NEW GIANT DECORATIVE DAHLIAS—Conllnucd 
DARLENE 
An exquisite shade of live shcII-pink with a 
dainty blending of white at the center. The plants 
make ideal specimens, averaging about 3 feet in 
height, a single plant making a very clfcctive show¬ 
ing. For rnassing or hedging “Darlene’* is ideal. 
The foliage is a heavy deep green, a perfect contrast 
with the pink and white blossoms. This variety is 
one of the most satisfactory garden varieties we arc 
offering, the plants being literally covered with 
blossoms from early July until frost. The uniform¬ 
ity and perfection of the flowers shows unusual 
qualities. Si.00 each. 
FRANK A. WALKER 
A cinyming shade of lavcndcr-pink. For house 
decoration, gardens or cut flower purposes this 
variety is exceptionally good, having long stems 
and producing flowers in great abundance. This 
splendid Dahlia should be in every garden. 50c. 
each. 
KING OF THE AUTUMN 
This is one of the finest Decorative Dahlias which 
has ever been introduced. The Jiabit is absolutely 
perfect with strong, sturdy plants. It has long, 
stiff stems and is remarkably free flowering. As this 
variety has all the good qualities of a Dahlia and is 
one of the^ most desirable sorts, it therefore bears 
our very highest recommendation. The coloring is 
new and unique; bufl' yellow suffused terra cotta; 
the first impression being a golden orange. $1.00 
each. 
HORTULANUS FIET 
The coloring of this variety is exceedingly wonder¬ 
ful—a beautiful shade of salmon exquisitely blending 
to yellow at the center. Flowers are of gigantic 
size and produced on long, stiff stems well above 
the foliage. 75c. each. 
ROSE GEM 
HORTULANUS WITTE 
A perfect wonder. Its remarkable qualities being 
excellent type, perfect form and purity of color. 
The flowers are borne in a miraculous profusion 
upon long, stiff stems, well above the foliage. The 
color is a waxy, almost glistening pure white; a 
beauty in every sense of the word, 50c. each. 
LEO XIII. 
This is the largest yellow Decorative Dahlia to my 
knowledge; being one of the most prominent for ex¬ 
hibition purposes. The flowers are of tiiat ricii, 
deep golden yellow that pleases everyone. Si-oo 
each. 
ROSE GEM 
Another new variety imported this last season 
from Holland and one that proves to be the finest 
of its color to date. The habit of the plant is per¬ 
fect, it being a good strong growing variety, produc¬ 
ing its blossoms upon strong, stiff stems well above 
the foliage. The coloring is very beautiful, some¬ 
thing entirely new, with a silvery sheen; a pleasing 
shade of salmon-pink. We think “Rose Gem” 
properly named, as.it surely is a gem among Dahlias. 
$1.00 each. 
TENOR ALVAREZ 
This new variety is a giant among giants; truly, 
one of the finest Dahlias to our knowledge. The 
flowers are produced upon long, wiry stems well 
above the foliage which is remarkable for a flower 
so large. The color combination is very pleasing 
and attractive but difficult to describe violet-red, 
very heavily striped and splashed lilac and white. 
$1.00 each.
