Decorative Dahlia, JEANNE CHARMET 
A magnificent variety of the broad-petaled “ Decora¬ 
tive ” 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. (See cut.) 
Price, field grown roots, 40c. each, $4.00 per doz. 
a New Type, Paeony-Flowered Dahlias.

esting type and a great acquisition. It is deep rose-

is free and branching, with its wealth of flowers this 
variety stands out amongst hundreds. (See cut.)
