THE NAMED DELPHINIUMS ARE SUPERB 


Dwarf Bedding Dahlias 
UNWIN’S IDEAL BEDDING. HHP. Graceful, semi-double 
flowers are borne very freely and embrace a very wide range of 
color, those of no two plants being exactly alike. They make very 
fine cut-flowers, blooming from June until frost. They bloom 
within 3 to 34% months from time of sowing. Plant 18 to 20 
inches apart. 24 inches high. Pkt. 25 cts.; large pkt. 75 cts. 
COLTNESS HYBRIDS, IMPROVED STRAIN. HHP. For a 
number of years a Dahlia specialist has been devoting a great deal 
of time to developing a better strain of the fine dwarf bedding 
single Dahlia, Coltness Hybrids. We now offer this superior 
strain with a greatly increased range of colors. Shades of canary- 
yellow, scarlet, terra cotta, apricot, crimson, pink, purple, maroon, 
buff, cream, and white are some of the outstanding additions. See 
color plate, second cover page. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
DOBBIE’S NEW ORCHID-FLOWERED. HHP. A Single 
Dahlia of medium size; its peculiar form of petals, which curl 
over toward their centers, has given rise to its name. Colors are 
almost bewildering in their variety and blending, while the reverse 
of the petals is distinct from the ground-color, and often the 
petals are fluted and pointed. Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts. 
ZULU STRAIN, MIXED. HHP. Most effective for bedding. 
The plants are compact, of medium height (about 3 feet), and 
carry double flowers, mostly of varying tones of crimson and 
scarlet, but with the addition of a few orange and golden colors. 
Pkt. 20 cts.; large pkt. 50 cts.

claimed not only by amateurs but also by experts as the most 
prominent in America. Beautifully proportioned spikes, 3 to 5 feet 
in height, with only 1 to 2 feet of foliage. The stems are of a thin,
