New type Dwarf Dahlia 
Canna, King Humbert 
New Dwarf Dahlias 
For the Garden and for Forcins 
This new race of Dwarf Dahlias has created quite a sensation. They 
are wonderful subjects for garden planting, forming dwarf, compact 
plants which bloom throughout the summer until frost. The flowers, 
which are produced in great profusion, are seldom over 4 inches in 
diameter. They have proved themselves very useful as subjects for forc¬ 
ing, to bloom for spring sales. Divisions potted in January and grown 
cool can easily be brought in for Mother’s Day in fine shape. 
Tubers of these New Dwarf Dahlias ready for delivery now. 
CHRISTINE. Small, dainty, pure white flowers. 
EASTER GREETING. The white flowers are of better form than 
Christine and somewhat larger, but not as early. 
ELSIE. Deep golden yellow at center, passing to rich orange-<armine 
toward the tips of petals. Flowers are of good size and of Semi-Cactus 
form. 
GERTRUDE. Clear sulphur-yellow flowers of good size. 
KATE. Showy bright scarlet flowers of formal contour. 
MARIA. This is a decided' Improvement on Easter Greeting, and has 
already displaced that variety largely in Europe for forcing purpmses.

URSULA. I ntense crimson Informal Decorative with carmine reverse. 
Flowers comparatively large. 
Price, any of the above, 40c. each; doz., $3.75; $25.00 per 100
