and by permission of Mrs. Bowen Tufts of Bos¬ 
ton and Allerton, Mass., in recognition of her 
admiration for the beautiful. This creation is 
the finest of my new Peony-flowered Dahlias, hav¬ 
ing gigantic, deep rosy purple blossoms, which are 
produced well above the foliage upon long, grace¬ 
ful stems. The habit of the plant is excellent 
flower stems being long and the bushes tall and 
exceptionally sturdy. $1.00 each.

sweetest rose-salmon, with a blend¬ 
ing of golden yellow at center. This

Mr. J. K. Alexander,

Dear Sir,— 
Received the replace bulb O.K. and 
was surprised a few days later to re¬ 
ceive another bulb, “Reine Cayeux,” 
and wish to thank you very much for 
both; also for the premium bulb sent 
with the regular order. All are growing 
fine, and will certainly send you an¬ 
other order in the Spring if we do not 
move. 
Yours truly 
John A. Flagg.
