R. &• J. FARQUHAR &. CO.'S SEED CATALOGUE.
NEW DECORATIVE DAHLIAS.

This splendid new class has become known in
France as Rttstiqtie and in England as Decorative
Dahlias, the last name having been adopted by the
few specialists growing them in this country.
The flowers are of large size, usually quite
double, but of less dense and much freer form than
those of the Large Show Class ; the long, usually
fluted petals giving the flowers an artistic, loose
and graceful form hitherto unattained in Dahlias.
Our list comprises all the best shades of color
and only sorts of genuine merit.
