date. The flowers are large, of beautiful Cactus form

stiff, erect stems. Price, 25c. each, §2.50 per doz.

New "Collarette" Dahlias. 
This rare and striking type is distinguished by the 
peculiar development of the stamens at the base of the 
main petals, becoming in fact secondary petals in 
appearance. They are entirely distinct from the rest 
of the flower in form and color and form a frill or 
collar around the center. These new varieties are 
semi-double and are even more unique than the original. 
Exposition de Lyon. Rich crimson with creamy yellow 
“ collarette,” the latter showing under the upper 
petals, thus forming a double row. Many flowers 
show 18 petals. (See cut.) 
La Fusee. Deep claret-crimson with white “collarette,” 
large yellow center; semi-double, foliage finely cut. 
Orphee. Deep, rich cerise with yellow at the base of 
the petals. Creamy white collarette with large yellow 
center. Flowers well formed and freely produced. 
President Viger. The first of the “collarette” class, a 
single-flowered variety. Rich, deep blood-red, shad¬ 
ing darker towards the base of the petals, with 
pure white collar, occasionally suffused with rosy- 
carmine. Markedly distinct and blooms abundantly. 
Price for the above, 35c. each; set of 4 for SI.25.
