Cheerful 
This is a wonderful new Deco¬ 
rative Dahlia of a pleasing 
buff-yellow which combines with a suffusion of bright 
terra-cotta into a rich, vivid autumn shade. In addi¬ 
tion to the charming color of the flowers, this novelty 
has the great characteristic of producing strong cane¬ 
like stems which hold the blooms stiffly erect above the 
foliage. The flowers are always fully double and of a most 
popular size for all kinds of decoration. Cheerful grows 
into a sturdy, well-rounded plant about 4 feet tall. It is an 
early and extremely free bloomer. 
One strong division, $5.00, postpaid. 
This is a flower of great beauty, 
iVvlflllll belonging to the Hybrid Cactus 
type. The blooms grow to enormous size. They are perfect 
in formation, with pure white petals in a most artistic 
irregular arrangement. One of its outstanding features is 
its purity of color. As a cut flower Iceland will be found 
an excellent keeper. The habit of the plant is semi-tall and 
the blooms are borne in the greatest profusion throughout 
the season. They are held erect on very long stiff stems. 
The flowers are always fully double to the center and they 
stand out sharply against the dark green foliage. Excellent 
for either cutting or garden decoration. 
One strong division, $5.00, postpaid. 
The immense flowers 
VUI^ are a rich, clear, butter- 
yellow color. They are not only very large but are also of 
exquisite form, with broad, expanded petals which have 
sharply pointed tips. The petals are attractively curled, 
giving the whole flower a most pleasing and airy appearance. 
The flowers are borne on good strong stems throughout the 
season and they are produced in such profusion as to 
form a perfect mass of blooms. The plant is of medium 
height, strong constitution, and is well adapted for gar¬ 
den decoration. As a cut flower our new Decorative 
Dahlia Sunnybrook is unexcelled. 
One strong division, $5.00, postpaid. 
Evening Glow 
much comment when shown for the first time in our Gold 
Medal Exhibit at the New York Dahlia Show held last Sep¬ 
tember. Evening Glow represents a wonderful new shade and 
received its name because of its resemblance to the light purple- 
rose tint so often prevalent at dusk. It is a blending of clear 
blue with a warm shade of rose. Under artificial light it ap¬ 
pears more as a rich deep rose. The flowers are of finest form 
and belong to the Hybrid Cactus type. They are large and are 
carried on stout and rigid stems clear above the healthy rich 
foliage. Evening Glow is a free and continuous bloomer 
and represents a most valuable new Dahlia for both 
garden decoration and cutting. 
One strong division, $5.00, postpaid.

Burpee Dahlias described above, with the understand¬
