Collarette Dahlias 
French specialists have given us the beautiful improved 
Collarette Dahlia, an entirely new type of Dahlia, all of which 
have wonderful flowers and delightful 
color combinations. These have been 
shown extensively the last few years at 
the European Dahlia Shows, where they 
met with great favor, and we feel con¬ 
fident that they will meet with the same 
approval here. 
The flowers are single, with an addi¬ 
tional row of short petals around the 
disc, which form a frill or collar, usually 
of a different color from the rest of the 
flower. 
This remarkable collection of 21 Nov¬ 
elty Collarette Dahlias, prepaid for $7.00.

Alexander’s Wonderful New Collarette 
Introduction. This phenomenal cre¬ 
ation is the largest Collarette Dahlia 
in existence—a perfect wonder, especi¬ 
ally distinguished for its perfection and 
unsurpassing qualities. The flower is 
a clear, rich velvety maroon; collarette, 
a beautiful snowy white, very daintily 
overlaid with a delicate shade of pinkish crimson. 
The remarkable contrast of the above combination of 
color, together with its ideal form and profusion of 
flowers, secures for this variety a supreme place 
in the Dahlia world. 35 cents each.
