Green, black and blue dahlias as yet don’t exist. Any other color? Sure, 
you’ll find it in my list. 
ONE OF OUR xMANY DISPLAYS AT THE GARDEN ON PARADE AT 
NEW YORK WORLD’S FAIR 
Note the birthday cake, in the center of the display, made up of Pompon and 
miniatures, our own original idea. The cake was a pleasant surprise to the 
visitors. 
IN THE SMALL VARIETIES WE ARE OFFERING THE 
FOLLOWING WHICH ARE VERY GOOD 
SCHLING’S FAVORITE, C. (Schling)—An excellent minitature combined with 
all good qualities that a dahlia should have. Color old rose on the outer 
petals blended with Saffron yellow towards center of flower. Each petal 
is sprinkled with gold, which makes this flower very outstanding. Blooms 
are finely formed and borne on good long stems. Exceptionally fine plant 
with good branching habits, and insect resisting foliage. Free and profuse 
bloomer. This variety is unbeatable for basket work. An Introduction of 
Mr. Max Schling, Dean of the Florist in the U. S. Root $2.50 
MINTO (Hulin-Parrella)—A seedling of Gold Rose with much of the same forma¬ 
tion but a very lovely bright pink with more petals. It is the cupped type 
which is so attractive in the Miniature class. The blooms will average 3 
inches on perfectly stiff stems. A wonderful free bloomer and good keeper 
after cut. The lovers of the small types fall heavy for MINTO. No plants. 
Root $2.00 Net 
RED BONNET (Lee-Hulin)—One of the brightest little Miniatures we have 
ever grown. It is a small Formal of bright Cherry red, no other color. Med¬ 
ium low bushes are always covered with little spots of red. Reports from 
New York and Ohio report it as one of the best of all reds. If you like red 
this should please you well. Root $1.50 Net 
TOOTS (Lee-Hulin)—Another little classic of bright lavender, about 2 V 2 inches 
on long stiff stems. A lovely little flower for vases or basket work. Bushes 
medium tall with lots of bloom all season. This is one of the best and a 
large stock permits you to own it at Root $1.00 Net
