Small-Flowered Holland 
Decorative Types 
These varieties might be regarded as a new class in decorative Dahlias. While more or less miniature or middle- 
size, the blossoms attain a diameter of 4 to 5 inches when grown under natural conditions and not subjected to dis¬ 
budding. For cut-flower purposes they are of great value. Their keeping qualities are remarkable and the flowers 
come far above the foliage on thin, wiry stems. There is a grace and delicacy about this intermediate-size class of 
decorative Dahlia which appeals to everyone. 
Artis. Rich shade of fiery-orange and a splendid 
medium-sized decorative. A gem for cut-flower work, 
having the best of stems. Four feet tall. 
Clown. One of the daintiest of small-flowered 
decoratives. The blossoms, averaging 3 to 4 inches 
across, have a ground color of pure vermilion-red and 
each petal is tipped pure white. A free bloomer and 
attractive for cutting purposes. 
Elta. Delightful soft salmon-pink in a lovely, com¬ 
pact flower held rigidly erect on strong, wiry stems. A 
choice variety in every way.

of salmon on a yellow ground. Grows about 5 feet tall 
and makes a glorious display the season through. 
Frau Lotte Heitmann. A pure, soft shade of 
salmon-rose, this marvelous blend resulting from bright 
pink on a salmon ground. The plant is of vigorous, 
compact growth, about medium tall, and an early 
bloomer.

and decided color. Blossoms of model form, averaging 
about 5 inches in diameter, with perfect stems. Splendid 
cut-flower subjects.

luminous scarlet, the blossoms forming an extra¬ 
Zinnia Flowered Dahlia 
Apoldro. An enchanting type which ori¬ 
ginated in Holland and has been relatively 
referred to as the zinnia-flowered Dahlia because 
of its resemblance to that subject. Surrounding 
a central yellow disk are 2 to 3 rows of outer- 
guard petals of a vivid crimson-scarlet and 
presenting a beautiful contrast. In artificial 
light a bouquet of Apoldro fairly glows with 
loveliness. Each, 35c; 10 for $3.15.

purposes.

medium-sized flowers handsome as to form as well as 
color. Grand for cutting purposes, having good stems

that is particularly useful for cutting. The color is
