SUPERB SINGLE DAHLIAS. 
The Single Dahlias flower with such lavish profusion, are so airy and decorative, both upon the plant and whet 
arranged in vases, and withal are so pure in color, they well merit their increasing popularity. They flower early, 
late and all the time. 
My collection of Single Dahlias is the choicest and best in the whole world. I have always been awarded first 
prize for Single Dahlias wherever exhibited, during the past six years. 
BLACK BIRD.—Flowers deep maroon—almost black— 
rather small but in masses. Plant rather dwarf and a 
most profuse bloomer. 
BLACK CENTURY.—Intense deep crimson; foliage bronze 
green with decided metallic cast. Plant rather dwarf and 
covered with flowers. .Distinct and valuable.

DR. IIEXAMER. —A single variety that originated at the 
Monmouth Nursery. The flowers are large, rich velvety 
maroon with distinct markings of canary-yellow at base of 
petals, forming a unique and very pleasing contrast. 
Broad petals which overlap and are recurved, forming a 
round, well built up flower. Blooms are borne on long 
slender, stiff stems, causing them to nod like Lilies with 
every breeze. It is truly grand; perhaps the finest of all 
Single Dahlias. Awarded a certificate of merit by the 
American Institute. Each, 35c; doz., $3.50.
