with the same name; and an ideal comparison 
to the celebrated “Jack Rose,” resembling in 
both color and beauty. This variety is exceed¬ 
ingly free, carrying its fairly large flowers on 
very erect stems in greatest abundance; flowers 
early, and during the hot weather the color is 
likely to burn somewhat. 20 cents each. 
of light yellow at the margins. At first sight

JEANNE CHARMET. One of the most beautiful 
Dahlias ever produced. A seedling from “Mme. 
Van den Deal,” the flowers measuring from 
seven to ten inches in diameter, and are borne 
on stiff, wiry stems, frequently eighteen to 
twenty-four inches long. In color, it is a most 
exquisite shade of lilac-pink, daintily shading 
to pure white towards the center, with a tinge 
LE GRAND MANITOU. This wonderful new 
Dahlia is the largest and grandest Fancy Dec¬ 
orative Dahlia in existence. It is a most sensa¬ 
tional variety, one of the showiest and most 
attractive to date. The flowers are renowned 
for their excellent qualities, being beautiful in 
color, perfect in form, grand in appearance, 
and of immense size. The color of this superb 
variety is pure white artistically 
striped, splashed and blotched 
deep violet-purple. The plants 
occasionally bear a solid purple- 
colored flower. The effect of 
these phenomenal flowers is most 
pleasing, giving this variety a 
supreme place in this class. See 
illustration page 32. 35c each. 
Leo XIII. The habit of the plant 
is all that can be desired; pro¬ 
ducing large flowers, upon splen¬ 
did stems, well above the foliage.

yellow. $1.00 each.

cinating shade of heliotrope, shad¬ 
ed white. 25 cents each.

splashed and blotched pure white. 
A variegated Dahlia, with un¬ 
usually peculiar markings. The 
center of some blossoms are pure 
white, others are half ruby-red 
and half white, while most are 
entirely distinct, it being very 
seldom that two flowers appear 
alike on the same plant, they 
being any combination of ruby- 
red and white; generally blotched 
instead of striped. 10 cents each. 
Manitoii. Immense flowers, of an 
exquisite amber-bronze. 35c each. 
Mme. A. Lumiere. An exception¬ 
ally attractive variety; pure white, 
with violet-red tips. The plants 
are of remarkably good habit, 
producing the blossoms upon very 
long, stiff stems, well above the 
foliage. This variety we can rec¬ 
ommend as one of the most satis¬ 
factory. 25 cents each.

from “Mme. Van den Deal;” flow¬ 
ers are much larger, florets of 
enormous width. Glistening white, 
daintily overlaid pinkish-lavender.

MME. VAN DEN DAELE. A grand 
Dahlia of highest Decorative type. 
Flowers large, of extra fine form, 
and produced upon exceptionally 
good stems, well above the foliage.

surpassed. The color, white, 
deeply edged live silvery-pink. A 
Dahlia which bears my highest 
recommendations. 25 cents each.
