^p'T TO Decorative-Paeony. The illustration gives only the form of this largest and most wonderful of all Dahlias. 
This bloom was 10^8 inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. It has not only size and a cane stiff stem, 
but beautiful form as shown by the photograph. The color is a wonderfully rich glowing red, each petal distinctly 
tipped yellow. A giant without a trace of heaviness. So artistically built and richly colored that it attracts, it holds, 
it fascinates. The plant is medium dwarf, 3 to 4 ft. high, as we grow it in field; strong, sturdy, healthy and vigorous. 
A free and continuous bloomer. Strong plants ready May 1st. $10.00 each. A few roots until exhausted $25.00 each. 
NEW INTRODUCTIONS FOR 1924 
DREAM O’ LOVE Paeony. One of the most strikingly effective of this class. The flowers are of 
large size and beautiful form, with outer petals reflexed, whorled and twisted; 
while the inner petals are also whorled and twisted, but incurve. The color is the brightest, most luminous 
geranium red, richly shaded, and each petal is distinctly tipped yellow. The flowers have great depth and 
substance; are splendid for cutting and decorations. The plant is a very sturdy grower, of branching habit 
and produce the flowers freely on stiff stems; making it an ideal garden plant. Roots $2.00 each; plants $1.00. 
DR. STEM Paeony. The best of all red paeony flowered dahlias. Entirely distinct in every way. 
The early flowers are 8 to 10 inches in diameter, are produced erect on cane stiff stems and 
are full to the center. The later flowers are of the same size but of beautiful paeony form, in many cases the 
yellow center is completely covered with fantastically formed inner petals. The color is a bright scarlet red, 
reflex engenia red. The plant is a sturdy, vigorous grower. An acquisition that will find its way into every 
paeony collection. 4 ft. Roots $5.00; plants $2.50.
