Up-to-Date Decorative Dahlias 
I will ship this collection of 21 Superb Decorative Dahlias, prepaid, to any part of the United 
States or Canada, for $30.00. 
BENEDICTUS XV. A very highly 
recommended variety imported from 
Holland. The color is a splendid 
deep yellow, with stiff stems holding 
the bloom upright and well above 
the foliage. One of the latest and 
best introductions in yellow Dahlias. 
Highly recommended. $1.00 each. 
BREEZE LAWN. A grand variety 
of great prom ise. A perfect exhibi¬ 
tion flower, measuring 8 inches and 
over when properly grown. Color, 
a vivid, fiery vermilion; splendid 
form, full center and perfect habit; 
free-flowering. $1.00 each. 
DARLENE. Alexander’s De 1 i c a t e 
New Decorative Seedling. An ex¬ 
quisite shade 9 f live shell-pink with 
a dainty blending of white at center. 
The plants make ideal specimens, 
averaging about 3 feet in height; 
a single plant making a very effective 
showing. For massing or hedging, 
“Darlene” is ideal. The foliage is 
a heavy, deep green, a perfect 
contrast with the pink-and-white 
blossoms. This variety is one of 
the most satisfactory garden va¬ 
rieties we are offering, the plants 
being literally covered with blossoms 
from early July until frost. The 
uniformity and perfection of the 
flowers show unusual qualities. 
Unquestionably the finest pink-and- 
white Decorative Dahlia to date. 
$1.00 each. 
DOROTHY FLINT. This is one of 
the most beautiful varieties in cul¬ 
tivation. The color combinations 
are exquisite, being a blending of 
salmon and pink with a yellow stripe 
running through the center of the 
petals. The flowers are from 6 to 7 
inches in diameter and are borne on 
long stems in great abundance, mak¬ 
ing it valuable for cutting. It is 
worthy of a place in the most ex¬ 
clusive gardens. $2.00 each. 
Francis Martin—Decorative Dahlia. (See page below.) 
DR. THURMAN. An exquisite combination of color¬ 
ing, the clear yellow of each petal being very del¬ 
icately suffused with copper tints. The plants are 
tall and sturdy with perfect habit, holding the 
large flowers to the best possible advantage. An 
extra fine Dahlia. $1.00 each. 
EDWARD PARROTT. This variety is different in 
color from anything else in my entire list, being a 
beautiful shade of violet-purple. The flowers are 
very large and are carried well above the foliage on 
very long, stiff stems. It is a profuse bloomer and 
ideal for cutting. $2.00 each. 
EVELYN V. MARSHALL. I regard this Dahlia as 
one of the most beautiful that I have ever seen, 
and if I were compelled to restrict my choice to 
one variety, this would be my choice without a 
moment’s hesitation. The ground color is white, 
heavily overlaid with violet-red, showing white 
tips and edges. The color combinations are simi¬ 
lar to those in “Mme. A. Lumiere,” but the flow¬ 
ers are three or four times as large. The flowers are 
variable in color and usually become lighter colored 
as the season advances. $3.00 each. 
EUGENE BURGLE. An improved seedling from 
the famous Mina Burgle. A rich, dark red in 
coloring, the blooms are of immense size and perfect 
form. The strong, luxuriant plants grow to a 
height of six feet, and hold the flowers erect and 
prominent. $2.50 each. 
FRANCIS MARTIN. One of the most charming 
new Decoratives and one that will be sure to give 
perfect satisfaction. A white ground, over-iaid 
lavender, the coloring is somewhat similar to the 
well-known W. W. Rawson, but the shade of laven¬ 
der is darker. The stems are long and very stiff, 
holding the large flower erect with ease. A good 
bloomer and ideal for cut flowers. $2.00 each. 
H. MAIER. A very large California production 
of the greatest merit. Of a shade a little darker 
than primrose-yellow, each petal is slightly flecked 
carmine. It is a strong grower, profuse bloomer, 
and holds the flowers on long, stiff stems. A very 
fine yellow Decorative. $2.00 each. 
JENNIE FAULKNER. One of the most distinc¬ 
tive medium-sized varieties in the list and a beauty. 
It is an intense reddish-peach color, shading to 
yellow at base of petals and showing a silvery reflex 
on the edges. It is impossible to describe the color 
combinations and tints accurately. They must be 
seen to be appreciated. It is a splendid bloomer. 
$2.00 each. 
KING OF THE AUTUMN. One of the finest 
Decorative Dahlias ever introduced. The habit 
is absolutely perfect, with strong, sturdy stalks, 
long, stiff stems and remarkably free-flowering; 
The coloring is something quite new and unique; 
buff yellow suffused terra cotta. Obtaining several 
First-class Certificates in Holland, this Dahlia is 
destined to become one of the most popular varieties 
ever introduced. $1.00 each.
