Exhibition Collection 
We have selected for this collection those varieties 
which consistently won at shows this past fall. Each 
variety has been selected for its high rating on all 
desirable characteristics and because its color, size or 
form seemed distinctly above average.

Cut Flower Collection 
We list below a collection for cut flower purposes. 
In our opinion each one is the best in its color, con¬ 
sidered on the basis of keeping, shipping and adapt¬ 
ability to decorative work. The collection includes a 
complete range of color and each is very free-flow¬ 
ering. 
CURLEY LOCKS. Golden apricot. 
FIRE BALL. Fiery red. 
MISS OAKLAND. White. 
NEGUS. Maroon. 
OAKLEIGH MONARCH. Rich crimson. 
PRIDE OF AUSTINBURG. Bronzy pink. 
C.—Cactus. Flowers double, 
petals curved and twisted 
with fluted points. 
S.C.—Semi - Cactus. Flowers 
double, petals shorter than 
Cactus type but broad, flat, 
recurved and twisted. 
F.D.—Formal Decorative. Dou¬ 
ble flowers, full to center. 
I.D. —Informal Decorative 
Flowers fully double. Floral 
rays generally long, twisted 
and unusually irregular in ar¬ 
rangement. 
P.—Peony-Flowered. Flowers 
semi - double with two or 
three rows of broad, flat, 
loosely aranged petals sur¬ 
rounding an open center. 
The inner petals curved and 
twisted. 
B.—Ball or Show. Ball-shaped, 
full to center, petals more or 
less quilled. 
Great care has been exercised in compiling our list of 
Dahlias and we feel that the varieties printed in capitals on 
the following pages are the best varieties yet introduced for 
exhibition or for cut flowers. 
All prices quoted are for strong tubers. Pot grown plants, 
for delivery in May, can be supplied at one-half the price 
of the tuber. No plants of varieties where tubers are 75c or 
less in price. 
2 Tubers of each $12.00 
(12 tubers) 
6 Tubers of each $33.00 
(36 tubers)
