THE GOOD & REESE COMPANY, FLORISTS AND SEEDSMEN. 
DAHLIAS 
Within the last year or two a wonderful revival of 
interest In the Dahlia lias resulted in their now being 
important rivals of those standard bedding plants, the 
Ganna and the Geranium. This to a great extent is 
due to the introduction of the dwarf, profuse bloom¬ 
ing varieties that a few years ago were unheard of. 
We offer a collection of the best Cactus, show, Pompon 
and decorative Dahlias, in red, white, yellow, pink, 
variegated and all intermediate shades. They are the 
cream of over five hundred varieties, selected after 
critical examination, and combining in a superlative 
degree purity of color, perfection of form, free and 
continuous flowering, and they succeed under the most 
ordinary garden culture. All of the Dahlias offered are 
for field grown roots to bloom this summer. Price, 
for field grown roots of Dahlias, 10 cents each; 75 cents 
per dozen; $5.50 per 100.

cut flowers under the same treatment as Violets. 40 
cents per dozen; $3.00 per 100.

and so easily handled. Price, 40 cents per dozen; $2.50

DOUBLE-FLOWERING MARGUERITE, 
“QUEEN ALEXANDRA” 
The New Anemone-flowered Marguerite or Paris Daisy 
The single flowering Paris Daisy has, for many 
years, been a favorite, not only as a cut flower, but 
also as a decorative pot plant, during the winter 
months, and we predict for this pretty double-flowered 
form even a greater future. The flowers are from two 
and one-half to three inches in diameter, and of a 
pure white color, the greatest percentage of these 
coming full double, not unlike an Anemone-flowered 
Japanese Chrysanthemum, but even the semi-double 
and single flowers, which appear on the same plant, 
are very handsome. 50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per 100. 
SHASTA DAISIES 
(New.) The Shasta Daisy is one of the most mar¬ 
velous productions in the flower line that has ever been 
brought to the notice of floriculturists. It is the first of 
a new type, which has been obtained by hybridization 
and rigid selection through a series of years. Its first 
qualification is extreme hardiness. Second, it is peren¬ 
nial, blooming better and more abundantly each sea¬ 
son. Third, it is not so particular as to soil. Fourth, 
it blooms for several months. Fifth, the flowers are 
extremely large and graceful, averaging about four 
inches in diameter, with petals of the purest glistening 
whiteness, which are borne on single, long, stiff, wiry 
stems. Sixth, the blooms when cut remain perfectly 
fresh and in good condition for two weeks or more. 
No other flower can compare with it for usefulness. 
50 cents per dozen; $3.50 per 100.
