There is a great difference between the dahlia our father used to know and 
the modern dahlias. 
TACOMA BEAUTY (F. D.)—A deep salmon pink blending with strawberry 
pink and shading to gold at base of petals. A wonderful keeper and a good 
root producer. Winner of many prizes in the northwest. Roots $2.50 
TANG (I. D.)— 1 This is an unusual dahlia for its color and formation. Orange 
flame with gold shadings. A very showy and attractive flower. No garden 
is complete without this one. Tubers, $1.00 
THE COMMODORE (I. D.)—A nice clean growing, bright lemon yellow. Won 
American Home Achievement Medal & A. D. S. Certificate. Petals large, 
centers full with flowers of loose and open formation. Good stem, and 
a very large size flower. $1.00 
THOMAS EDISON (F. D.)-—A gorgeous royal purple dahlia with a sheen of 
velvet. The flower is of staghorn formation which adds greatly to its beauty. 
Blooms with great profusion from early to late. The low growing bush is 
always covered with blooms which are held erect on the best of stems, 
well above the dark green insect resistant foliage. This one was picked 
out by the electrical wizard, who was a dahlia lover, to be named after 
himself. Tubers, 50 
VIN WELL FAIRY I. D. (Blamer)—Color a pure white and one of the best 
white dahlias we have grown. This particular variety stands all kinds of 
abuse of the elements, and especially the hot weather. It does not bruise 
or burn. Size of blossom averages 8x4 inches. Height of bush about. 
5 ft. A fine clean bush and insect resisting foliage. Try this dahlia. You 
will never regret it. Roots $2.00 
VON RUSSWURM (F. D.)—Color, creamy yellow flushed with pink. A fine 
flower on a good stem and insect resisting bush. This is a good one. 
Roots $1.50 
WATCHUNG WONDER (F. D.)—This is a very spectacular dahlia, and one 
that created a sensation at all of the Eastern shows and the winner of many 
prizes. Color a royal red with a touch of gold at the center of the massive 
flowers with now and then a tiny petaloid of gold, to enhance its beauty. 
A very nice flower in every respect and one that you should not overlook. 
Tubers, $1.00 
WHITE WONDER (I. D.)—Bloom 11x7. A pure white dahlia, the giant blooms 
are well formed with long pointed, twisted and curled petals, gives the 
flower a light fluffy appearance. This dahlia comes to us as a cross of 
Fort Monmouth and Ida Perkins. On Mr. Hart’s Honor Roll. Tubers, $2.00 
W. H. T. (F. D.)—A long stemmed flower of brilliant apearance in the garden, 
and a perfect type for the exhibition table. Color a cerise-rose with tints of 
mauve on the reverse, the face however gives a solid color, owing to the 
tight formation of its petals, flowers easily attain a diameter of 8 inches, 
and almost as deep, and are held erect on the best of stems, the plant is 
a robust grower, a very attractive flower that should be in every garden. 
Tubers, $.75 
If there is any variety that you’re interested in and don’t find listed, write 
to me I may be able to accommodate you, as I have many more varieties but 
only in small quantities, and that is why I have not listed them.
