DAHLIAS 
oA Select List of the Finest 
Commercial Cut Flower Kinds 
Our judgment of the Dahlias recommended below comes 
from two sources—first, the careful observation of these va¬ 
rieties under actual commercial production in the field where 
we rate them according to their freedom from disease, length 
and strength of stem and keeping quality oi the flower. This 
is followed by another close observation after the flowers 
reach the market, and from this source we are able to hear 
comments from those whose business it is to be judges of 
flowers. 
NATHAN HALE 
In introducing this variety to the commercial grower last season, 
we published testimonial letters from several leading retail and whole¬ 
sale florists in the New York area which supported our claim that this 
variety was held in high esteem. We watched it very carefully this past 
Summer and can repeat the claims. It is an informal Decorative type of 
the color shown on the front page. Is an easy, clean grower with long stems 
and flowers that hold up well under extreme market conditions. 
Per doz. $3.00, per 100 $20.00, per 1000 $175.00 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY 
This variety still outranks in' commercial production all other varie¬ 
ties combined, and probably three-quarters of the total acreage planted 
for cut flower production in the New \ork area is made up of Jerseys 
Beauty. Please note our price for good strong divisions. Rose pink. 
Per doz. 85c., per 100 $5.50, per 1000 $50.00 
JANE COWL 
While this variety is not recommended for long distance shipping, 
it is without a peer when used by florists for their own trade. Its color- 
coppery yellow—and its splendid form and character, together with its 
large size and good growing qualities, makes it one of the most acceptable. 
Per doz. $1.25, per 100 $8.00, per 1000 $75.00 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY 
ROSEATA 
Decorative. A beautiful amber color overlaid with old rose. This is 
an excellent market variety and is one of the finest keeping kinds now

where this quality was a factor. We can highly recommend it. 
Per doz. $2.25, per 100 $15.00
