General List of Duplex Dahlias 
This collection of 10 Duplex Dahlias for $5.00 prepaid. 
BETTY WALKER. (Alexander.) New Duplex 
Seedling. One of the most exquisite shades I have 
seen; flowers are produced in great abundance on 
long stems. White, daintily overlaid a beautiful 
rhodamine purple; the general impression being rose 
and white. Mrs. Frank A. Walker of Stoneham, 
Mass., admired this new seedling, when it first 
blossomed, and I am pleased to name it for her. 
50 ecents ach. 
DAY STAR. A very free-flowering pure white 
variety, that is most appropriately named, being 
star shaped, each petal being pointed at the end. 
50 cents each. 
MRS. F. H. SWEETLAND. (Alexander.) New 
Duplex Seedling. A very rich, beautiful bright 
lemon-yellow; reverse of petals overlaid begonia 
red. The plants are of exceptionally good habit, 
being strong and robust, and producing their flowers 
in great abundance, upon good long stems. I can 
recommend this variety as extra fine for garden 
purposes, it is so free-flowering. The formation of 
the flower is quite original, with two to three rows 
of petals. Named expressly for and with per¬ 
mission of Mrs. F. H. Sweetland of Sea View, Mass., 
in recognition of her great love for flowers. $1.00 
each. 
Phenomene—Duplex Dahlia. 25 cents each. 
Two-thirds actual size. See description below. 
FRIGOLIA. (Forbes & Keith.) While not a par¬ 
ticularly large flower, on accouut of its very striking 
appearance it is very effective in the garden. It 
comes quite true to its color, a blood-red petal with 
a white tip. Fine as a cut flower. Free-flowering. 
50 cents each. 
IMPROVED GERMANIA. (Alexander.) New 
Duplex Seedling. See illustration page 22. A rich 
deep scarlet-red, very brilliant and showy. Plants 
grow dwarf and bushy, making ideal specimens; and 
producing their blossoms early and abundantly. 
Highly recommended. 75 cents each. 
MARY HOUGHTON. (Alexander.) New Fra¬ 
grant Duplex Dahlia. This introduction has a 
delicate but well defined pond-lily fragrance. The 
petals are of the Cactus-Peony type, being long, nar¬ 
row and pointed at the tips. The plants are of 
excellent habit and bloom freely. The color is a 
light marrow-purple with a ring of waxy cadmium- 
yellow around the golden-yellow centre, the reverse 
of petals being a beautiful rhodamine-purple. A 
most remarkable novelty. 75 cents each. 
OSCEOLA. (Alexander.) New Seedling. The 
plants are tall and sturdy growers, producing their 
blossoms on long stems. In color, a bright carmine, 
with a ring of golden-yellow at the center. 25 cents 
each. 
PHENOMENE. (See above illustration.) Beautiful 
French Duplex Dahlia. A very effective and 
novel variety, having beautiful Cactus-shaped florets. 
The color is an exquisite salmon shade, suffused light 
amber. 25 cents each. 
SATUCKET. (Alexander.) Cactus-shaped petals of 
enormous length, curving inward at the tips. In 
color, the flowers are scarlet, veined golden-yellow 
25 cents each. 
YELLOW TRANSPARENT. (Hornsveld.) New 
Holland Importation. For hedges or bedding this 
is the finest Dahlia to my knowledge, it being a mass 
of flowers from early summer until late fall. The 
plants are dwarf, and very well branched, giving a 
continuous profusion of flowers. Some are semi- 
double, others almost single, and of a most exquisite 
shade of lemon-yellow. 25 cents each.
