These Dahlias, of recent in! reduction, are, in our es- timation, the finest in cultivation. Livonia—Mower stems long, ami tl lor of the large perfect blossoms is a soft, sweet, sea-shell pin rare as it is beautiful. In our opinion the most beau- tiful Dahlia in cultivation. Flowers perfect and freely produced. Clifford W. Bruton—The finest pure yellow decorative Dahlia. Of immense size, 5 to 6 inches in diameter; of full Chrysanthemum form, ami full to tin ni'T. A strong vigorous grower, and an extremely profuse bloomer for so large a flower. Zulu—The black Dahlia. A larg form and jet black color. A gr Floral Park Jewel—Flow maroon to blush white, including beautifu and variegated forms, are borne in great i on t he same plant at the same time. In fact a pi will hardly ever produce two (lowers alike. B white, crimson-maroon, white suffused with mar maroon suffused with white, crim spotted, marked or marbled white, s and striped with maroon, pink or crims( colors suffused in an odd and irregular eeeding beauty of a plant loaded witl each one of a different color can be bet than described. The blossoms are perl large and of perfect shape, and borne by Nymphoea—Like a lovely pink Water Lily beautiful and novel. It bloomer all through the season, and its charming Water Lily-like blossoms are grand. Arabella—An early and profuse flow- ering variety of large size and per- fect form. Pale primrose, tipped and shaded old rose and lavender. Miss Florence Shearer—A fine flower of a clear, soft lilac color edged with gray. Extra fine. Mrs. Dexter—Very large, rich salmon. Best of its color. Psyche—Pale primrose, shaded pink. Dwarf branching plant and one of the most profuse bloomers. Prince Bismarck—Very large; deep rich purple. Miss May Lomas-Extra good; one of the grandest varieties in the en- tire list. Flowers very large, of perfect form, never showing cen- ter. Form is entirely distinct, hav- ing immense shell-like petals of the most exquisite finish. A lovely color,—flesh, faintly tinged violet. Wm. Pierce—Richest golden yellow. Extra fine flower and color. Price, 25c. each; any 3 for Goc; the 12 for $2.10. Any variety at $2.00 per doz. Mixed Delias.
