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. 
New type Dwarf Dahlia 
Three New Dwarf Dahlias 
ELEANOR. A real acquisition. The 4 to 5-inch decorative flowers 
are produced in great profusion throughout the summer months 
and until checked by freezing. The plant seldom grows over 15 
inches high, and the foliage is practically hidden by the brilliant 
orange-crimson flowers. 
GERDA. Very double 5 to 6-inch lilac-rcse flowers are freely pro¬ 
duced throughout the summer and fall on vigorous, healthy plants. 
This variety is particularly commendable because of its superior 
vitality. 
RUBY MAY. The plant grows to a height of about feet. Flowers 
are a brilliant carmine-crimson of Semi-Cactus form, 5 to 6 inches 
in diameter. A welcome addition to this class. 
Above varieties in pot-plants only. Ready after May 1 
Any of above, 35c. each; doz. $3.50; $25.00 per 100 
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-carmine 
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. 
LENA. A lovely light pink color. 
MARIA. This is a decided improvement on Easter Greeting, and has 
already displaced that variety largely in Europe for forcing purposes. 
Strong, vigorous grower and produces a superior flower. 
ROSALIE. Lilac -rose blooms shading lighter toward the center. 
URSULA. Intense crim.son Informal Decorative with carmine reverse. 
Flowers comparatively large. 
Price, any of the above 3-inch pot plants, 25c. each; doz. $2.50; 
$15.00 per 100
