Its chief characteristic is its enormous flowers, which attain the hitherto unheard of dimensions of 8| inches in diam- eter. It also has petals of extraordinary width and texture. In color the parent plant was a bright scarlet, but the seedlings are likely to vary both as to color and shape, some com- ing single, others semi-double, but all, not- withstanding their huge size, with the light- ness and grace of a Japanese Pseony. A most valuable novelty. 25 cts. per pkt.; 5 pkts., $ Single Orcliid-flowered Dahlia Twentieth Century. 2186 One of the most sensational novelties ever sent out. The flowers measure from 4J to 7 inches across, and early in the season are an intense rosy crimson tipped with white, and having a white halo around the disc. As the season advances they gradually become lighter until they are a pure white blended with soft pink, a most beautiful transition. The seed we send out has been saved by the originator from stock plants, but there is likely to be considerable variations in the seedlings. 15 cts. per pkt. New^ Dahlia Collcrette. 2185 A novel type, having a row of short petals around the disc like a frill or collar, and which are always of a different color from the rest of the flower; mixed varieties. 15 cts. per pkt.
