These Dahlias, of recent introduction, are, in our esti¬ 
mation, the finest in cultivation. 
Livonia—Mower stems long, and the'color of the large per¬ 
fect blossoms is a soft, sweet, sea-shell pink, a color as 
rare as it is beautiful. In our opinion the most beautiful 
Dahlia in cultivation. Mowers perfect and freely pro¬ 
duced, 
Clifford W. Bruton— The finest pure yellow decorative 
Dahlia. Of immense size, 5 to 6 inches in diameter; of 
full Chryartthemum form, and full to the center. A strong 
vigorous grower, and an extremely profuse bloomer to 
have so large a flower. 
Zulu— The black Dahlia. A large double flower of fine form 
and jet black color. A great novelty. 
Floral Park Jewel —Flowers of many colors, from 
deep maroon to blush white, including beautiful 
spotted and variegated forms, are borne in great 
profusion on the same plant at the same time. 
In fact a plant will hardly ever produce.two flow¬ 
ers alike. Blush-white, crimson-maroon, white 
suffused with maroon, maroon suffused with 
white, crimson-red, purple spotted, marked or 
marbled white. Spotted, marbled and striped with 
maroon, pink or crimson, or several colors suf¬ 
fused in an odd and irregular way. The exceed¬ 
ing beauty of a plant loaded with flowers and each 
one of a different color can be better imagined 
than described. The blossoms are perfectly 
double, large and of perfect shape, and borne by 
the hundred. 
Wymphcea— Like a lovely pink Water Lily. Extreme¬ 
ly beautiful and novel. It is a great and per 1 
sistent bloomer all through the season, and its 
charming Water Lily-like blossoms are grand. 
Cameliaflora— Plant dwarf and stout. Flowers very 
large, perfect in shape and pure snow white, 
ftftary D. Hal lock— Extra fine yellow.

center. Of perfect form and exquisite quality,

dazzling red.

margined with jet black. Of beautiful form and 
one of the most effective.
