R u r pee s Dahlias 
Four Grand New 
Peony-Flowered 
Varieties 
D AHLIAS have always been a great spe¬ 
cialty with the House of Burpee, and 
every year we are growing many acres of these 
wonderful flowers on our Farms in Pennsyl¬ 
vania and New Jersey. Burpee’s Dahlias are 
unsurpassed for garden decoration. They 
are invariably of strong, well-branched,and 
upright habit. Few other introductions can 
approach them in freedom of bloom and 
length of flowering season. The long¬ 
stemmed blooms, carried gracefully above the 
foliage, lend themselves admirably well for 
cutting. 
BURPEE’S DAINTY QUEEN. An outstanding va¬ 
riety of strong growth. Few varieties show such a 
mass of flowers from early in the season until frost. 
The color is a pleasing shade of rosy lavender, the 
lower half of the petals being white. The com¬ 
bination is dainty and beautiful. Strong roots 
75 cts. each; 3 for $1.90; 6 for $3.65. 
BURPEE’S AUTUMN BEAUTY. Every lover of 
autumn shades will want this fine Burpee variety. 
The habit of the plant is strong and upright and 
one of its most notable features is its free-bloom¬ 
ing character. The color is a lovely combination 
of soft yellow and buff with a suffusion of light 
rose. Strong roots 75 cts. each; 3 for $1.90; 6 
for $3.65. 
BURPEE’S FORDHOOK CERISE. This is one of 
the most outstanding Dahlias we have ever seen. 
It is of stiff and perfectly upright growth with 
long and wiry stems. The large, well-shaped 
blooms are a brilliant shade of rich cerise with just 
a suspicion of orange toward the base of the petals. 
Strong roots 75 cts. each; 3 for $1.90; 6 for $3.65. 
BURPEE’S FORDHOOK WHITE. Burpee’s Ford- 
hook White is a wonderful companion to the other 
three Burpee varieties described above. It has the 
same characteristic strong and upright growth, 
and in season of bloom begins with the earliest and 
keeps up to produce a wonderful profusion of 
flowers until cut down by frost. The large, well- 
shaped blooms are well rounded and the petals are 
all pure white with the inner ones partially curling 
over the yellow stamens. Strong roots 25 cts. 
each; 3 for 70 cts.; 6 for $1.30.
