at tips. If there is a prettier or freer blooming Dahlia than 
this one we do not know it. $2.50 per dozen; $15.00 per 
hundred. 
GEISHA (Peony)— This most sensational variety is the show¬ 
iest and most attractive of this type in existence. The won¬ 
derful flowers are renowned for their excellent qualities: 
being exceptionally beautiful in color, perfect in form, grand 
in appearance and immense in size. The color of this ac¬ 
quisition is remarkable and attracts everybody’s attention. 
It is a superb combination of brilliant scarlet and gold with 
an exquisite ring of rich, clear yellow at the center. Oc¬ 
casionally the first flower comes fully double, but all that 
follow show that beautiful golden center which combines to 
make this flower the most charming. Its form is very orig¬ 
inal, consisting of peculiarly twisted and curled petals. The 
effect of these phenomenal flowers is most pleasing, giving 
this variety the supreme place as the showiest Dahlia in 
existence. $3.00 per dozen; $20.00 per hundred. 
GOLDEN GATE, The sensational new Yellow Cactus Dahlia— 
Introduced in 1914. An exceptionally sure and free bloomer, 
the largest and best flowering Dahlia in existence. So vig¬ 
orous in growth that we advise to pinch out tip when stalk 
shows 6 to 8 joints to make plant to branch out and grow 
into bush form. Your garden is not complete without this 
wonderful Chrysanthemum-like Queen of the Carden Dahlias. 
Dazzling golden-yellow; grand for cut flowers. $3.50 per 
dozen; $25.00 per hundred. 
MINNIE BURGLE (Decorative) —This is one of the freest flow¬ 
ering varieties in our fields, often thirty to forty large, per¬ 
fect open flowers on one plant at a time being not unusual. 
The color is a rich intense luminous dark scarlet on long, 
stiff stems. Splendid both for cutting and for garden deco¬ 
rations. This Dahlia created a sensation at the San Fran¬ 
cisco Exposition. $3.00 per dozen; $20.00 per hundred. 
QUEEN OF HEARTS— The best white Cactus ever introduced. 
It is all the originator claims, and will in time replace all 
other white Cactus sorts. Pure white, shading to lemon-yel¬ 
low at base of petals, which are very long, tubular and in¬ 
curving ; very free bloomer on long stems. $3.50 per dozen; 
$25.00 per hundred. 
New Cactus Dahlia Springfield. 
NEW CACTUS DAHLIA SPRINGFIELD— A new Dahlia of our 
own introduction. It is identical with Countess of Lonsdale 
except in two essentials. It has a darker stem and the flow¬ 
ers instead of being salmon-pink, as in Lonsdale, Springfield 
is a rich amaranthine-red. No one can describe its color 
as it is an entirely new break in colors for Dahlias. Its 
beauty cannot be described. No Dahlia blooms freer, no 
Dahlia is as pretty as Springfield. It lasts longer cut than 
any Dahlia we know. This is without question the greatest 
of all Dahlias. Be sure and try Springfield. $2.50 per doz¬ 
en; $15.00 per hundred.
