CODDLING DAHLIAS IN THE GROWING SEASON REPAYS IN THE BLOOMING SEASON 
PRINCE OF PERSIA (Inf. Dec.) “Newsome”—A very striking bright red exhibition 
dahlia that was very much admired at our gardens the past season. The petals of 
this gorgeous dahlia are long and broad, and of a most irridescent rich glowing 
crimson, and form a huge flower of good depth. They are held facing sideways 
on very long, sturdy, canedike stems, well out of and above the foliage, and are 
borne in great profusion. The plant is a tall, vigorous and thrifty grower, and 
averages between six and seven feet. If you have never grown this one to per' 
fection, then don’t fail to try our stock of it. Roots, $1.00 
^PRINCESS NINI (St Cac.) “Berger”-—Color a soft salmon rose, shading to a greenish 
yellow at the center and tips of petals, the blooms are not large, averaging about 
six inches, but what they do not make up in size, they more than make up in 
quality and quantity. They are borne in great profusion on strong, stiff, wiry 
stems, well above the foliage of the compact growing bush, about four feet high. 
Roots, $2.00 
PRINCETONIAN (Inf. Dec.) “Colvin”—A massive deep flower, color a blend of light 
orange yellow and coral pink, the petals are very long and broad at the base and 
taper to a point, with a very high center; they twist and curl in a most enhancing 
manner, a real beauty. The flowers are held at a forty-five degree angle on very 
strong, canedike stems, well out of and high above the tall bush with exceptionally 
large heavy insect-resistant foliage. Height six to seven feet. 
Plants, $2.50 Roots, $5.00 
PURPLE BEAUTY (Semi-Cac.) “Cackener-Parkway”—A remarkably brilliant color, a 
rich royal purple with a translucent reflex; the petals are long, and whirl and 
twist in a most enhancing manner, the flowers are large, of good depth and are 
held facing sideways on good strong stems, well above the foliage. The plant is 
a strong thrifty grower, averaging about six feet, and the blooms have a striking 
effect when in the sunlight or under artificial light; a very showy plant as well as 
an early and very prolific bloomer, the late blooms being every bit as large as 
the early ones, was very much admired at our gardens the past season. 
Roots, $5.00

dull old rose, and gold shadings at the base of the petals, giving the flower a 
burnished copper effect. The blooms are held facing sideways on good, strong, 
cane-like stems, well above the large, heavy, insect-resistant foliage; a flower of 
fine formation and a strong growing plant that averages about five feet.

are long and twist slightly near the tips, the flowers are large and are held facing 
sideways on good strong, stiff stems, well out of the bush, which is strong and
