New Giant Fancy Decorative Dahlia 
m ' a 
I Paeony-Flowered Dahlias. I 
This very interesting type adds zest to the wide spread interest in this 
useful flower. The flowers of this type are very large, averaging eight inches 
across when well grown. The petals are broad and ribbon-like, the center 
shows, adding an artistic charm, closely resembling the semi-double Paeonies 
in appearance. They bloom profusely, have long stems and so are 
specially fitted for cut flowers decoration in addition to their value for 
garden use. 
Germania. One of the best Dahlias of the “Peony Flowered" type. The 
color is an extremely soft rich strawberry red. The flower is large and 
graceful with full, loose petals. The great abundance of large, magnifi¬ 
cent blossoms makes this one of the most showy and desirable Dahlias. 
Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Glory of Baarn. A very peculiar shade of light rose, softened with pinkish 
shadings. Very large and gracefully disposed flowers 
MRS. CHARLES L. SEYBOLD. A new variety in this interesting type and 
a great acquisition. It is deep rose-pink edged with white, very attractive. 
It blooms most abundantly and continuously, has long stems and is 
splendid for cut flowers. The habit of the plant is free and branching, 
with its wealth of flowers this variety stands out amongst hundreds. 
(See cut.) Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Prairie Fire. “ Plant of medium height, spreading habit and not only 
the most profuse bloomer of all Paeony flowered varieties, but of all 
Dahlias. Flowers of fair size, vivid flame scarlet and held on long stiff 
stems, well above the plant, rendering it extremely graceful and decor¬ 
ative and of the best for cutting." 
Price, field-grown roots, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Victoria Louise. This is sometimes classed as a “Decorative." 
but it is really one of the Paeony flowered type. Color a beautiful deep 
rose pink, clear and effective. Very broad petals. 
Queen Whilhelmina. A pure white variety and in this the golden yellow 
center shows to unusual and distinct advantage. A splendid contrast 
to the other sorts. 
Price, except where noted, 25c. each, set of 6 sorts for $1.50. 
LE GRAND MANITOU. 
This is without doubt the best variegated Dahlia of the “Decorative" type. 
The flowers are from 5 to 6 inches across. The ground color is white, prettily 
marbled, veined, striped and blotched with reddish-violet in beautiful and inde¬ 
scribable variegation. Occasionally this variety runs a solid color, as is the case 
with most variegated Dahlias, when it is a most beautiful shade of 
reddish-violet. It blooms profusely, has long stems and so is spe¬ 
cially valuable for cutting. ( See cut.) 
Price, field grown roots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
FANCY 
DECORATIVE DAHLIA, 
To admirers of the dainty and fanciful this unique variety will be 
rapturously welcomed. It is indeed a beautiful sort, a soft creamy 
white with distinct violet-crimson on the tips of the petals. The latter 
color extends downwards, lessening towards the center, producing 
a charming effect. A most distinct and attractive sort. It is a “de¬ 
corative” variety, of medium size and a most prolific bloomer. 
Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. (Field grown roots.)

oriental red. Price, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. (Field grown roots.)

rative” type; a giant in size. The color is a soft silvery-pink deepening to a 
rosy-pink on the edges of the petals, the latter shade being more pronounced at 
times. The center is soft, creamy-white, showing more distinct as the flower 
ages. The habit is splendid, long stems and fine foliage; it blooms abundantly.
