Pride of Califor¬ 
nia is a deserved¬ 
ly popular prize¬ 
winner. Being a 
successfid exhibi¬ 
tion dahlia, it is 
an ideal bloom 
for decorating 
both the house 
and the garden 
& 
Note the divergence 
in type between 
this bloom of 
George Walters and 
the flower from 
the same plant in 
the upper right 
hand corner 
One of the strains in the 
peony-flowered class is this 
dark-toned H ortulanus 
Budde. It is one of the 
loveliest and most satisfac¬ 
tory of the scarlet dahlias 
Both for garden- 
decoration and for 
cut-flower pur¬ 
poses, Princess Jul¬ 
iana, of the decor¬ 
ative dahlias, is 
undoubtedly one of 
the best of the- 
white varieties 
Coutant 
The heavy, waxy whiteness 
of Hortulanus Witte, one 
of the finest of the decora¬ 
tive dahlias, suggests to a 
remarkable degree the lus¬ 
cious texture of the much 
more tender gardenia 
The brilliant salmon pink 
coloring of George Walters, 
combined with its long¬ 
stemmed sturdiness, makes 
it stand out from many of 
its neighbors in the hybrid 
cactus group 
Eckford Century, one of 
the strains of the century 
dahlia, is a large specimen 
of the single variety. It is 
a pure white flower with 
splotches of purple crimson
