DAHLIAS—THE ARISTOCRATS OF THE GARDEN 
HELEN IVINS 
HELEN IVINS (Form. Dec.) “F. M.”—This is one of the best blooming varieties 
I know of, color an odd shade of orchid shaded lavender, the blooms are always of 
good size from early until late in the season. They are held facing sideways on 
good, long, stiff, canedike stems, well above the heavy insect-resistant foliage. The 
plant is rugged, vigorous and wide-spreading in habit of growth, and averages about 
four feet in height. It is always loaded with blooms, and a single plant can supply 
the average home with plenty of blooms throughout the season. An exceptional 
good keeper when cut and used for decorative or exhibition purposes. We have 
an exceptionally large stock of this variety, and believe it to be about the best 
stock that can be procured anywhere. On this account, we are selling it at this 
low price. It is an exceptional root maker. Roots, 25c 
HORDES SALMON (Inf. Dec.) “Hordes-Parkway”-—We are proud to introduce this 
beauty to the flowering world as a commercial dahlia for florist work. Color a 
pure salmon, the blooms average about seven inches and of good depth, and are 
held facing the heavens, on strong, long, steel-like stems, well out of and above 
the foliage, which is large, heavy and insect resistant. The blooms never show 
an open center, and the petals will dry on the flower before they will fall off. 
It is an early, free and continuous bloomer, and is always loaded with blooms. A 
single plant of this variety will supply the average home with plenty of blooms all 
season. It is a strong, vigorous grower and one that will grow and thrive in 
practically any kind of soil, and under adverse conditions. Height about 6 feet, 
an exceptionally good root maker. Roots, $1.00
