ing scarlet. The habit of the plant is all that can bo 
desired, growing with us about 5 feet in height.

it a most effective and useful variety for cutting, as 
well as for garden decoration. “Kalif” has the

National German Dahlia Society’s highest award 
and although originating in Germany, is worthy 
of a place in every garden. 75c. each.

MRS. WARNAAR 
A “Garden Gactus” of superior quality, heralded 
from Holland and recommended as one of the finest 
cut nower varieties in existence. This most fasci¬ 
nating variety appeals to every flower lover as a true 
sensation. The coloring is exquisite, being a de¬ 
lightful creamy white, overlaid and blending to a 
charming shade of delicate pink. The flowers are 
produced on long, stiff stems, well above the foliage 
and the habit of the plant is all that could be desired; 
it being tall and upright. Blossoms are of gigantic 
size and great merit. “Mrs. Warnaar” when first 
exhibited in Holland, received an Award of Merit 
at Haarlem given by the Dutch Bulb Growers’ 
Society and an Award of Merit at Amsterdam given 
by the Netherland Society of Horticulture. $1.00 
each. 
New Giant Decorative Dahlias 
The Decorative Dahlia is the pride of all Dahlias, standing out pre-eminently. In 
the garden the plants are strong, sturdy, vigorous growers, with heavy, dark green foli¬ 
age, and a remarkable constitution. The blossoms are produced in great profusion, 
which IS exceptional for a t3^pe of Giant-flowering Dahlias. For cut flower purposes they 
are unsurpassed, having long, straight stems of wiry stiffness and producing their flowers 
in a pleasing upright manner; then principally, their lasting qualities when cut—they arc 
unequalled, lasting longer than any of the other types. As an exhibition flower the 
Decorative Dahlia is the most gigantic of all Dahlias, blossoms having beauty, substance, 
quality—all essential characteristics of a true “Model of Perfection.” As a decorative 
flower they are first in every respect; being graceful, adapted to designs, and most artistic. 
The blossoms of the Decorative Dahlias are large, flat, but beautiful in shape and full 
to the center; the petals are somewhat irregularly situated, long, broad, flat and nearly 
straight.
