MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
Baby Royal, S. C. —A new Gold Medal miniature from 
England and one of the most outstanding prize winner* so far 
introduced in this class, always winning the blue-ribbon wher¬ 
ever exhibited. It is a beautiful little flower of salmon-pink 
and apricot with gold shading. Stems are long and wiry and 
blooms are of most graceful formation as florets are rolled and 
incurved. A fine commercial cut-flower variety due to its free 
blooming and long keeping qualities, and always in demand by 
florists. We could not begin to supply the demand from the 
local cut-flower trade for cut blooms of this variety the past 
season. This little flower stole the whole dahlia show last 
fall _Roots .25

towards the tips of the petals. Perfect decorative 2!4 to 3 
inches in diameter, with perfect stems, and are produced in 
great profusion on plants about 3 feet high. It is one of 
the very best keepers when cut, and we believe it is one of 
the best miniature for florists’ use, ever introduced. A dainty 
little dahlia that will become as popular and be as extensively 
grown as the famous Jersey’s Beauty-Roots .25

PLANTS 
We have found that if plants are started and grown properly, 
they will produce as good, if not better, results than roots. 
All our plants are grown from base cuttings from selected 
stock, and grown in special containers, which are equivalent 
to about a four inch flower pot. 
We recommend planting out from May 10th to June 25th in 
this locality.

The size of the flowers, and the height of' the plants, given 
in this catalog, will vary in different locations. We give the 
approximate dimensions as they grew this last year in our 
gardens.
