General List of Dahlias 
FEW OF THE LATER INTRODUCTIONS 
Mary Tallmadge— (Peck-Ailing) (I. D.) It is difficult these 
days to get a variety which is distinct or an improvement 
in color over existing varieties. This is decidely different, 
being a peculiar old rose shaded mulberry pink with a 
smoky overcast. The growing habits are ideal, long stems, 
strong plants with heavy leaf resisting foliage. It may be 
grown as large as the best of them and the blooms are pro¬ 
duced freely . Roots $10.00 Plants $5.00 
Barbara Ann—(I. D.) This bi-color flower is uniform in size 
and marking. Every plant is crowded with bloom and 
makes an outstanding attraction. Deep rose red with white 
tips; 6-7 inches in diameter; 4-5 inches deep without any 
disbudding .$ 5.00 
Rex—(I. D.) A combination of buff and light golden yellow, 
suffused with peach pink and golden sheen. The long petals 
face outwards making a very artistic bloom 10-12 inches in 
diameter, 5-7 inches deep on strong stems.$7.50 
Jessica Dragonette— (Semi Cac.) The color chart shows the 
color to be picric yellow, suffused with Venetian pink. How¬ 
ever, a description which we think more readily visualized 
would be peach and cream with a shading of deeper pink 
on the reverse of the petals .$ 3.00 
Hunt’s Velvet Wonder—(I. D.) Color is violet-purple and bur- 
gandy to true purple. Blooms are large deep and massive $ 3.00
