DARLENE. Alexander’s Delicate New Decorative 
Seedling. An exquisite shade of 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 varieties we are offering, 
the plants being literally covered with blossoms 
from early July until frost. The uniformity 
and perfection of the flowers shows unusual 
qualities. Unquestionably the finest pink-and- 
white Decorative Dahlia to date. $1.00 each. 
FRANK A. WALKER. Alexander’s New Deco¬ 
rative Seedling. Expressly named for Mr. Frank 
A. Walker, of Stoneham, Mass., in compliment 
to his intense love of Dahlias. A charming 
shade of deep lavender-pink. For garden deco¬ 
ration or for cut flowers this variety is excep¬ 
tionally good, having long stems and producing 
flowers in great abundance. This Dahlia should 
be m every garden. 75 cents each, 
c? GOODRICH. Gigantic New Decorative 
Seedling. For all purposes, without exception, 
this is the best Decorative we have had the 
pleasure of introducing. It has size and beauty, 
exceptionally long stems and is free flowering. 
The coloring is entirely new and wins instant 
favor. A beautiful salmon-pink, each petal 
effectively tipped primrose-yellow. The nearest 
to an ideal Dahlia we have been able to intro¬ 
duce. 50 cents each. 
MINA BURGLE. (See illustration on page 1). A 
seedling named and originated by Mr. Burgle, a 
California Dahlia lover. This new introduction 
is one of the finest varieties to date—a cham¬ 
pion variety, producing flowers of gigantic size 
and remarkable beauty; the best in existence. 
Color, a glowing and most brilliant scarlet. The 
flowers are of perfect Decorative type and are 
borne upon long, wiry stems well above the foli¬ 
age. Attracts universal attention. 50 cts. each. 
Stated Canada iS fo C r $“ 00 !" ° f SUPerb DecoratiTe Dahlias, prepaid, to any part of the United 
BREEZE LAWN. A grand variety of great prom¬ 
ise. A perfect exhibition flower, measuring 8 
inches and over when properly grown. Color, a 
vivid, fiery vermilion ; splendid form, full center 
and perfect habit; free flowering. $1.50 each. 
LYDIA VANCE. A new Decorative variety of per¬ 
fect habit and a remarkable blending of colors 
—white daintily overlaid lavender-pink. One of 
the finest. $1.00 each. 
MR. TYNDALL. Gigantic new Decorative Dahlia 
possessing a novel combination of colors—orange 
yellow heavily shaded bronze. Flowers produced 
with freedom; stiff, wiry stems. $1.00 each. 
SALEM. New Decorative Dahlia with fern-like 
forage and a very odd color combination—brick- 
red, edged and shaded orange-yellow or amber 
50 cents each. 
TENOR ALVAREZ. . Gigantic New French Deco¬ 
rative Dahlia. This new variety is one of the 
largest and finest Decorative Dahlias to my 
knowledge. The flowers are produced upon long, 
wiry stems, well above the foliage, which is 
remarkable for a Dahlia so large. The color 
combination is very pleasing and attractive but 
difficult to describe—violet-red very heavily 
striped and splashed lilac and white. $1.00 each.
