General List of World's Best Dahlias 
*ADOLPH MAYER S. C. This excellent variety from Holland comes nearer to being 
black than any dahlia in this list. The deep garnet red flowers are of good size; the 
petals have a velvety appearance: and it keeps well when cut. Stems are ideal. A 
strong, freely branching plant, with dark green foliage. Abundant flowering habits. 
It is also a good root maker. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50 
*ALICE MAY I. D. This one from Aus- 
tralia might well be described as a 
white Lord of Autumn. The blooms are 
large and of great depth. Stems, fol- 
iage, and substance are excellent. The 
low growing plants produce many fine 
exhibition blooms. We consider it the 
finest of all the large ‘whites. A very 
consistent winner at leading shows. 
Root $1.50, Plant .50 
ALICE MCLEAN S. C. (Lewis) An _ artis- 
tically formed flower with twisting, 
narrow petals. The color is a dark 
maroon-red with lighter reverse. Blooms 
are medium in size. 
Root $3.00, Plant $1.00 
ALL AMERICAN S. C. (Salem) A very 
large flower of mulberry rose suffused 
salmon and with wax yellow at the base 
of petals. Plants are medium in heighth, 
very vigorous and insect resistant. 
Blooms are held almost on top of 
strong, straight stems. A very free 
bloomer which was one of the greatest favorites in our gardens the past season. 
On the show tables it is almost in a class by itself, winning innumerable prizes 
wherever shown. Root $5.00, Plant $1.50 

ALICE MAY 
AMERICAN PURITY S. C. (American Dahlia Farms) One of the largest white semi 
cactus varieties. It is especially good late in the season, altho it isn't a partic- 
ularly late bloomer. It has more depth than any white in its class. 
Root $1.00, Plant .50 
ANGELUS In. C. (Parenica) A very large incurved cactus of striking color. The well 
formed flowers are borne well above the tall, vigorous bushes on perfect stems. 
The color is a deep blood red, shading to light lemon yellow at the base of the 
petals and at the tips. An early bloomer which produces a great number of flowers 
thruout the season. Very formidable on the exhibition tables. 
Root $1.50, Plant .50 
ANNA BENEDICT |. D. (Dahliadel) Always one of the most reliable and pleasing 
varieties in our gardens. The tall bushes are covered with rich, deep garnet red 
flowers thruout a long season. The flowers are of good substance and are carried 
well above the tall bushes on fine stems. Root .75
