THE MOST POPULAR COLOSSAL DAHLIAS 
—Continued. 
Pythias. A seedling from the famous “Grand 
Duke Alexis.” The petals are cup-shaped and 
quilled in the center similar to the parent 
variety. The color is pure white, daintily 
overlaid rose-lilac, deepening to lavender- 
purple in the center. This beautiful combi¬ 
nation gives it the appearance of a deep laven¬ 
der with white tips. 50 cents each. 
REGGIE. A Colossal Dahlia, of beautiful 
cherry-red color. A variety that will give the 
very best of satisfaction, producing flowers 
upon long stems, well above the foliage. 20 
cents each. 
SANTA CRUZ. A remarkably handsome va¬ 
riety, of perfect form; the coloring of this 
variety is exceedingly wonderful; an exquisite 
deep lemon yellow artistically overlaid and 
blending a novel shade of salmon-pink. Ex¬ 
ceptionally large and free-flowering. The 
plants are strong and robust, producing their 
gigantic flowers upon long stems, well above 
the foliage. 75 cents each. 
SURPASSE COLOSSE. Another Colossal va¬ 
riety ; a seedling from “Le Colosse,” the form 
of the flower being very similar, the petals 
being more flat and pointed. The color is a 
much deeper, and a more dazzling shade, a 
deep scarlet crimson. 25 cents each. 
YILLE DE LYON. Similar in form and color 
to “Mrs. Roosevelt.” Very large flowers, of 
a most exquisite color blending, white flushed 
with pink ; quilled petals. 35 cents each. 
W. W. RAWSON. The popularity which this 
novelty has acquired in the short time it has 
been on the market, speaks for itself for the 
superior feature of this flower. The petals 
towards the center are quilled similar to the 
“Grand Duke Alexis;” toward the outer part 
they are more open and flat. The color is 
pure white, overlaid with amethyst-blue. This 
wonderful combination gives it the appear¬ 
ance of a delicate lavender. The flowers 
measure from 7 to 9 inches in diameter. 35
