6190 Bull Moose P^oauc?^ 
for 1914. Out of almost 500 
seedlings which we have grown 
on for three successive seasons, 
the Bull Moose has proved to be 
the leader of them all. As a 
Decorative Dahlia it is well 
nigh perfect. The color is a 
beautiful shade of crushed 
strawberry; flowering well above 
the plants, which grow three 
feet and is most effective. Of¬ 
fered in green plants only.$2.50 
6200 CAMELLIA. A dwarf, bushy 
plant, attaining a height of 2M> 
feet, with small but prolific fo¬ 
liage and myriads of medium 
size flowers of coppery orange. 
Shape of the flower is just like 
a Camellia and lasts well.15 
6210 CATHERINE DTJER. For ef¬ 
fect in artificial light after 
being cut there is hardly an¬ 
other variety, which has more 
brilliancy; a giant flower borne 
erect on straight stems, color of 
a deep, rich, glowing red.15 
6215 CHANOINE DUCROT. A very 
flat petaled flower; color being a 
beautiful brilliant scarlet. Plants 
of medium height; flowers car¬ 
ried well above foliage. A very 
satisfactory variety of French

C10H AUGUSTE NONIN. Clear scarlet; a 
large and superb flower borne abun¬

ers are always perfect... 
6120 AUTUMN TINTS. (1913.) This is 
in no sense an exhibition Dahlia; the 
blooms being of large size and almost 
globular in form with only slightly 
twisted florets. As a decorative va¬ 
riety. however, it is a great success; 
its dark, rich, bronze coloring making 
it doubly attractive.25 
6160 BEAUTY OP KENT. Beautiful in 
form, color and appearance; deep crim¬ 
son red with distinct pure white tips; 
most effective and at once catches the 
eye; free blooming.35 
The Decorative type of Dahlias being of a 
distinct class is nearly allied to the Cactus 
type. In habit and character of plants they 
are very similar; but in the blossom of the 
Decorative type the petals are very broad, 
their width being nearly half the length, while 
in the Cactus the petals are long and narrow 
and usually curled and twisted. 
Varieties in large type are new and recent 
introductions.
