■- ■ i- ^\^n ,y New Quilled Show Dahlia *• Dreer's White " Thla new qailled Show Dahlia i» probably the most ImportRot introduction of the Beaaon, not only on account of its color, form and Bize. but also on account of its remarkable freeflowerins habit. In our trial grounds the past summer it bloomed as profusely ai> A. D. LiYoni. Its flowers are of large size, frequently measuring 6 inches across, and are borne on stout, stiff stems, nodding lightly, and while it resembles In form in a general way the popular Orand Duke Alex is. it is of a much more refined and perfect build, and never shows a trace of any color, always being of a pure, glistening white. It was shown at the annual exhibition of the New England Dahlia Society, where it re- ceived an Bonorary Award, the highest award given. The Florists' Exchange, reporting on this exhibition, says; "Among notable exhibits perhaps the most striking was that of Henry A. Dreer, Inc.. Philadelphia, who exhibited a lot of their new Dahlia Dreer's White, and which were magnificent flowers of a pure white." We offer strong plaits, ready April 15, 60c each; $5.00 per doz.; $35.00 per 100. New Decorative Dahlia "Jack Rose" Unquestionably the most Important addition to the decorative class of Dahliaa for many years. In color, a brilliant crimson-red, rich and glow- ing and which has suggested its name. Jack Rose, on account of the close approach in color to the popular Gen. Jacqueminot Rose, or, as it is more commonly known, the Jack Rose. The habit of the plant is all that can be desired for garden decoration, it being of a uniform com- pact habit of growth, producing its flowers with the greatest freedom; these are borne on erect, stout stems and always come perfect, a green center or an open flower never having been seen, and under the most ordinary cultivation they will measure five inches or more in diameter. As a cut flower, its rich color, together with its long, stiff stems which hold the flower erect, will at once secure it a place; in fact, the compara- tively few flowers placed on the market the past season were quickly disposed of at highest prices. Awarded a certificate of merit by the Pennsylvania Horticultural Society, Oct. 20.
