DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one flower in which it seems 
that almost perfection has been reached. For this 
reason perhaps it is somewhat neglected. In 
Texas, if strong roots be planted early they can 
be had in bloom as early as May i, and will con- 
tinue to bloom until winter. Strong roots of lead- 
ing varieties, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz. After 
April I, pot-plants, 75 cts. per doz. 
NEW CACTUS DAHLIAS 
Countess of Lonsdale. A most profuse bloomer. 
Flowers are borne on long, stiff stems. Color a 
delicate apricot, shading toward the edges of the 
petals to carmine-pink. Early and one of the very 
best. Makes a gorgeous display grown either as 
a single plant or in mass. 
Green’s White. The best white Cactus Dahlia 
of the day, exceedingly free-flowering and very 
decorative. When in bloom it is covered with a 
wealth of flowers. 
Spotless Queen. The flowers are of purest 
white, medium size and well shaped ; very free- 
flowering and early. With those who prefer a 
small flower, this is a favorite variety. 
DAISIES 
The Shasta. Luther Burbank, who has origi- 
nated so many wonderful new fruits, has turned 
his attention to flowers, and has astonished the 
floral world with a Daisy which seems to surpass 
anything he has ever produced in fruit. It is a 
perfectly hardy perennial that will be a great 
addition to bedding plants and to cut-flowers. 
The plants grow fast and increase rapidly. It is 
a fine bloomer. A bed of these giant white 
Daisies in full bloom is a sight worth seeing. The 
flowers measure 3/4 to 4 inches across, and are 
borne on stems 18 inches to 2 feet long. They 
have two rows of long, broad white petals and a 
yellow center. The foliage grows near the ground 
and the numerous long, slender-stemmed white 
flowers rise most gracefully amid the bed of green. 
It is a wonderfully effective bedding plant, bloom- 
ing all through the spring and summer months. 
The flowers keep in water for two weeks. 10 cts. 
each, $i per doz. 
DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
Katherine Duer. Novelty from Newport gar- 
dens. The flowers are of immense size, 7 inches 
across, opening out flat and showing no center; the 
petals are wide and rounding. Color the most 
beautiful glowing scarlet without markings. The 
plant is a strong, robust grower; height, 5 feet. 
Henry Patrick. A pure waxy white. It blooms 
very freely, producing flowers from $ to 7 inches 
in diameter, with beautiful pointed petals. The 
plant grows to a height of 5 feet. 
New Pink Dahlia, “Sylvia.” A most decorative 
variety. Flowers about five inches, of fine form 
and full to the center, which is white shading to 
soft pink on the rim. Petals of great substance, 
giving it a shipping quality not possessed by any 
other variety. The plant is a strong, healthy 
grower, averaging about 5 feet and bushy. An 
early and profuse bloomer. The fine shapely 
flowers are set on very long stems. Small tubers,

paid ; too by express for $10.
