DECORATIVE DAHLIAS 
Large, Strong, Stately Growing Plants of Rare Beauty 
KING OF THE 
AUTUMN 
This is a great 
Dahlia, both as a cut 
flower and also as for 
garden ^ decoration. 
Its habit of growth is 
ideal, producing an 
abundance of flowers 
of good size, 6 inches 
or more in diameter, 
which can be cut with 
steins 4 feet long. It 
is of true decorative 
form excepting late in 
the season, when it 
often develops flow¬ 
ers of the Paeony type. 
In color it is one of the 
most effective and 
pleasing autumnal 
tints, a luminous sal¬ 
mon-pink passing to 
a golden suffused buff 
near the edges which 
is particularly pleasing 
under artificial light. 
King of the Autumn, I 
am convinced, is a 
winner, and a variety 
that will become one 
of the most popular. 
50c each, postpaid. 
OREGON BEAUTY 
I doubt if there has 
been a single visitor 
to my Dahlia fields 
who has not included 
this brilliant gorgeous 
variety inhisselection. 
It has also been prom¬ 
inently displayed at 
all exhibitions, its rich 
color, an intense Ori¬ 
ental-red with golden 
sheen and garnet suf¬ 
fusion, makes it one 
of the varieties that 
stands out prominent¬ 
ly among all of its 
neighbors. Add to 
Decorative Dahlia—Kins off the Autumn its large size, long 
stiff stems, with an 
unusual freedom of 
bloom, and it is one of the most desirable garden varieties. 40c each, postpaid 
DELICE 
Ono of the most popular pink varieties. Its beautiful soft, yet lively color, a glow J ng rose- 
pink, together with its perfect shape, stout, stiff stems, and the fact that when cut it retains 
its freshness for a long timo, makes this ono of the most valuable for cutting or decorative sorts 
in the garden. 30c each, postpaid. 
FLAMINGO 
As a cut flower this ranks with Delice; the flowers are of rich and glowing rose-pink; while it 
frequently shows an open center, this doesjiot detract from its beauty. 35 each, postpaid. 
GEISHA 
The showiest and most attractive of this type yet introduced; the rich colored flowers are 
original in form, consisting of peculiarly twisted and curled petals, of an effective and rich com¬ 
bination of scarlet and gold. 35c each, postpaid. 
LEO XIII 
This Is tho finest yellow decorative dahlia to my knowledge; its flowers being of gigantic size, 
and produced upon long stems. It is a beautiful deep golden yellow. Early in the season the 
flowers are perfectly double, and full to the center; a perfect decorative variety; but as the 
season advances it shows Its beautiful yellow center, making it a beautifully quilled paeony- 
ilowerod dahlia. As a cut flower variety it is ideal. For exhibition purposes it is unsurpassed. 
40c each, postpaid. 
PRINCESS JULIANA 
An ideal pure white for all purposes. A splendid cut flower and a good decorator for the 
garden. It is ono of tho earliest to flower, and continues in good shape throughout the season. 
It holds its flowers well abovo the foliage on stiff, wiry stems. 40c each, postpaid.
