Introducing the Dahlia 
KISS ME 
New York City’s Florists claim this is the very best 
bicolor “red and white” cutflower Dahlia in cultivation, far 
superior to all other bicolored varieties such as 4 ‘Cigarette”, 
“Market Queen”, “Earl Williams”, "Wm. Hogan”. “Noblis”. 
“York and Lancaster,” etc., for Floral purposes. 
Although unknown to American Dahlia Specialists, this 
variety “Kiss Me” is famous as a Florist’s Cutflower Dahlia 
in Germany and other parts of Europe for many years, and 
catalogued there under name of “Kusse Mich”, and is said 
to be entirely distinct from the European variety of similar 
name, “Kismeth”, which is only of one solid color “carmine 
red” and now well-known in the U. S. 
Nevertheless, this Dahlia “Kiss Me” is a corking good 
variety, best of growth, fine long straight stiff stems, very 
free bloomer of good size scarlet red and white blooms of 
semi cactus type that come true to bicolors and last, but 
not least, always outsells all other red and white varieties 
and at highest market prices. 
Stock of this variety is offered in the U. S. for the first 
time this season, having previously been controlled by only 
two German cutflower growers of Long Island, who refused 
to sell at any price until this season. 
At their request we are helping in distributing their 
surplus over the planting requirements for the coming 
season. 
We highly recommend this variety not only for cutting, 
but also as a sterling garden variety. 
In comparison with many new introductions, this vari¬ 
ety would be cheap at $10.00 per root, but due to the fact 
that these growers wish to quickly turn surplus stock into 
cash we offer roots at reasonable prices as follows:
