MINIATURE 
DECORATIVE 
AND 
WATERLILY 
DAHLIAS 
For cutflowers and all-round satis- 
factory performance in your gar- 
den, these types are unsurpassed. 
(Waterlily Dahlias are miniature 
decorative types which have some- 
what the appearance of water- 
lilies. They also tend to cup up 
and close at night. Culture is 
identical with all other Dahlias.) 
Gerry Hoek, pictured here, was 
by far the most widely used Dahlia 
on the Portland florist market this 
year. Hundreds of dozens were 
used by discriminating artists in 
the creation of their choice floral 
designs and arrangements. All 
the varieties offered here are fine 
cutflowers and at least several 
should be in every garden. Flow- 
ers are about twice the size shown 
here, and one plant may bear up 
to several hundred blooms in one

Gimpei. A “freak” flower much admired and ordered in 
our garden. Red, pink and white with the predominating 
flower varying even on the same bush. Very unusual. 
Glory of Heemstede. The best addition to this type in

the outstanding cutflower varieties. See illustration...
