FOR BETTER DAHLIAS JOIN THE AMERICAN DAHLIA SOCIETY 
:;: EHRENPREIS (St. Cac.) “Carlee”—An exceptionally early and free flowering cactus, 
and believe also that it is about the most prolific flowering dahlia we have ever seen, 
counting thirty seven fully matured blooms on a single plant at the one time, the 
flowers are not large, as they average between five and six inches across, but what 
they lack in size, they more than make up in beauty. Color salmon rose, heavily 
shaded amethyst, the flowers are held facing sideways on long stiff wiry stems, well out 
of and above the foliage, the plant is a strong robust grower of widespreading habit, 
and makes a beautiful sight in the garden, height four feet. Roots, $1.00 
*ENTRUPS MONARCH (Inf. Dec.) “Entrup”—A brilliant cherry carmine, on a white 
ground, the colors blend in a most enhancing manner, the petals are long and broad, 
and twist gracefully near the tips, flowers are held facing sideways on string stiff 
cane-like stems well above the heavy dark green foliage, a good vigorous growing 
plant of about five feet in height. ...Plants only $2.50 
*ENTRUPS SULTAN (Inf. Dec.)—A very bright clear carmine red, the flowers are not 
only large, but are borne in great abundance and are held facing sideways on excep- 
tionally long stiff cane-like stems, well out of and above the strong vigorous wide- 
spreading and self-branching plants, with large heavy thick leathery foliage that insects 
like to keep away from. Height about four feet. Plants only $2.50 
*ENTRUPS WHITE (Inf. Dec.) “Entrup”—This is a very showy dahlia in the garden, 
the flowers are large and of pure white in color, and are held at forty-five degree 
angle, on strong cane-like stems so that they can be seen from some distance, high 
and well above the foliage, the plant is a good stocky one, and as well as being of 
very robust growth, height about five feet. Plants only $2.50 
♦EXCELSIOR 
-EXCELSIOR (Inf. Dec.) “Berger”—Color a golden orange and terra-cotta shading 
and overcast amber. The blooms of this variety can be grown to gigantic size, and 
we believe it to be the largest flowering variety ever to be sent out from Germany. 
It is nothing unusual to see a number of blooms 10 to 12 inches across on the one 
plant without any forcing. The huge blooms are held erect and facing sideways on 
strong cane-like stems well out of the very robust and vigorous growing bush, which 
grows to about four feet in height. Roots, $2.00
