WHEN BETTER DAHLIAS ARE GROWN, WE WILL BE THE FIRST TO GROW THEM 
TUXEDO (Inf. Dec.) “Cackener'Parkway”—This, we believe, is one of the most beautiful 
dahlias it has ever been our pleasure to look at; a plant of this variety will attract 
as much attention as any variety I know of, the formation of the flowers are different 
from that of any other variety we know of. Color a mauve pink, flushed salmon 
and lavender, the petals, which are long and broad, taper slightly at the points and 
are very thick and of a waxdike texture; the center petals stand out straight, forming 
a very high pointed center; in many ways, the whole formation is like that of a 
huge water lily, with the addition that this one looks you square in the face, as 
it is held facing sideways on long stiff stems, high and well out of the large insect' 
resistant foliage. If we were ever proud of a dahlia, this is the one. A strong 
thrifty grower, height six feet. Plants, $5.00 Roots, $10.00 
UARDA (St. Cac.) “Hulin”—An odd colored dahlia, color Begonia rose, with a faint 
overcast of purple, a rich as well as appealing color. The flowers, which are of 
fair size, are held facing sideways on good long stems, on the strong but compact 
growing bush, averaging four to five feet. A good keeper and free bloomer. 
Roots, 50c 
*UNICUM (Semi'Cac.) “Bruidgom”—A new European variety, and one of the best 
in its color, a deep pink with a chamois center, the petals are long, but rather 
broad, so that the flowers are not only large but of good depth. They are held 
facing sideways on long, sturdy, stiff stems, well above the foliage of the very 
prolific blooming plant. Blooms have exceptionally good keeping qualities, bush 
a strong thrifty grower, height about four feet. Plants only, $1.50 
^VICTORIA (St. Cac.) “Stredwick”—Color empire yellow, the flowers are of good 
size and held facing sideways on good, strong, sturdy stems. The formation of 
this flower is very odd, the center petals are incurved, while the outer petals stand 
out straight, giving the flower the appearance of a large chrysanthemum. The 
plant is a free and early bloomer, and will bloom until frost, as well as being a 
low, self'branching grower of vigorous strength. Height three feet. 
Plants, $1.00 Roots, $2.00 
*VOITS IDEAL (Semi'Cac.) “Berger "'—A very large deep flower with their long 
pointed petals, gives the flower a great depth, the flowers are held at a forty'five 
degree angle on strong canedike stems, well above the foliage of the strong, vigorous, 
wide'spreading bush. We believe this to be about the best white ever to come 
from Europe. A grand dahlia, height about four feet. 
Plants, $1.50 Roots, $3.00 
*VOITS WHITE GIANT (Semi'Cac.) “Berger”—A large white, the petals are crinked 
and twisted, the flowers are held facing up on strong canedike stems, well out of 
and above the thick, heavy, ferndike foliage, the plant is a strong and very robust 
grower and a very prolific and early bloomer that will bloom clear up until frost. 
Roots, $2.50 
W. H. T. (Form. Dec.) “Schling”—A long stemmed flower of a brilliant hue and forma' 
tion, color cerise rose, with tints of mauve on the reverse. The face of the flower, 
however, gives a solid color, owing to the tight formation of its petals. The flowers 
very easily attain good size, and the even rows of petals give the flower a very 
artistic effect; the outer rows fold back towards the stem, so that the flowers re" 
semble huge balls. They are held erect on strong, long, sturdy stems; the plant 
is a strong robust grower and attains a height of six feet. Roots, 50c 
WATCHUNG CHIEF (Form. Dec. “Smith”—Color of this grand dahlia is burnt orange, 
the blooms are large and very deep, and are held at a forty'five degree angle on 
exceptionally strong canedike stems, well above the foliage. For a large flower, 
this variety is an exceptionally prolific bloomer, the plant being always loaded with 
a mass of blooms from early until frost. The bush is a very sturdy and robust 
grower, as well as a good root maker. Height of plant four to five feet. 
Roots, $1.00
