There is a great difference between the dahlia our father used to know and 
the modern dahlias. 
LINCOLN G. DICKEY (S. C.)—A good sized dahlia on a fine stem, early and 
free bloomer; color, primrose yellow with a decided rose suffusion. A 
medium sized plant and has a very good growing habit. Tubers, $1.00 
MARY ELLEN (I. D.)—Another seedling of Mrs. I. De Yer Warner, with the 
same habits of growth, but the blooms of this one are not only much larger 
but also have a greater depth. Color is a lavender pink with considerably 
more pink than lavender. The flowers are held erect on the best of stems, 
well above the robust and prolific flowering bush. An ideal dahlia in every 
way, as it has the best of keeping qualities and is ideal for the table or 
exhibition. Tubers, $1.75 
MARY GERALDINE (F. D.)-—An unusual and beautiful dahlia. The color of 
which is Rose Red. All the petals tipped white, 9 inch flower on very good 
stem, a very clean grower and free bloomer. This is one dahlia, for her 
unusual beauty should be in every garden, scored 83 at Storr’s trial ground. 
One of the ceatral attractions, at The Botanical Gardens, Bronx, New 
York, and in the popularity contest held there, this last October, this 
dahlia received quite a number of votes. I recommend this one very 
highly. Tubers, $3.50 
MISS DELAWARE (F. D.)-—The color is an unusual clear rose pink through¬ 
out. The blossoms are not only large but also of great depth and are held 
erect on strong, stiff stems, well above the foliage, which is large and 
insect resistant, and the plant is ideal in every way. Tubers, $1.50 
MONMOUTH CHAMPION (I. D.)—The color of this marvelous dahlia is a 
bright xanthine orange, the blooms which are of very large size, over 
13 inches in width, are borne in great profusion on cane stiff stems, well 
above the foliage, of an ideal growing plant that no insects will go near 
and one that seems to be immune from disease. The plant is a strong, 
vigorous grower with wide spreading habits and is always covered with 
blooms. A wonderful keeper when cut. Tubers, $1.00 
MONMOUTH GENERAL (I. D.)—The color of this unusual dahlia and as near 
as it could be described it is a bright henna, somewhat the same tone as 
F. W. Fellows. It is a large, full-petalled flower of great beauty. The 
long, wavy petals darken at the center to a rich terra cotta. It is a real 
handsome flower. Tubers, $5.00 
MRS. ALFRED B. SEAL (I. D.)—The color of this magnificent dahlia is a pure 
rich glowing rose, without a trace of any other color and can very easily 
be grown to over 10 inches in width and 5 inches in depth. A very free, 
early and prolific bloomer that has all the habits a good dahlia should have. 
The stems that hold the huge flowers are not only long but strong and stiff, 
and the plant a tall, robust grower, always in bloom. Tubers, $.75 
MRS. A. F. VON I)ER POEL (I. D.)—Color a dark maroon, the petals of which 
have a slight but graceful waving effect, as well as being heavy and thick 
with a velvety texture. The flowers are held facing up, high above the tall 
growing bush on cane-like stems that will break before they will bend. 
Blooms will last a long time when cut, as the blooms have form, substance 
and everything that goes to make an ideal flower. Tubers, $1.50 
MRS. HENRY E. FOLEY (F. D.)—A rather unique color combination. The 
ground color being white, shaded and suffused magenta. The flowers can 
easily be grown to 10 inches in width and 5 inches in depth, are of good 
form and substance, are held facing sideways on cane-like stems, "well 
above the stocky and robust growing bush, with widespreading habits, 
with heavy leathery insect resistant foliage. Tubers, $1.00
