mine in color. A robust and strong grower with excellent stems. 
Root—$1.50 Plant—$0.75 
AMELIA EARHART—(Cordes-Eastman) S. C. One of the finest of all exhibition 
varieties, that has definitely stamped itself as one of the great. The color is 
apricot buff with primrose at the base of the petals. Huge blooms on fine stems

old rose at the base of long, rolled petals. Thick, leathery foliage.

BETTE DAVIS—(Cordes-Eastman) S. C. A lovely rose pink that should prove to 
be a great favorite in the garden. Not too large in size, it more than makes up 
for this in beauty. Fine stems and foliage and a most profuse bloomer. Win¬ 
ner of too many prizes to enumerate. On the Honor Roll. 
Plants only—$5.00 
BUCKEYE KING—(Peck) F. D. A very beautiful and satisfactory light gold dah¬ 
lia. The blooms are quite large on bushes with excellent growth. Very heavy 
foliage makes spraying unnecessary. Well worth your while.

is exceptionally fine. Described as a yellow Satan by its originator.

CAMEO—(F. 6c M.) F. D. Not since the introduction of this dahlia a few years 
ago has there been a dahlia to equal this in beauty. The color is true cameo 
pink. Fine stems and foliage, and we understand that it won more prizes this 
past season than in any other since it was introduced. 
Root $2.50 Plant—$1.25 
CHAUTAUQUA SUNSET—(Chautauqua) I. D. A very pleasing blend of apricot,

COLONIAL DAME—(Veile 6c Mendham) S. C. Still the only true lavender dah¬ 
lia without an equal. Exquisite flowers of perfect form on fine stems. The 
foliage is fine and it has all the good qualities necessary for a dahlia. We know 
of no dahlia that is as pure lavender as this one. It has been grown success¬ 
fully in all parts of the world. Holland, New Zealand, and South Africa all 
send fine reports.
