CODDLING DAHLIAS IN THE GROWING SEASON REPAYS IN THE BLOOMING SEASON 
DR. HARRY HOWARD (Form. Dec.) “Crooks"—A very large primrose yellow, al- 
though the petals are pointed, the flower is really formal in appearance. The 
blooms are not only large, but very deep and are held facing the heaven like a 
huge chrysanthemum, on top of strong stem, well above the foliage of the clean, 
open growing, robust bush, of medium height. An early prolific and incessant 
bloomer as well as a good root maker. Height four feet. Roots, 50c 
*DR. HERMAN SCHULTZ 
*DR. HERMAN SCHULTZ (St. Cac.) “Berger"—This is another real beauty from 
Germany, and one that made many friends at our gardens the past season. Color 
amber, shading to chrome yellow at the center, both colors blending most gorgeously 
into a soft glow, and overcast with a golden sheen. The blooms, which are large 
and borne in great profusion, are held facing sideways, on long, rigid stems, well 
above the dark green lace to ferndike foliage that insects will never go near. The 
early blooms of this variety will show open centers, but as the nights get cooler all 
blooms will show tight-closed centers. If you want something new and beautiful, 
this is it. Height four to five feet. Roots, $2.00 
*DR. JOSEPH SCHEINER (Semi. Cac.) “Dakoupilova"—Here is a dahlia that is a 
real as well as distinctive novelty, not only on account of its large size and great 
depth, but by its formation, which resemble huge chrysanthemums and attract every¬ 
one to it. The color is a soft lilac and overcast with a soft rose glow, the huge 
blooms are held erect, facing the heaven on top of good, strong, stiff stems, well 
above the medium growing plant. At the recent N. Y. Show it beat out Wash¬ 
ington Giant and Air Mail in the Lavender and Mauve color, any type, and believe 
us, she beat some fine blooms of the other varieties. Plants, $1.50 Roots, $3.00
