ANNOUNCING SOME NEW DAHLIAS 
During the fall of 1922 we staged some excellent “Dahlia 
Shows” in our New Rochelle store, and below we offer some 
novelties that created a sensation in our store last fall. 
Myra Valentine. Decorative. We do not hesitate 
to say there is no more beautiful Dahlia than Myra Valen¬ 
tine. We recommend it highly. A giant salmon bronze 
and gold combination. This Dahlia was a sensation at the 
last New York Show. $15.00 each. 
Mrs. J. H. Hollingsworth. Hy. Cactus. Here is an 
unusual Dahlia. A beautiful mauve color with excellent 
stems. As charming as it is unusual. $5.00 each. 
Madeleine McFall. Peony. Glorious sunset com¬ 
bination of pink and gold. This Dahlia was awarded 
Certificate of Merit at New' York Botanical Gardens, this 
year. Long stems, free bloomer, $3.00 each. 
Our 1923 Catalogue 
Is ready to send to you. We have complete lines of 
bulbs, seeds, tools, etc. Write for copy. 
Our broad experience in creating original landscape 
designs in both American and European Gardens enables 
us to offer a Unique Landscape Service in making and de¬ 
signing Rock Gardens, Formal Gardens (any style) 
Borders, Vistas, Pools, etc. We welcome correspondence 
on Landscape plans for either large or small places. 
“A Little Book 
About Roses” 
for 1923 IS NOW READY 
A gem of the printers’ art, it is, in addition to 
its unequalled richness and beauty, the most 
helpful rose catalogue published. 
It is bound this year in a cover by Stern, 
showing, at her best, our famous flower girl stand¬ 
ing in the open fields, rich in June’s fresh green¬ 
ness, with her arms full of roses—all in natural 
colors. 
This book and the business which it so well 
represents are the result of many years of loving 
and enthusiastic devotion to the Queen of Flowers. 
It is mailed free to customers and intending 
purchasers—to anyone without obligation to 
purchase (but to insure appreciation), for the 
nominal sum of ioc in coin or stamps.

VI N EILAAIO 
The VAUGHAN CUCUMBER 
I NCOMPARABLY the finest salad cucumber which can be grown outdoors 
in America. It produces long, slender fruits of a cool, dark green, which 
when still immature and of the finest table quality, commonly exceed 14 inches 
in length and are of ideal proportions, the greatest diameter never exceeding 
one fourth the length. There is no variety to compare with it in size or 
quality. It grows vigorously under ordinary conditions and needs no coddling. 
Packet 10 cents; Oz., 40 cents.

inches in diameter, in seven colors: DREAM, a deep lavender; OLD

MONARCH a crimson giant; and ORIOLE, orange and gold. Each of these, 
25 cents a packet, or all seven for $ 1 . 50 .
