As a Dahlia decidedly different in both color and 
formation, this attractive informal Decorative is 
in a class by itself and has already won great favor. 
A brilliant, dazzling scarlet, shading to a deep 
rich scarlet, gives it a rare color effect not found 
in any other flower. 
An Honor Roll Dahlia for two years, JAMES 
KIRBY is the recipient of an American Dahlia 
Society Certificate of Merit and winner of honors 
at many shows, including a handsome silver 
trophy for the best introduction in the A. D. S. 
Show in New York. 
Good reports have reached us from different 
sections of the country showing a good growing 
record under unfavorable and varying climatic 
conditions. 
Thrifty habit of growth, good keeping qualities 
and a color that has not been duplicated, make 
JAMES KIRBY invaluable for exhibition and as 
a cut flower and commends it to a place in every 
collection.

The color of this Dahlia is a delightful shade 
of clear, soft, golden bronze with a satiny sheen. 
Of the many Autumn shades we have grown, we 
consider this the most beautiful. It blends well 
in a color scheme with Golden Eclipse and 
Roseata. 
The blooms are a good formal Decorative type 
of large size, with exceptionally stiff stems, and 
are good keepers. Under average conditions the 
plant is medium in height, but grown in partial 
shade the past season, it grew five to six feet tall. 
SENECAS is a most attractive variety that re¬ 
sponds nicely to disbudding and forcing. 
Roots $5.00 each. Plants $2.50 each 
This is another useful variety for the home and 
for the florist. It is a rich Autumn bronze Decor¬ 
ative, medium in size and an excellent keeper. 
NATHAN HALE is much prized by private gar¬ 
deners for its ability to produce an abundance of 
blooms of good Autumn shade for decorative 
purposes. 
For best results, we recommend growing this 
Dahlia without forcing or disbudding. It is in¬ 
valuable as a cut flower.
