSTAIi. (See en- 
graving.) One of the 
most beautiful dahlias 
yet produced and a 
splendid exhibition flow- 
er. The long, incurved, 
twisted petals making it 
of the finest form, and 
in size it has few equals. 
The coloring is, indeed, 
charming, the silvery 
pink petals shading to a 
creamy white in the cen- 
ter. Your collection will 
be much improved by the 
addition of this lovely 
variety if you do not al- 
ready have it. Bulbs, 
each, 75c. 
DR. ROY AFFDETON. 
This is the finest of the 
straight petaled type, of 
perfect star-like form; 
color, a beautiful light 
lemon yellow, merging to 
delicate salmon, lighter 
at the tips. Plants of 
good habit with long 
stems, making it splen- 
did for cutting. One of 
the best for exhibition 
purposes. Bulbs, each, 
DOROTHY HAWES. 
An exceptionally choice 
variety and very desir- 
able, possessing great 
beauty both of form and 
coloring. It is of good 
habit and free flow’ering 
for one so large. Color a 
rich, unusual cerise. Very 
specially priced at $1.00. 
EMFRESS. This is an- 
other dahlia that at- 
tracts much comment 
and admiration. It is 
very large, of beautiful 
form, having long, tubu- 
lar. incurved petals. In 
color it is a lovely tyrian 
rose. Bulbs, each, 75c. 
ETENARD DE DYON. One of the most ex- 
traordinary dahlias that has yet been oifered to 
a delighted public. It is of the hybrid cactus 
type and in form unlike anything else in the 
dahlia line. The petals are broad, curled and 
wavy, forming a flower six inches in diameter 
and four inches deep. It is both symmetrical 
and graceful. In color it is a rich royal purple 
with an indescribably brilliant suffusion. It is 
exceptionally free flowering when its size is taken 
into consideration, as most of the giant-flowering 
varieties are scant bloomers. Its habit of growth 
is perfect and we heartily recommend the Etenard 
De Lyon to all dahlia enthusiasts. Bulbs, each, 
$1.00. 
EXPRESS. A very choice and lovely Cactus 
Dahlia of a beautiful, delicate lavender shade 
that is difficult to obtain in this type. We are 
offering it this season at a very special price. 
Bulbs, each, only $1.00. 
Cactus Dahlia (Crystal). 
HON. MRS. GREVIIiIiE. This new variety with the unusual beauty 
of its coloring, was considered one of the choicest specimens in our last 
exhibit. In coloring it is an exquisite apricot shade and in form it is 
symmetrical and pleasing. We are pleased to be able to list it at a great 
reduction in price this season. Bulbs, each, $1.00.
