AUTUMN MOON F. D. (Mad River Gardens)—This large dahlia was one of 
the most admired in our gardens; a consistent bloomer on good strong 
stems. Color, a light golden yellow with a few highlights of peach amber 
in some soils. Reminds one of a full September moon. Height, 5 feet.

BABY AGNES Cac. (Young)—The color of this dahlia is pure white. The 
best white it has been my lot to grow for color. Plants grow to 5 feet.

With a reasonable amount of disbudding flowers grow 714 to 8 inches.

BETTY ZANE I. D. (Mad River Gardens)—A very large flower of deep rose 
pink, with a silver sheen. We believe its great quality of uniform growth 
and prolific blooming will make it very popular. Very much admired and 
favorably commented on by our visitors. Height, 4% feet. 
Roots $2.50 Plants $1.25 
BLACK KNIGHT I. D. (Kemp)—The name of this dahlia ought to be suffi¬ 
cient to give you an idea of the color. Dark velvety maroon, almost black.

a wonderful branching habit. Height, 6 feet. Roots $2.50 Plants $1.25 
BLUE TRAIN F. D. (Burkart)—A fine dahlia of a new color, the nearest we 
can describe it would be a bluish purple. The flowers average about 9 
inches and are held facing sideways on good, stiff stems; a flower of ideal 
formation. Height, 4 feet. Roots $1.00 
BOYCHICK I. D. (Parrella-Hulin)—Color, garnet red at centre, shading to a 
lighter red at the edge of petals, with silvery streaked reverse, which 
adds more to the beauty of the flower. Flowers can easily be grown to 10 
inches in diameter or more, and stands erect on fine stems. An early and 
prolific bloomer. Bush grows about 5 feet tall. Roots $1.00

held facing sideways, on good stems, well above the foliage. Tall and very 
vigorous growing bush. Height, 6 feet. Roots 50c 
CALIFORNIA IDOL I. D. (Ballay)—Clear, bright, self-colored yellow. In size 
it ranks with the very largest, growing to 14 inches and more, with cor¬ 
responding depth, and yet is an extremely refined flower in every sense. It 
won the American Home Achievement medal at Boston, and the Dahlia 
Society of California medal at San Francisco as the best undessiminated 
three-year-old seedling. Height, 414 feet. Roots $5.00 Plants $2.50 
CHAUTAUQUA REGAL F. D. (Wallace)—For resistance to poor growing con¬ 
ditions and to insects, this is the dahlia. The color is an unusually rich 
and brilliant cardinal red with reverse shaded ivory. The flowers produced 
are very deep and have a diameter of 10 to 12 inches. Height, 514 feet. 
Roots $1.50 
CHINESE LANTERN I. D. (Caldwell-Wickersham)—This large dahlia, we 
predict, will win a host of friends. A very rugged grower, with dark insect 
resisting leathery foliage. Won a Certificate of Merit at Storr’s. Color, 
rose-red, or nearly scarlet-red; backs of petals orange-yellow; under ar¬ 
tificial light it reminds you of a Large Chinese Lantern. Height, 5 feet.
