F. Grinstead. This wonderful Fancy Decorative 
Dahlia possesses exceptional qualities. Princi¬ 
pally, it is one of the most free-flowering; as a 
cut-flower variety it has no peer, having beauti¬ 
ful long, straight, upright stems ; the flowers are 
of perfect Decorative type, and in color a most 
artistic combination. Deep golden-yellow, dis¬ 
tinctly striped and splashed a clear and effect¬ 
ive crimson-scarlet. 35 cents each. 
Freedom. One of my 1913 Seedling Decorative 
Dahlias, and a variety which will give perfect 
satisfaction. The flowers are a beautiful deep 
crimson color, and are produced with such ease 
and freedom that we chose “Freedom’' as the 
most appropriate name. One of the earliest 
flowering. 25 cents each. 
Frederick Spitted. Vermilion-scarlet, often tipped 
white. 25 cents each. 
Gorgeous. Beautiful crimson-scarlet. Very desir¬ 
able. 20 cents each. 
Gigantea. Its name suggests the size; truly 
gigantic and massive in form; the individual 
petals are short, and it requires many to form 
such a monstrous flower; color, a soft sulphur- 
yellow. 35 cents each. 
Henry Patrick. A pure white. 10 cents each. 
Himmlische. This variety is considered in Ger¬ 
many as one of the finest; the color is a bluish- 
lavender. Very desirable as a novelty. 20 cents 
each. 
Jack Rose. The identical shade of the rose with 
the same name; and an ideal comparison to the 
celebrated “Jack Rose,’’ resembling in both 
color and beauty. This variety is exceedingly 
free, carrying its fairly large flowers on very 
erect stems in greatest abundance; flowers early, 
and during the hot weather the color is likely to 
burn somewhat. 20 cents each. 
Jeanne Charmet. One of the most beautiful 
Dahlias ever produced. A seedling from “Mme. 
Van den Deal,” the flowers measuring from seven 
to ten inches in diameter, and are borne on 
stiff, wiry stems, frequently eighteen to twenty- 
four inches long. In color it is a most exquisite 
shade of lilac-pink, daintily shading to pure 
white towards the enter, with a tinge of light 
yellow at the margins. At first sight this beauti¬ 
ful flower appears to be a charming lavender- 
pink. A model of perfection. 25 cents each.

beautiful salmon-red. 35 cents each.

Le Grand Manitou. This wonderful new Dahlia 
is the largest and grandest Fancy Decorative 
Dahlia in existence. It is a most sensational va¬ 
riety, one of the showiest and most attractive 
to date. The flowers are renowned for their ex¬ 
cellent qualities, being beautiful in color, per¬ 
fect in form, grand in appearance, and of im¬ 
mense size. The color of this superb variety is 
pure white artistically striped, splashed and 
blotched deep violet-purple. The plants occa¬ 
sionally bear a solid purple-colored flower. The

ing, giving this variety a supreme place in this

blotched pure white. A variegated Dahlia, with 
unusually peculiar markings. The center of 
some blossoms are pure white, others are 
half ruby-red and half white, while most

that two flowers appear alike on the same 
plant, they being any combination of ruby- 
red and white; generally blotched instead of 
striped. 10 cents each.

amber-bronze. 25 cents each.

ive variety ; pure white, with violet-red tips.

most satisfactory. 25 cents each.

est Decorative type. Flowers large, of ex¬ 
tra fine form, and produced upon excep¬ 
tionally good stems, well above the foliage.

pink. A Dahlia which bears my highest 
recommendations. 20 cents each.

riety, admired by all who like striped
