East Bridgewater Dahlia Cardens J. K. Alexander , East Bridgewater , Massachusetts 
The Fragrant 
As a result of 
many thoughtful 
experiments and 
careful hybridiz¬ 
ation we are re¬ 
warded with the 
Fragrant Dahlia. 
The honor of in¬ 
troducing the 
first collection of 
Fragrant Dahlias 
in the world is 
bestowed upon 
us; we are pleas¬ 
ed with our pro¬ 
gress, and are 
positive we will 
continue having 
the “Good Luck.” 
It is a very 
pleasing and 
agreeable odor and can be easily detected, 
fragrance being exceedingly prominent, especially 
when the gems are in full bloom. This wonderful 
quality, combined with their beautiful color, 
charming golden yellow center, and graceful ap¬ 
pearance, completes 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 purposes nothing can excel them. 
Their colors are rich, refined and delicate, and 
as a decorative scheme for the garden or house 
they are excellent. The beauty of these flowers 
can only be appreciated when seen, and may be 
easily classed with orchids for their fantastic 
shapes and colors. The artistic flowers are best 
compared to the semi-double Peonies in general 
form. The flowers are semi-double, and show 
that beautiful golden yellow center, the wonderful 
quality which makes the Single Dahlia so grace¬ 
ful 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.

Baron G. de Grancy. .New Fragrant Peony-

White Peony-flowered Dahlia in existence, and 
a beauty in every sense of the word. 25 cents

Dahlia. This most fascinating variety appeals 
to every flower-lover as a true sensation. The 
coloring is exquisite, being a delightful clear 
soft pink; a most pleasing flower whose light 
rosy tint forms a perfect contrast with the 
deep green foliage. Its gems are of wonder¬

La Rainte, Up-to-Date New Fragrant Peony- 
flowered Novelty. This superb New Peony- 
flowered Dahlia possesses a most charming in¬ 
dividuality in beauty and grace which is almost 
indescribable and incomparable. The color, a 
charming deep lavender-pink with an exquisite 
golden yellow center, combines to make the 
flowers most beautiful. The flowers are true 
Peony type, but in form perfectly original; its 
long, graceful petals being beautifully curved 
and twisted, giving the whole a phenomenal, or 
almost unique, appearance. The fragrance of 
this variety is remarkably prominent and en¬ 
courages us to imagine a long list of Fragrant 
Dahlias in the near future. An ideal variety 
that bears our highest recommendation. 25 
cents each, $2.50 per dozen.

exceedingly fashionable. 25 cents each, $2.50 
per dozen.
