New Peony-Flowered Dahlias 
for 1916 
Never before has a new type of flower been re¬ 
ceived with so much popular acclaim as has been 
accorded the Peony-flowered Dahlia. This new 
type was originated only thirteen years ago in 
Holland and is today the Dahlia of the future be¬ 
cause of its grace and beauty, remarkable free¬ 
dom to flower and length of stems, all of which 
combine to make it an ideal garden variety. 
I will send this Collection of Seven New Peony- 
flowered Dahlias, prepaid, to any part of North 
America, for $5.00. 
Alice Evelyn. New Peony-flowered Dahlia. (See 
illustration page 22.) This new creation is an 
ideal garden Dahlia, a free-flowering, long 
stemmed variety, worthy of a prominent place 
in your garden. It is a general favorite, prized 
by all; the plants being literally covered with 
flowers. The coloring is most exquisite, a beau¬ 
tiful golden-yellow, delicately overlaid salmon- 
pink. The blossoms are of perfect Peony-flow¬ 
ered type, and of large size. A variety I can
