We Are Headquarters For The Finest Commercial Cut-Flower 
DAHLIAS 
This revised catalog contains many important ad¬ 
ditions to the list of meritorious Dahlias. We invite your 
special attention to the fine Cactus kinds that have come 
from Europe in the past few years — Miss Belgium, Frau 
O'Bracht, Ballego's Surprise, Baerne, Yellow Marvel, etc 
These varieties are particularly useful to commercial 
growers for they have this combination of fine traits —- 
good stems, best keeping qualities, graceful form and 
splendid colors. 
We have discontinued several kinds that we feel are 
no longer of value but stocks are still available of most 
of them and we will be happy to quote upon request. 
We have again reduced our prices in furtherance 
of our known policy of supplying a condensed list of the 
World's Finest Dahlias at reasonable prices. 
In thanking our old customers, who stay with us year 
after year, we can tell new buyers that we do everything 
possible to merit a continuance of their patronage. 
The initials behind each variety designate (I. D.) Informal Dec¬ 
orative; (F. D.) Formal Decorative; (C.) Cactus; (S. C.) Semi Cactus.

red. An excellent variety for either commercial 
growing or garden planting. 10 
BALLEGO'S SURPRISE. (S.C.) A fine new semi- 
cactus white from FJolland. Formation is very 
similar to Frau O'Bracht but the flower is 
deeper and has more petals. This variety is 
well spoken of by all who have grown it and now 
that the price is lower we are sure it will rank 
high as a commercial cut flower. 40 
BLUE JERSEY. (F.D.) This is a true sport of Jer¬ 
seys' Beauty and has all of the parent's fine 
qualities. Color is orchid lavender and since 
we introduced it to the trade a few years ago 
it has become a leader among commercial 
kinds.-. 07

salmon. Large flowers on long stems. Good 
clean flower. Flowers profusely all season. 20
