The Fragrant Peony-Flowered Dahlia. 
As a result of many thoughtful experi¬ 
ments and careful hybridization we are 
rewarded wdth the Fragrant Dahlia. The 
honor of introducing the first collection of 
Fragrant Dahlias in the World is bestowed 
upon us; we are pleased with our progress, 
and are positive we w’ill continue having the 
“Good Luck.” 
It is a very pleasing and agreeable odor 
and can be compared to that of the rose. 
Their fragrance being exceedingly promi¬ 
nent, especially w'hen the gems are in full 
bloom. This wonderful quality, combined 
with their beautiful color, charming golden 
yellow center, and graceful appearance, com¬ 
pletes an ideal Garden Dahlia. 
These Five Wonders are all of true Peony- 
flowered type, possessing grace, simplicity 
and beauty to make their form liked; the 
flowers appear exceedingly early and blossom 
continually in a miraculous profusion. Their 
flowers are borne on exceedingly long stems 
well above the foliage, making them ideal for 
cutting. For garden and decorative pur- 
P"ses nothing can excel them. 
Their colors are rich, refined and delicate, 
and a*s a decorative scheme for the garden 
or house they are excellent. The beauty of 
these flow*ers can only be appreciated when 
seen, and may be easily classed with orchids 
for their fantastic shapes and colors. The ar¬ 
tistic flowers are best compared to the semi¬ 
double Peonies in general form. The flow¬ 
ers are semi-double, and show that beautiful 
golden yellow center, the wonderful quality 
which makes the Single Dahlia so graceful 
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.
