NEW GIANT COLLARETTE DAHLIAS. 
Every one is a giant in size, has a long, strong flower stem 
and extraordinary free blooming qualities. I cannot recommend 
this type too highly for cut flower purposes. 
Achievement. A large and fine Collarette. Ground color is clear 
rich velvet}' maroon, collar waxy white .... 
Autumn Tints. A beautiful Collarette of reddish orange shades, 
and yellow collar . 
Continental. Introduction of 1922. The following is the descrip¬ 
tion given this variety when grown at the American Dahlia 
Society trial garden in 1920: “Outer petals tyrian rose, collar 
pale greenish yellow striped with tyrian rose and white; 
early, free flowering, good stem.” Awarded certificate of 
merit ... 
Cpl. Ed. Drury. Flowers of splendid form, salmon terra cotta 
with neat yellow collar . 
Daffodil. Clear yellow with collar of slightly paler yellow. One 
\/ 
of the finest pure yellows ... 
Dainty. Soft rose suffused white, white collar . 
Eden. A very fine free flowering pure white . 
Ermine. This is, in my opinion, the finest pure white. Its stem, 
form, habits and substance are all of the best ... 
Geant de Lyon. ..An enormous flower of velvety maroon with a 
white collar. To most people it seems absolutely irresistible, 
even those who do not favor Collarettes cannot resist this 
Dahlia . 
Greenspark. A large brilliant yellow with collar of same color .... 
Herald. A large and beautifully colored flower, good habit and 
long flower stem .^.
