best flowers. We offer a fine list of named varieties in all colors embracing 
the Cactus, Decorative and Show Dahlias, including that famous variety 
Countess of Lonsdale. 75 cents per dozen J $6.00 per hundred. 
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 flowers instead of being a salmon-pink 
as in Lonsdale, Springfield is a rich amaranthine-red. 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. Each, 30 cents; 
$3.00 per dozen. 
New Cut-Flower Dahlia, Springfield. 
PEONY-FLOWERED DAHLIAS 
This is a new family of Dahlias, originating in Holland. 
They bear semi-double blooms, and are without question the | 
showiest of all Dahlias. Be sure to try them. Fine for cut j 
flowers. Price, except where noted, $2.00 per dozen; $15.00 
per hundred. 
BERTHA VON SUTTNER —Blush-rose tinted salmon-pink; j 
flue. ! 
GEISHA —The pride of the Peony-flowered Dahlias. This most 
sensational variety is the showiest and most attractive of 
this type in existence. The wonderful 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 acquisition is remarkable and at¬ 
tracts everybody’s attention. It is a superb combination of 
brilliant scarlet and gold with an exquisite ring of rich, 
clear yellow at the center. Occasionally 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 original, 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.

like huge butterflies on the plant. They are so light and

CENTURY DAHLIAS

today that the new Century Dahlias occupy first, place where 
beauty of coloring and artistic effect is desired. Owing to 
their immense size, long stems, graceful carriage combined with 
their purity of color, or the blending of colors, shades and 
tints, they entirely outclass all other Dahlias for cut flowers.
