Dahlia Katharine Doer 
The following description of this famous variety was 
taken from the “American Florist” :— 
“This new Dahlia, which originated in Newport, R. I., is remark¬ 
able, not only for its size and beautiful form, but also for its intense 
brilliant crimson-red color, which makes it very acceptable for vases 
as well as for general decorations. I am indebted to John G. 
Gardner for the following historical particulars; Mr. Gardner has 
grown it for two seasons and thinks it is the finest of its color: 
The variety was raised from seed by William Allen, gardener to W. 
R. Travers, Newport, R. I. It was named for Miss Katharine Duer, 
whose mother was a daughter of W. R. Travers. Miss Duer 
married Clarence Mackay. The Dahlia is of the decorative type, 
six to ei^ht feet high, long stems; has not been registered, but has 
taken prizes for table decorations and fancy baskets at the Newport 
Horticultural Society’s shows, also at the Newport Casino show. 
The past two years it has been in great demand at Newport for 
table decorations and hunt dinners. Mr. Gardner finds the society 
people in his neighborhood quite keen after the cut blooms for 
dinners and decorations during the flowering season.”

best be described as an immense-flowered “Nymphaea” Dahlia,

branching grower and profuse bloomer, making a beautiful 
plant. (See illustration.) Strong plants, ea. 10c., doz. $1.00, 
100 $7.50; field roots, ea. 25c., doz. $2.50, 100 $20.00.

Nurseries and Trial Grounds—Sparkill, Rockland Co., New York 
Kaiserin Augusta Victoria (Cactus) 
This variety, of foreign origin, was shown for the first time 
last summer at the American Institute Fall Flower Show and 
attracted considerable attention. It is a most profuse bloomer, 
flowers pure white and, having long stems, is fine for cutting. 
This is a variety, in our opinion, that has come to stay.
