SUMMER FLOWERING BULBS 
BRAINARD’S SELECT DAHLIAS 
As in other classes of plants, our one viewpoint is to offer, in Dahlias, not a long list 
of varieties, but rather the best in their respective types and colors. 
The following are supplied in strong, dormant root divisions. 
Adorable (Decorative). Large flowers of beauti¬ 
ful color, peach shading to orange-gold at cen¬ 
ter, borne on long, erect stems. Strong grower. 
50c each. 
Alyce Marie Calvin (Decorative). Very large 
flowers, white with a faint tone of cameo-pink. 
Strong, vigorous grower. 25c each. 
Alice Stellick (Decorative). White petals edged 
and tipped a beautiful dark red. Very tall grower; 
large flowers on good stems. 50c each. 
Avalon. A handsome decorative Dahlia of rather 
formal type of a deep canary yellow; very large 
flowers always full to the center, and borne on 
long, erect stems. Plant of robust habit; profuse 
bloomer. 25c each. 
Cavalcade (Decorative). A splendid addition to 
the cutflower Dahlias. Similar in formation and 
plant growth to the well-known Jersey’s Beauty, 
but the flower is larger. An attractive shade of 
rich deep rose. 40c each. 
City of Cleveland (Decorative). Very large flowers 
of orange red, often described as rust red. 
Plants are strong, vigorous and profuse bloom¬ 
ers. The best in its color class. 75c each. 
Clara Carder (Decorative). Blooms are a beauti¬ 
ful bright pink, on long stems; plants are not 
tall, but strong and vigorous. Profuse bloomer. 
50c each. 
Corallina (Semi-Cactus). Handsome flowers of 
brick red tipped yellow, beautiful wavy petals. 
Good grower and profuse bloomer. 75c each. 
Cornelia B. Pinchot (Decorative). Huge, heavy, 
deep blooms of rich glowing burgundy red, on 
long, stiff stems; strong, vigorous plants. One 
of the very largest Dahlias to date. 75c each. 
Elkridge. (Hybrid Cactus). A splendid white. Good 
size flowers on fine stems, firm texture making 
it particularly fine for cutting. 35c each. 
Eva Quadling (Decorative). Immense flowers of 
ox-blood red on good, strong stems. Strong 
grower. 30c each. 
Ida Perkins. (Decorative). A very fine pure, clear 
white. Flowers early and continuously. A new 
white of exceptional merit. 35c each. 
Jane Cowl. (Decorative). The massive flowers with 
their delicately curled and twisted petals of glis¬ 
tening bronzy-buff blending to old gold, and 
deepening at the center make this one of the 
finest garden and exhibition Dahlias. 35c each. 
Jersey’s Beauty. (Decorative). We believe one of 
the best all around Dahlias. Large beautiful true 
pink flowers of perfect form on long strong 
straight stems. Excellent keeper as a cut flower.

deep golden yellow on long, strong stems; 
strong, vigorous grower. One of the best yel¬
