They all flower very freely and are borne on long, strong stems, making excellent material for cutting as well as for garden decoration. Dreamlight. A large full flower composed of many narrow flat petals of a lovely shade of pale old rose illuminated with yellow at the base. Numerous twisted and curled petaloids around the disc make the Peony formation most perfect and attractive. 75 cts. each. Drum Major. One of the largest of the Peony-flowered type which under ordinary field culture attains a size of over 8 inches; in color, it is one of the most brilliant, a rich fiery-red which is intensified by a lemon-yellow centre with which the petals are also more or less tipped and marked. 50 cts. each. Hampton Court. One of the best; a bold flower of good form, of a bright mauve-pink. 50 cts. each. Mme. Coissard. To us this is the most artistic and graceful Dahlia of this type; its flowers are large, composed of incurving shell-like petals; these are of brilliant French purple or carmine- crimson, freely marked and suffused with white. 50 cts. each. Mme. Paul Aubrey. A distinct and desirable novelty of true Peony form. In color a beautiful rich deep mauve-pink. The outer petals are broad and flat, the centre petals quilled and rolled towards the centre! 50 cts. each. Mme. Vard. Deep Oriental red with golden disc and markings, a gorgeously colored efi^ective flower of good size. SO cts. each. Mondscheibe. Large canary-yellow, very free-flowering and attractive. 50 cts. each.
