Decorative Dahlia, Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt 
An exquisite new Dahlia that because of its fine color and elegant form may 
well be considered one of the best of its type. The flowers are large and of a 
very pleasing shade of mauve-pink. A strong grower, it produces an abund¬ 
ance of bloom on stout stems well above the foliage. A valuable addition to 
any collection. Price, field-grown roots, 50c. each, $5.00 per doz. 
IALONY-FLOWERED DAHLIAS 
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 Pajonies in appearance. They bloom 
profusely, have long stems and so are specially fitted for cut flower 
decoration in addition to their value for garden use. 
Germania. The color is an extremely soft rich strawberry red. The 
flower is large and graceful with full loose petals. 
Glory of Baarn. A very peculiar shade of light rose, softened with 
pinkish shadings. Very large and gracefully disposed flowers. 
Geisha. A most striking color combination, golden yellow, 
changing to bright scarlet at the center of the petal and back to 
gold at the tip. Petals uniquely twisted and curled, making 
the color effect all the more attractive. 
Price, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. (Field-grown roots.) 
Prairie Fire. Flowers of fair size, vivid flame scarlet and held 
on long stiff stems, well above the plant, rendering it extremely 
graceful and decorative and of the best for cutting. Price, 
field-grown roots, 35c. each, $3.50 per doz. 
Princess Victoria Louise. This is sometimes classed as a “ Decor¬ 
ative," but it is really one of the Pajony-flowcred type. Color 
a beautiful deep rose pink, clear and effective. Very broad 
petals. 
Price, except where noted, 25c. each, set of 5 sorts for 
$1.50. 
“SXMK™ MONS. CAPRON

flowers on long stems that stand in good condition longer than 
most kinds. The color is old-rose mottled dark rose-pink; 
flowers large and full. Very free blooming. Price, 35c. each, 
$3.50 per doz. (Field grown roots.) 
DE DAHLIA VL PAPA CHARMET 
A wonderfully rich shade of coral-red overlaid with a darker 
shade of velvety maroon. The flowers are of good size under 
normal conditions and by disbudding flowers six inches or over 
across may be had. The habit is ideal, compact, medium height 
and branching. The demand for Dahlias as cut flowers is constantly 
increasing and this fine variety is unsurpassed for that purpose. (See
