AURORE. New Holland Peony-flowered Dahlia. 
In this new importation I have secured the finest 
in this class in the autumn tints. The flowers are of 
very large size, produced on long stiff stems, well 
above the foliage. In color, a very deep rich orange, 
a shade that attracted considerable attention at the 
Fall exhibitions. The plants are tall and sturdy, 
producing their blossoms abundantly. $1.00 each. 
ALTA POWELL. Alexander’s New Peony-flowered 
Seedling. A very bright lemon-yellow, overlaid 
blending to and edged carmine red. The plants are 
very tall and sturdy, producing their flowers on long 
stiff stems, well above the foliage. This new seed¬ 
ling is one of the most free-flowering varieties I have 
seen, making it a very desirable garden variety. 
Named for Miss Alta Powell of New Haven, Conn. 
$1.00 each. 
BERTHA PAULDING. (Alexander.) A very strik¬ 
ing variety for the garden, growing five feet and over 
in height. The plant is strong and sturdy, pro¬ 
ducing a large number of blooms on long stems. The 
flowers are of an exquisite, deep, rose-pink, of good 
depth and with an open center. Altogether one of 
the best pinks of its type. Price, $2.00 each. 
BESSIE SEABURY. Alexander’s New Peony- 
flowered Seedling. White very daintily overlaid 
a delicate mallow pink. An exceptionally free-flower¬ 
ing variety, of good habit, that produces its blossoms 
on good long stems. Named for and by permission of 
Mrs. William T. Seabury, North Weymouth, Mass., 
a great admirer of beautiful flowers. $1.00 each. 
CALIFORNIA (Hornsveld). Introduced from Hol¬ 
land as a Peony-flowe* ed Dahlia, but with us, it has 
characteristics of both the Decorative and Peony- 
flowered types. The early flowers are full to the 
center, with broad petals that are somewhat pointed 
and long, like the true-Decorative. As the season 
advances, the flowers show that beautiful golden- 
yellow center, so characteristic of the Peony-flowered 
type. In color, it is a beautiful clear rich deep yel¬ 
low, which makes it without exception one of the very 
finest yellow Dahlias to date. The blossoms are 
large, and produced upon good long stiff stems. 
Very free-flowering. $1.00 each. 
CARDINAL (Hornsveld) New Holland Peony- 
flowered Dahlia. A very large flower that early in 
the season comes nearly full to the centre, and of a 
gorgeous maroon-purple. The stems are unusually 
good, being long and very strong, producing the 
flowers well above the foliage. The best of this color 
to my knowledge. 75 cents each. 
CREATION (Hornsveld) Holland Peony-flowered 
Dahlia. This new variety has a very pleasing and 
unique shade, one not common in Dahlias; a beauti¬ 
ful rose-red, that wins instant favor. Flowers of 
medium size and produced freely upon long stems. 
Good cut-flower sort. 50 cents each. 
GERTRUDE BURBANK. Alexander's New Peony 
flowered Seedling. Named expressly for Mrs. 
Gertrude Burbank of Waco, Texas, who admired 
this new creation when she visited my gardens, and 
I take pleasure in naming it for her. The flowers 
are very large, and of a brilliant scarlet-red. Petals 
are perfectly original, being long and Cactus-like. 
This creation is a seedling from the popular variety 
“Geisha.” The plants are very tall, producing 
their flowers upon long stems. 75 cents each. 
GRACE KIRSCHNER. Alexander’s New Peony- 
flowered Seedling. White daintily overlaid cameo- 
pink.) Its blossoms are very large, and exceptionally
