French specialists have given us the beautiful improved Collarette Dahlia, an entirely new type of 
Dahlia; all of which have wonderful flowers and delightful color combinations. These were shown 
extensively last year at the European Dahlia Shows, where they met with great favor, and we feel 
confident that they will meet with the same approval here. 
The flowers are single, when an additional row of short petals around the disc, which form a frill 
or collar, usually of a different color from the rest of the flower. 
This remarkable collection of 21 Novelty Collarette Dahlias, prepaid to any part of North 
America for $8.00.
