<<2) enver Novelty for 1900 A lovely pure yellow Dahlia, of the decorative form. When first opening it shows a shading of orange bronze, which gives way when the flower is fully ex- panded, leaving the color a beautiful clear yellow. Its flowers are borne freely on good stems well above the foliage. I con- sider this one of my best introductions. Trice, 35c* each, 3 feet. $3,50 per dozen Cinderella This new Cactus Dahlia is undoubt- edly the best of its type yet introduced. Its form is a model of perfection, as will be seen by a glance at the half-tone cut on front page. It is an early bloomer, and pro- duces its flowers in great profusion. Color, dark purple maroon. 3 feet. Trice, 25c* each, $2*50 per dozen CURIO t w.w. Wilmorc Dahlia Specialist HE subject of this illustration originated with me among a lot of seedlings which I planted in 1896. I was at once impressed by its distinct- ively unique formation and color. Another odd characteristic of Curio is that it often blooms in clusters of three. The flower from which this illustration was made was one of a cluster of three, but unfortunately the cluster could not be so arranged that all would show without making an ill-shaped illustra- tion. The plant is an erect, strong grower, with but little foliage aside from its stems. The flower is of medium size and quite rounded in form. Its color is a rich orange bronze, bright and clear, and in this respect is also quite different from all others. It is not recom- mended for cutting purposes, as it is too heavy, but as a show variety it will undoubtedly become very popular. Should have good cultivation and rich soil.
