DAHLIAS 
New French “Collarette" Dahlias 
An entirely new typo of single Dahlias, 
which has produced a great sensation 
wherever shown. The peculiarity of the 
type lies in the development of the four 
stamens into short rays or petals at 
the base of petal, which form a frill or 
collar around the center. As the collar is 
entirely distinct in color from the rest of 
the flower, it is most unique and striking. 
President Vigor. The most beauti¬ 
ful and striking of the two varieties. 
Rich, deep blood-red, shading darker 
toward the base of the petals, with pure white collar, occasionally 
suffused with rosy-carmime. Each 40 cts.
