Margie Parrella the dahlia, a gold mine to the Florist Trade. 
CHATTAQUA SALUTE (F. D.)—This dahlia is by far the purest white of any 
dahlia known to date, and a prolific bloomer. The flowers, which average 
between 7 and 8 inches across, literally cover the strong growing bush with 
blooms, giving it the effect of a huge bouquet. Height, 4^/^ feet. 
Roots 35c 
CITY OF WELLSTON F. D.—This is what I believe to be the greatest flower 
of its coloring ever put on the Market. Color, Rhodamlne purple, reverse 
rose purple, bourne in abundant profusion from early summer until killed 
by frost. Height, 5 feet. Roots 35c 
CLARA CARDER I. D. (New Zealand)—Certainly one of the best, and a great 
exhibition variety, of clear cyclamen pink; largest flowers on great stems. 
Roots 50c 
CORONATION (Pike-Parrella) I. D.—True type. Deep dark purple with velvety 
sheen; reverse of the center showing very dark color. The petals are rather 
large but have grace. The formation is perfect. Blooms average 10 to 11 
inches in diameter with a very good depth. The foliage is very attractive, 
and insect resistant and has a tendency to fall gracefully like a willow tree. 
Height of plant 5 ft. On Mr. Barron’s Honor Roll. Roots $2.00 
DAHLIA CRAFT S. C. (Modern Dahlia Gardens) THE UNBEATEN CHAM¬ 
PION. A light canary yellow, 10 in. to 12 in., to 8 in. deep, long, graceful 
stems, holds flower erect, an ideal keeper. Bush 5 ft. Roots $3.50 
DARCY SAINSBURY F. D.—One of the finest whites we ever grew. This dahlia 
came to us from AUSTRALIA. This is a champion, without exaggerating. 
The immense blooms are erect on cane-like stems, facing sideways. Height 
of plants 414 feet. Roots $2.00 
DEAN ANDERSON (Mad River Gardens) I. D.—Gratifying indeed are the many 
glowing reports we have on this great Dahlia. A true exhibition type, of a 
rare, new color,—radiant henna orange. Extra long, strong stems, holding 
the very large flowers in an ideal position. Bushes about four and a half 
feet when grown in the full sun. Most luxuriant insect-free foliage. 
Root $2.00

to 12 inches or more. Color, apricot buff, reverse old rose, with a concen¬ 
tration of old rose at center. A free bloomer, with fine stem. 
Root $3.50 
DISCOVERY (Salem) I. D.—Huge flowers of deep rosy magenta with a deep 
reddish garnet center. An excellent variety to force for a large size.
