The Fragrant 
Peony-Flowered Dahlia 
These Five Won¬ 
ders are all of true 
Peony-flowered type, 
possessing grace, 
simplicity and beau¬ 
ty to make their 
form liked; the 
flowers appear ex¬ 
ceedingly early and 
blossom continually 
in a miraculous pro¬ 
fusion. Their flow¬ 
ers are borne on 
exceedingly long 
stems well above 
the foliage, making 
them ideal for cut¬ 
ting. For garden 
and decorative pur¬ 
poses nothing can 
excel them. 
Their colors are rich, refined and delicate, and 
as a decorative scheme for the garden or house 
they are excellent. The beauty of these flowers 
can only be appreciated when seen, and may be 
easily classed with orchids for their fantastic 
shapes and colors. The artistic flowers are best 
compared to the semi-double Peonies in general 
form. The flowers are semi-double, and show 
that beautiful golden yellow center, the wonderful 
quality which makes the Single Dahlia so grace¬ 
ful and popular. The Peony-flowered Dahlia has 
the broad, flat and quite irregular form of petals 
of the Decorative combined with the grace and 
beauty of the Single. 
These Five Wonders have a very pleasing and 
agreeable odor that can be easily detected. The 
fragrance being especially prominent when the 
gems are in full bloom. This wonderful quality, 
combined with their beautiful color, charming 
golden yellow center, and graceful appearance, 
completes an ideal Garden Dahlia.
