. Boddington's quality bulbs, seeds and plants / Arthur T. Nursery Catalogue. 120 Arthur 342 West 14th New Vork City DECORATIVE DAHLIAS Eight Grand Giant Dahlias The eight sorts here odered are, witlioiit exception, the largest and most perfect double llowering Dahlias now grown, flowers of all of them attaining a size of between 6 and 9 inches across under ordinary cultivation. Golden Weddina Probably the largest Dahlia in exist- »*i ence, being fully twice as large as Yellow Le Colosse. On account of the gigantic size and. the color, which is a deep, ^jolden yellow, in contrast to the various shades generally found in Dahlias, this was most appropriately named Golden Wedding, being the same shade as the (iolden Wedding chrysanthemum, and also fully as large ; flowers, the past season, measuring 6 to 8'{ inches in diameter, petals reflexing almost to the stem with a full center. The plant is also a giant. The flowers are produced on stems 3 feet and more in length. In spite of its gigantic size, it is most effective for vases or decorations, as the stems, though rigid, droop gracefully under their great load. The leaves, like the plants, are very large and heavy. This is one of, if not the best exhi- bition variety ever produced. 35 cts. each, per doz. Mrs. J. Gardner Cassatt. A new giant Decor- —^—atlve Dahlia, which surpasses any other Dahlia of its color. The plant is a re- markably strong, vigorous grower, not quite so early a bloomer as Dorothy Peacock, but blooming earlier than most of the large Dahlias. The flow^ers are of an immense size, often 6% inches in diameter, and 3 to 4 inches through, and al ways full to the center. The flowers are produced on long stems in great abundance. The color is a deep rose-pink, the reflex of the petals being the same color as the face, or a shade darker, in contrast to so many varieties that have a pale reflex color. 35 cts. each, $ per doz. Cuban Giant. Very large; dark, ric
