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 continue to 
bloom until winter. 
Strone roots ot leading va- 
rieties, 20 cts. each, $2 per

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 5 to 7 inches 
in diameter, with beautiful pointed petals. The 
plant grows to a height of 5 feet. 
New Pink Dahlia, “ Sylvia.” A most decora- 
tive variety. Flowers about 5 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. 
Mrs. Winters. This is an exceptionally large 
pure waxy white sort ; flowers measuring 5 to 7 
inches in diameter and a splendid decorative va- 
riety. Strong growth. 
Fighting Mac. A beautiful cactus variety. Rich 
fiery crimson, florets narrow and curved grace- 
fully inwards ; 4.1^ feet. 
Walthari. Very fine, graceful and loosely 
arranged flowers of a sulphur-yellow. Very pleas- 
ing color. 
□ Kriemhilde. An exquisite, delicate shell-pink, 
shading to cream in the center; undoubtedly the 
finest and most perfect pink Cactus Dahlia to date, 
and as a cut-flower likely to supersede all other 
pink sorts. It blooms very freely, producing 5- 
inch flowers on long, stiff, wiry stems 4 feet high. 
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. 
t 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. 
HohenzoUem. A bronze, orange-red shade. 
A. D. Livoni. The best clear pink. Perfectly 
full and double. Magnificently formed. Beauti- 
ful soft pink. Early and profuse bloomer.
