P* Janker—-Exactly like Belle of Springfield, except 
color, which is buff yellow. Lovely. 
Liyonia—Much like M. Bruant, except the flower 
stems are much longer, and the color of the 
large perfect blossoms is a soft,-sweet, sea-shell 
Pink, a color as rare as it is beautiful. 
"**■ Bruant—Flower of gigantic size, petals wide, shape 
perfect, double to the very center, and a great 
bloomer. Color, pure white, beautiful beyond 
description. 
Jamaica—An enormous flower, like M. Bruant, of a 
bright magenta-red color. One of the very largest 
and best. 
Double Floret—A grand Dahlia which may be said to 
be a double double, as it has two florets in place of 
one, one snugly rolled inside the other. The flower 
is therefore more perfectly double than any other, 
and is a great beauty. Color, rosy scarlet. 
Cactus—A fine variety of the Cactus type. 
Like a lovely pink Water Lily. Extreme!
