New Race of Dwarf Dahlias 
GRACEFUL BEDDING 
This valuable new race is a very precocious one, the plants bloom¬ 
ing within three to three and one-half months from the time of sowing 
seed. They are extremely free flowering and embrace a most charming 
and very wide color-range; indeed, no two plants are exactly alike. 
In the main, their form is semi-double. They may be planted as 
closely as 18 to 20 inches apart, rarely exceed 24 inches in height, 
and require no stakes. Though primarily intended for bedding 
purposes, they make very fine cut-flowers. Given the same treatment, 
they are more easy to raise from seed than asters or stocks, and the 
flowering period is very lengthy—from June to the first severe frost. 
Dahlias are now equal to the popular half-hardy annuals in respect 
to usefulness, ease of culture, and effectiveness. Mixed, pkt. 25 cts., 
l^oz. $1, t/ 40 z. $1.50, oz. $5. 
Orchid-flowered Dahlia, Starfish 
The florets of this single-flowered Dahlia are crimped and twist¬ 
ed, giving a star-like effect. These flowers, on long stems, are 
excellent for cut bloom because of their 
unusual and captivating shape. All colors 
are represented in these hybrids, mostly two 
shades in the one flower. Seed may be sown 
in March under glass, and by June the plants 
will be in blossom; or the seed may be sown 
in the open after mid-May, and they will be 
in bloom by August. Pkt. 35 cts., 3 pkts. $1. 
Digitalis, Giant Shirley 
The very vigorous plants attain the height 
5 to 7 feet, with spikes of bloom ranging in 
color from the purest white to dark rose, 
handsomely spotted and blotched with 
crimson, maroon, and chocolate. This is 
certain to supersede all other strains of Fo.x- 
gloves. Seed sown this spring should produce 
plants which, if properly grown outdoors 
this summer and placed in their permanent 
positions before autumn, will make a glori¬ 
ous show next season. Pkt. 15 cts., V 4 OZ.
