stems well above the foliage. A valuable addition to any collection. Price, field- 
grown roots, 50c. each; S5.00 per doz. If wanted by Parcel Post add Postage at Zone

SM/^dahua le grand manitou 
This is without doubt the best variegated Dahlia of the “Decorative type. 
The flowers are from 5 to G inches across. The ground color is white, prettily 
marbled, veined, striped and blotched with reddish-violet in beautiful and 
indescribable 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 
specially valuable for cutting. (See engraving.) Price, field-grown roots, 
50c each; $5.00 per doz. If wanted by Parcel Post add Postage at
