Dahlias of Quality 
CACTUS DAHLIAS 
AMERICAN TRIUMPH—Cac. We have grown many Cactus dahlias since the introduction of 
the American Triumph, but have found none to equal this bright red Cactus in size, finish 
and ability to win in the Cactus classes, wherever exhibited in competition. It is a close 
rival of the Ambassador, and frequently wins over the Ambassador. No roots to offer this 
season. Plants from carefully selected stock. 
75 cents each 
ELLA MAY—(Prentice). In this cactus we have a beautiful and graceful flower. The color 
is rich violet carmine, shading to prune purple on outer petals. Slightly incurved, and 
about 5 inches in diameter. Good stiff stems, that hold the flower facing well above 
the foliage of a strong growing plant. 
Divisions, each 50 cents; 3 for $1.00 
LOIS MARION—Inc. Cac. (Ruschmohr). This is a typical incurved cactus, and different in 
color from any we have seen, it being a light yellow, edged shrimp pink. The flowers are 
large for a dahlia of the incurved type, and are of very symmetrical formation. Stems 
are long and stiff, holding the flowers high out of the foliage of a tall robust growing 
plant. Very free bloomer, when it gets under way which is a little late in the season. 
For this reason it should be planted as early as weather will permit and not be pinched back. 
Divisions, each $2.00. Plants, each $1.00 
BALL DAHLIAS 
CAROLYN BALL—IBochou). A new dahlia of the true ball type of unusual merit. The color 
is a clear lavender-pink, flowers 4-6 inches in diameter, perfect centers, and with stems 
that hold the flowers erert, high above the foliage. Plant a good grower and exceedingly 
prolific of bloom. If well grown, it is practically unbeatable as an exhibition dahlia of 
this type. 
Roots, each $1.00, Plants, each 75c 
GOLD MEDAL—This is an old dahlia, but to our mind is one of the most beautiful varieties 
ever introduced, regardless of type. It is a perfect ball, 2% to 3 inches in diameter, and 
the color combination of yellow and red is so harmoniously blended, that it would be almost 
impossible to produce a more exquisite flower. Plant is of rather dwarf habit, but is very 
prolific of bloom in the late season, and it is exceedingly fine for table and house 
decoration. Every one likes this exquisite flower. 
Divisions, each 50 cents 
HIBALL—'(No. 49). Color of this fine new ball dahlia is old rose. Flowers are about 4 inches 
in diameter, of equal depth, and are held high above the foliage on long stiff stems. Plant 
very vigorous and tall, reaching a height of 7-8 feet, many branched and an early and 
very profuse bloomer. One of the best ball dahlias introduced in recent years. 
Roots, each $2.00. Plants, each $1.00 
POM POM DAHLIAS 
LITTLE NORMAN—One of the best poms we have ever grown. Its exquisite color of flesh 
pink, slightly tinted lavender, habit of dwarf, compact growth, floriferousness ; small size 
of bloom, which seldom exceed one and one-fourth inches in diameter, good keeping 
qualities when cut, entitles it to be classed as one of the very best for exhibition and 
decorative purposes. We have grown a great many Poms, and seen many more, but very 
few varieties exceed this little Pom for real beauty and value for exhibition and general 
decorative purposes. 
Plants only 50 cents each, 3 for $1.25 
AERIAL—Small, orange buff, very pretty. 
BOB WHITE—(Dahliadel). This is the best white Pom we have ever grown. Flowers are 
small, pure milk white when full bloom, and the plant is exceedingly prolific, being lit¬ 
erally covered with long stemmed bloom throughout the season. 
BRONZE BEAUTY—A small well formed plant, producing rich golden bronze of great beauty. 
Free bloomer, good stems. 
DARKSOME—The best dark maroon. 
ELFIN—Light primrose yellow. A good grower and free bloomer. 
FACINATION—Pretty orange buff pom of much beauty. The plant is a good grower, and 
profuse producer of exhibition and utility blooms. Good stems. 
JESSICA—Yellow, suffused rose red. Very free and early. Good stems. 
KATHLEEN—A well formed primrose yellow. Plant is a sturdy grower, and a free bloomer. 
Very desirable for exhibition and table decoration. 
LITTLE BELLE—Extra fine mauve pink with long, erect stems. 
LITTLE DOROTHEA—'Small orange and white flowers of great beauty. 
LITTLE EDITH—This free growing and free blooming little Pom is a most profuse producer 
of small yellow blooms, slightly tipped carmine. One of the best exhibition varieties.
