Henderson's White Dahlia 
Single bloom showing form on left. Field 
view below showing a plant 8 months old 
from a rooted cutting. 
Rooted cuttings are highly recommended 
and will give excellent blooms as quickly 
as tubers. At end of season bulbs will have 
formed for the following year’s stock. 
HENDERSON'S WHITE 
DAHLIA 
This new variety, illustrated 
above, has proven itself to be the 
most beautiful, the most distinct in 
form and the most prolific bloom¬ 
er of any dahlia. Most people 
seeing this wonderful dahlia, for 
the first time, are likely to con¬ 
fuse it with the largest of the Jap¬ 
anese chrysanthemums. Only up¬ 
on close inspection of the foliage 
can it be distinguished. Sixty 
flowers were picked from one 
plant during the past season. None 
of the blooms were less than 
eight inches in diameter and fre¬ 
quently twelve; stems averaging 
three to five feet in length. Seems 
absolutely rigid. An excellent keep¬ 
er surpassing the famous variety 
"Jersey Beauty” in that quality. 
Color is pure white, with a cream 
yellow center. Price $1.00 each; 
three for $2.50.
