but slightly incurved, are well placed and 
just numerous enough to form an ex¬ 
ceedingly graceful flower.

CAMEO (Inf. Dec.) —A Dahlia suf¬ 
ficiently different in coloring to justify 
its presence. Color coral-rose, shading to 
rose pink on reverse, with golden sheen 
on face of petals, glowing beautifully 
under artificial light. The blooms are of 
very large size, with great depth, and are 
held facing sideways on long stiff stems, 
well above the foliage of the medium 
growing bush, which is sturdy and robust

cut, and are ideal for exhibition, winning 
many prizes at the shows. Height four

yellow, and heavily laden with a golden 
sheen. The flowers are of good size, the 
petals being nicely pointed, and a form 
of sheer beauty. They are held facing 
sideways on good, stiff stems, well above 
the strong, growing bush, an early and 
very prolific bloomer, and a good keeper 
when cut. Height five feet. Roots $1.50.

with carmine. A very handsome large 
flower. Root $1.00 
DIXIE CARDINAL (F. D.)—This very

to carry all the monster bloom erect. In
