Little Silver, N. J. Dahlias of Quality 

NEW RACE OF MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
Originated by J. A. Kemp. 
Now being offered for the first time, and will be known as 
Zulu Miniatures 
The name Zulu is given them to distinguish them from the green 
foliaged miniatures. Some have almost black foliage, while others 
have a lighter bronze red foliage. All are very desirable and the 
sharp contrast between the dark foliage and various colors of the 
flowers is an outstanding feature of this new strain. Excellent for 
border planting, bedding and general decorative purposes. The 
names given them are mostly of African origin. We believe them 
to be absolutely proof against insects as we have never seen insects 
of any kind on them, not even Japanese Beetles nor Corn Borers.

be planted over 16 inches apart in border or bed. It is a beau-

ZUNI—(No. 38-09). This tiny bi-colored dahlia is a fine bedding 
companion to the Scarlet Bedder. The two-toned single flowers are 
about 3 inches across, the colors being Vandyke red, and Rhodo- 
mine Purple. Foliage very dark and glossy. Slightly stronger 
grower than the Scarlet Bedder, and not quite as numerously 
branched, therefore it should not be planted over 14 inches apart 
in the border or bed. These two bedders are always neat and 
clean, as they shed the old pedals quickly, and the seed pods 
remain fresh appearing until cut down by frost. 
Roots each $1.00, Plants each $0.60
