DAHLIAS—Continued 
Mrs. Alfred B. Seal (I. D.)— Undoubtedly the 
largest and finest pure, rich glowing old rose dahlia 
ever produced. Nothing we have ever seen can even 
remotely approach it. Such an unusual coloring-—the 
softest, richest shade of absolutely pure, glowing old 
rose imaginable, without a trace of any other color. 
The flowers are huge, and of great depth, and sub¬ 
stance, and are held proudly erect above a fine strong, 
tall bush, on long, stiff stems. Each 50c 
Mrs. Eleanor Martin (I. D.) —Very large flowers, 
can be grown to 10 inches in diameter on stiff, 2-feet- 
long stems. The form is of best exhibition type and 
the coloring is unique, different from all others, a 
beautiful mulberry with golden suffusion. Each 35c 
Monmouth Champion (F. D.)—A giant flower of bril¬ 
liant glistening orange flame that has won mony a 
prize for keen competition. A truly great dahlia 
that has made good everywhere. Its wide spreading 
bush of strong vigorous growth produces many 
immense blooms, each with a perfect stem. A prize 
winner in all sections and highly recommended. 
Each 75c 
My Maryland (I. D.) —A graceful hybrid-cactus of 
rich bright pink, wtih each petal tipped with ivory 
both at the center and on the outside of the flower. 
The large flowers are carried on good stems well above 
a robust growing plant with leather like foliage. 
Each 50c 
Nature’s Masterpiece (I. D.) —An immense bloom, of 
gorgeous coloring that is hard to describe. A blending 
of old rose, cinnamon, and metallic bronze and suf¬ 
fused with mulberry. A rich combination and an odd 
flower. Stems are extra long and are all that could 
be desired. Each 25c 
New Glory (S. C.)—Maroon tipped white. This is a 
very striking fancy dahlia with the petals always 
tipped. Attracts immediate attention both in the gar¬ 
den and in the show room. The bloom is large, stems 
good and the general habit of growth is faultless. 
Each 75c 
Nopal (S. C.)—A large nopal red hybrid cactus. 
This is one of those rare reds that delight the grower 
who is tired of growing flowers that sunfade. Artistic 
form, perfect center, and canelike stems are among 
its charms. Each 35c 
Oriental Beauty (S. C.)—A magnificent new hybrid 
cactus that has to be seen to be appreciated. For sheer 
beauty and perfection of form, stem and foliage, this 
is the queen of dahlias. A clear brilliant rose pink, a 
tone deeper than Delice. Just a suggestion of a lighter 
tint at the tips accentuates the beautiful incurved 
form. Blooms 7 to 8 inches. Each 75c 
Pride of San Francisco (F. D.) —Large blooms of a 
brilliant golden salmon pink held erect on stout stiff 
stems. Plants are of compact' growth and flowers are 
extra fine keepers. Should be in every garden. 
Each 35c 
Radio (I. D.) —Blooms 10 inches in diameter with¬ 
out disbudding. The color is blood red, edged and 
tipped yellow, a color combination that attracts imme¬ 
diate attention. Each 35c 
POMPON DAHLIAS 
Pompons are the midgets of the dahlia family, pro¬ 
ducing very small compact flowers, like miniature 
snowballs, averaging about IV 2 inches in diameter. 
They are invaluable for cut flowers owing to their 
fine stems and long keeping qualities, and their 
abundance of blooms. All are dwarf growers averag¬ 
ing about 2% feet in height and are especially suit¬ 
able to plant as a border in front of the taller grow¬ 
ing, large flowering varieties.
