DAHLIAS 
ORCHID FLOWERING 
Price: 3 plants 75c, $3.00 per dozen, $20.00 per 100 
Used as a cut-flower on a dinner or luncheon table, or in vases 
around a room, their graceful airiness is most pronounced. They 
are of the earliest possible culture, if they are planted and allowed 
to grow naturally, and will produce wonderful bushy plants, two 
to three feet in height, literally covered with blossoms. Trimmed, 
back three or four main stems to a plant, and staked, larger 
sprays and better flowers will be produced. The graceful curve 
of the petal prompted the name Orchid Flowering.

MIGNON DAHLIAS 
To meet the wishes of a great number of customers who wish to 
carry out individual color schemes in the garden, we have the 
following list of individual named Mignon Dahlias to offer them 
with their respective colors. These Dahlias are the delight of all 
the visitors to our gardens and are greatly admired by everyone 
who sees them. Plants do not attain a height of over IS inches 
and some of them carry as high as 65 flowers open on the plant 
at one time. These Dahlias when grown naturally and used purely 
for decorative purposes must not be over-fed because feeding 
them will cause them to run into rampant growth and produce 
less flowers. Delivery April 15 onwards. Price: 50c each, $5.00 
per dozen, $35.00 per 100. 
Innocence—Purest possible white with perfect flowers produced 
in immense masses. 
Golden Sunbeams—A cheerful yellow variety making a nice spot 
of color in the garden and a beautiful subject. 
Bronze Angel—A lovely shade of bronze, particularly striking in 
the fall as it blends so well with Autumn foliage and the tints 
peculiar to that season. 
Cardinal’s Cloak—An odd shade of deep pink, shading even 
deeper towards the center. 
Maroon Abundance—One of the most vivid colors in the entire 
set. A shade of color not often seen in garden flowers. 
Scarlet Soldier—Identically the same shade of scarlet as appears 
on the coats of the guards in Buckingham Palace. Gorgeously 
striking color that can be seen at considerable distance. 
ASSORTED COLLECTION

flowers are required during the summer months. These single 
Dahlias attain a height of 15 to 18 inches and begin to flower in 
late June continuing doing so until early frost. The following

dozen, $20.00 per 100.
