TO GROW BETTER DAHLIA JOIN THE AMERICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY 
CAROLYN THILL (Inf. Dec.) “McAvoy”—A very impressive dahlia and a difficult one 
to describe. Chamois'rose is the nearest we can come to it as a color, an extremely 
beautiful flower. The blooms are large and held facing sideways on cane like stems, 
well above the heavy insect resistant foliage. An early and free bloomer, the plant 
is from medium to tall growing in habit. Roots, $1.00 
CHAMPOEG (Form. Dec.) “Crites”—This beautiful dahlia is so unusual in color, that 
one often wonders if it were painted by an artist, the color being a waxy canary 
yellow at center, then shading to a salmon pink, giving a color combination so 
beautiful and evenly distributed as though painted by hand. The pink deepens in 
color as the weather becomes cooler in the Fall. The backs of petals are a pale 
yellow, overcast with a veil of white, even the unfolding bud is beautiful. And in 
the early morning when the dew is still on the bloom it has a delicate fragrance. The 
blooms which are large, are held at a forty-five degree angle on cane like stems, and 
make a beautiful sight in the garden. Have exceptionally good stock of this variety. 
Height four feet. Roots, $1.00 
CHAPPAQUA ALASKA (Form. Dec.)—A full petaled flower of the most perfect form, 
its color is a pure definite white, having a beautiful sheen and much substance. The 
blooms which are of fair size are held facing sideways on good strong, straight stiff 
stems, with leathery dark green foliage that is insect resistant, the bush is medium 
to tall in growing habit, and the blooms will keep for a long time when cut. 
Roots, $1.00 
CHARLES G. REED (Form. Dec.) “Ballay”—A rather unusual dahlia in regard to color, 
which is Burgundy with a lighter reverse, or might be described as a purple or 
pertunia red. Anyway it is an outstanding dahlia in any garden, the blooms which 
are large, and composed of broad petals, and always show a full and closed center, 
are held facing sideways, erect and on the best of stems. It is an early and free 
bloomer, and one that never fails to attract attention. Plant a strong robust grower 
height about four to five feet. Roots, $1.00 
CHAUTAUQUA SALUTE (Form. Dec.) “Wallace”'—This dahlia is by far the purest 
white of any dahlia known to date, it is whiter than snow, and a most prolific bloomer, 
the blooms average 7 to 8 inches and are borne in great profusion. The plant is a 
strong robust grower, averaging five to six feet in height, and is always covered with 
blooms, that are held facing sideways on good sturdy long stiff stems. A single plant 
of this variety can supply the average home with plenty of blooms throughout the 
season, besides making a wonderful sight in the garden. Owing to large stock of same. 
Roots, 75c 
CHIEF JUSTICE (Inf. Dec.) “Samson”—A gigantic flower, that makes one marvel how 
it is possible to grow so large, color a lovely chamois, with a soft rose suffusion, the 
monster flowers which can easily be grown from 12 to 13 inches across, and surely 
the visitors to my gardens saw many blooms of this size at my gardens the past season, 
as well as at the recent N.Y. show. They are held erect, and facing sideways on 
strong cane-like stems, the plant averages four to five feet in height, and is stocky, 
and widespreading in habit of growth, and nothing unusual to see four or five of 
these gigantic blooms on the same plant at the one time. If you are looking for 
size, this one will never disappoint you. Roots, $2.00 
CITY OF CLEVELAND (Inf. Dec.) “Bissell”—This grand dahlia was grown at the 
N. Y. Botanical Gardens this past season, and was very much admired, not only by 
its coloring, but by the quantity and quality of blooms on the bush at one time. 
Color a bright scarlet splashed with orange, later in the season the flowers which 
are large, are of an intense orange, with a slight blush of gold, they are held facing 
on good strong stiff stems well out of the strong robust growing bush of self branch¬ 
ing and widespreading habit. A mass of blooms from early in the season, until frost, 
a good root maker, height about five feet. Roots, $10.00 Plants, $5.00
