WHEN BETTER DAHLIAS ARE GROWN, WE WILL BE THE FIRST TO GROW THEM 
ROBERT EMMETT (Inf. Dec.) “Maroney'Dahliadel”—This grand dahlia is a cardinal 
red, with a velvet texture, the flowers are of good size and are held facing side' 
ways on best of long stiff stems, high aloft and well out of the dark green insect' 
resistant foliage; the bush is a good open grower and produces a great quantity 
of perfect blooms from August until frost, the inner petals are broad and have a 
slight wave to them, while the outer petals have a graceful twist near the tips. 
The plant is a good open grower and averages about five feet in height 
Roots, #3.50 
ROTARY (I nf. Dec.) “Stobo'Cottam”—A grand bi'Colored dahlia that was very much 
admired at our gardens the past season, one that you cannot help but see clear 
across the field. Color a bright cardinal red, with very distinctive triangular white 
tips and very uniform in its markings. The blooms, which are of fair size and 
need very little attention, are held facing sideways on good, strong, canedike 
stems, well above the heavy, dark green, insect'resistant foliage, and are borne in 
great profusion from early in the season until frost. The bush is strong, of self'branch' 
ing, as well as of wide'spreading habit, and a strong thrifty grower which should be 
in every garden. We have a marvelous stock of this variety; height four feet.

ROYAL FLUSH (Inf. Dec.) “Ballay"—Brightest of scarlet, a sensational dahlia both 
as to size and color, they can be grown to good size with very little disbudding. 
The petals are long and twist slightly near the tips, giving the flower a good depth, 
and this, with its size, makes it a most beautiful attraction in the garden. The 
flowers are held facing sideways on good, long, stiff stems, well above the medium 
to tall growing bush with large heavy insect'resistant foliage. Height of plant 
about six feet. Roots, #1.00 
ROYAL ROBE (Inf. Dec.) “S’gismondi'Parrella”—We believe this to be the best 
seedling introduced to date, having Jane Cowl as its parent, the flowers are large 
and of good depth, the color is a rich Royal purple, with a reverse of silver shadings 
that blend most admirably, the petals are long and have a slight wave to them, 
to further show this gorgeous flower off. They are held at a forty'five degree 
angle on good, strong, stiff stems, well out of and above the strong, robust growing 
bush, with a large insect'resistant foliage, an early and very prolific bloomer, and 
always loaded with blooms, makes small roots, height about six feet.

evenly formed and of a waxy formation, with good substance, the blooms are held 
facing sideways on good strong canedike stems, the plant is a good healthy strong 
grower that will attract a lot of attention by its stately appearance. Height four feet. 
Roots, #1.50 
RUBY TAYLOR (Inf. Dec.) “Garrity"—We all have our favorites, and when this 
one first came in bloom, it immediately attracted our attention, as it did that of 
our visitors. It is a clear carmine with a velvet texture that is really hard to de' 
scribe. The flowers are large and deep, of wonderful formation and very striking 
as well. Very few saw it growing that did not leave an order for it. The blooms 
are held facing sideways on long, strong, stiff stems, well out of and above the 
large heavy insect'resistant foliage. The plant is a strong thrifty grower and 
averages about six feet in height. Roots, #3.00 
RUTH M. (Form. Dec.) “Greenough”—A very beautiful as well as striking and odd 
bi'Colored dahlia; it is really hard to conceive a dahlia with such coloring. A pure 
r ; ch gold, with all tips perfectly marked white as a contrast. The blooms, which 
this plant produces in great abundance, are held facing sideways, on very strong 
stiff, canedike stems, well out of and above the foliage. The plant is very strong, 
robust, as well as wide'spreading, with self'branching habits, and makes a beautiful 
sight in the garden or on the exhibition table. If you want a novelty in the garden, 
do not fail to get this one. Height about four feet Roots, #5.00
