CAVALCADE. A new Dahlia with a great future. 
The shape of Cavalcade is similar to Jersey’s 
Beauty, though it is a much larger flower. The 
color is exquisite, a rich deep rose with a slight 
glint of gold, just enough to give it a tone more 
beautiful in richness than any other rose Dahlia 
yet introduced. Blooms freely, the bushes covered 
with the wonderful blooms, make Cavalcade 
outstanding for decorative use. Each $1.00. 
HILLCREST MANDARIN. A very large Dahlia of 
the informal type. It is of brilliant pirate red with 
amber reverse, a startlingly beautiful color com¬ 
bination that will please you. An Honor Roll 
Dahlia and one of the finest of all the recent 
introductions. Each 75c. 
THE COMMODORE. An immense flower in bright 
golden yellow, of the informal Decorative type.

JANE COWL. Glorious golden buff and old gold, 
blending into rich apricot and deep rose at the

it takes to make a perfect Dahlia—mammoth 
blooms, plenty of them, on good stems, a husky 
plant and a sure grower. Truly a striking Dahlia. 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY. Finest of all pinks, and one of 
the most popular Dahlias today. Splendid for 
the home garden, exhibition purposes or for com¬
