be recommended as first-class.

ered with white flowers of perfect form. 
Gettysburg. Deep, glowing scarlet. Very large and bold. 
Grand Duke Alexis. A magnificent flower of large size and distinctly unique 
form, as the petals are rolled up so that the edges overlap each other. 
Color is a pure white, distinctly tinged pinkish-lavender. Fine form. 
Very free. 
Himmlische. This variety was considered in Germany as one of the finest 
yet out, as the color is a bluish-lavender. 
Jack Rose. This is an ideal comparison to the celebrated Jack Rose. In 
form resembles the rose, and in color identical. Was much admired in 
our field the past season. Very free. Fine for decorative work. 
Jeanne Charmet. One of the most beautiful dahlias ever produced. The 
flowers measure from seven to ten inches in diameter. The exquisite 
colors are needed very much. They are pink-lilac at the edges, pure 
white towards the center, and a tinge of light yellow at the margins. 
Stems 18 to 24 inches long. Fine form. 
Juno. Deep crimson striped maroon. Very large. Fine form. 
L. Mandarin. This is a very attractive variety, with a light cream center, 
shaded to a yellow, tipped deep pink, and each petal is then striped 
with crimson, making it very showy. 
Les Alliees. Pinkish-white, striped rose and purple. Very pretty. The 
petals are quite broad. 
Mrs. Hartong. Deep orange, tipped pink. Large, bold flower of fine form. 
Minos. This is one of the finest dahlias in this set. The flowers are very 
large, borne on long, graceful stems. The color is intense velvety ma¬ 
roon, almost black. Fine for all uses. 
Mrs. Winters. Pure snow white. This is without doubt the best pure white 
decorative dahlia yet out. Extra fine for decorative purposes. Very 
large and showy. 
Mme. Van Den Dael. A grand decorative variety, of good size, white, deeply 
edged lively pink. Later in the season the flowers are much lighter. 
Fine for florists. 
Perle de la tete D’or. One of the best, white decorative, faintly veined lav¬ 
ender, resembling a paeony. Is much admired. Strong grower. Quite 
free. 
Papa Treyve. Deep orange-red, tinted scarlet. Quite bold. Good form. 
Source de Feu. Deep orange, splashed and streaked with vermilion. Stands 
well above the foliage. Good size. A very dazzling variety. 
Souvenir de Gustave Douzon. This variety is a good comparison to the 
“Sunflower.” It is the largest dahlia yet out. The color is a pleasing 
shade of orange-red. Very bold and free. Good stems. Strong grower.
