BETTY AUSTIN Cactus (see natural color reproduction from a photograph on front cover page). A
lovely variety that is in a class by itself. Color yellow at base of petal, blending to
rosy carmine and rose, yellow at tips; reflex rose. A combination at once pleasing and
effective. The flowers are of good size and splendid form, borne erect to facing on long stiff, slender stems, well above
the foliage. An early, free and continuous bloomer. The plant is dwarf, 3 to 4 ft. high, of branching habit. A wonder-
ful commercial cut flower and an ideal garden plant. It is entirely distinct and will find its way into every collection.
Roots, $5.00 each.
IS ABEL STREET Decorative. A grand new variety that has attracted the greatest attentions of
visitors at our farms and wherever exhibited. The flowers are large, extremely full
to the center, while the outer petals reflex to the stem. Color at base bright yellow,
shading to bright rose red, with white tips; reflex pale pink. The flowers are cf heavy texture and borne facing on
long cane stiff stems. The plant is strong, vigorous, of upright branching habit, 5 to 6 ft. high, producing the big long
stem, blooms freely and continuously. A wonderful exhibition and commercial variety that should be in every
collection. An acquisition to every garden, strong plants $2.00. Roots until exhausted, $3.00 each.
SPECIAL OFFER. One each of the 4 Colored Cover Dahlias, Betty Austin, Rosalia Styles, Isabel Street and
Colossal pink, $14.50.
N thanking our friends and customers for their generous patronage in the past; we also want to extend a cordial
invitation to visit our farms next September and October.
We wish every dahlia lover could have seen our fields the past season. “The finest ever” was the unani-
mous opinion of the tens of thousands of visitors. And truly never before were they quite so fine; one hundred
(100) acres of the World’s Best Dahlias. The hot dry weather seemed to bring out the very finest shades, tints,
and colors, and such profusion. We devote acres just to trial grounds, not only to thoroughly test out all varieties,
but for the benefit and pleasure of all “dahlia enthusiasts.”
On the following pages will be found the plain truth describing them as they grow with us, and the average
color; for flowers vary in color at different seasons, on different soils, in different climates and under different
conditions, so we take our colors at midseason.
We are glad to note the craze for size alone has about run out. A Dahlia now must have more than size
to commend it. Of course we all like to exhibit a flower larger than ever before shown, but, nothing can take
the place of those brilliantly colored beauties, or those exquisitely formed, delicately tinted, medium or even
small sized flowers, with good stiff slender stems, that lend themselves most admirably to all kinds of decorations—
garden, home, hall, business establishment or personal adornment. For after all it is only natural to love the
beautiful and artistic, rather than the Bizarre.
THE PEACOCK DAHLIA FARMS ARE THE LARGEST IN THE WORLD and have the largest and
best equipped warehouse and storage cellar, a section of which is shown above. It contains 11,288 sq. ft. of floor
space and 125,420 cubic feet of space. It is built of concrete, with an electric light plant attached, and a heating
plant located 75 ft. away.

OUR MAIN FARMS eading R. R., Ferry foot of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, one mile south
of the famous White Horse Pike from Philadelphia to Atlantic City, also 214 miles by direct road from Berlin.
We cordially invite all to visit and see for themselves the LARGEST DAHLIA FARMS IN THE WORLD—
THE HOME OF THE WORLD’S BEST DAHLIA.
ORDER EARLY It will greatly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early. We aim to send out
orders the same or the next day after receipt, but during the rush season this is im-
possible—hence the advisability of ordering early. If you so desire we will reserve and send at planting time or
any date you name, otherwise orders go out at once weather permitting.

to name, reach destination safely in perfect condition, and prove entirely satisfactory; we will cheerfully replace
any that should prove otherwise. You run absolutely no risk in ordering from us.

and correction will be promptly and cheerfully made.

ZEUS 21-101. Decorative-Paeony. The illustration gives only the form of this largest and most wonderful of
——— all Dahhas. This bloom was 104% inches in diameter and 5 inches deep. It has not only size and a cane
stiff stem, but beautiful form as shown by the photograph. The color is a wonderfully rich glowing red, each petal
distinctly tipped yellow. A giant without a trace of heaviness. So artistically built and richly colored that it
attracts, it holds, it fascinates. The plant is medium dwarf, 3 to 4 ft. high, as we grew it in field; strong, sturdy,
healthy and vigorous. A free and continuous bloomer. The demand was insistent and we reluctantly booked a
few orders for plants for June 1st delivery at $15.00 each. We will accept a few more orders which will be filled in

COLOSSAL PINK 19104. Decorative (see natural color reproduction on last cover page). This is the
variety that attracted so much attention the past two years at the Wanamaker
exhibitions and on our grounds. A most wonderful new variety that has all the good
qualities of Colossal Peace, with none of its faults. It is fully as large in diameter, but several times as deep; of massive
build, always full to the center and will last longer on the plant than any other variety. Color clear pink, tinting
lighter at tips of petals and at center. Plant dwarf, 3 to 4 ft. high. A strong vigorous grower, of branching habit,
and an early and profuse bloomer. For exhibition it is a winner—immense size, fine form, pure color and keeping
qualities. An ideal garden plant. Strong plants, $3.00 each. A limited number of roots, until exhausted, $5.00 each.
ROSALIA STYLES Colossal Paeony. The largest and best pink of this class. Beautiful form,
immense size, stiff stems, strong, vigorous, sturdy plant, a free and continuous
blcomer, while last but not least, a wonderful live lustrous color—bright tyrian
pink, tipped lighter; reflex pink. The plant is a strong, vigorous, sturdy grower, of medium height (5 feet), branching
and producing the giant flowers freely on long cane stiff stems. A superb cut flower variety, on account of its clear
color, good stems and remarkable shipping and keeping qualities. The early flowers are quite full to the center, on
first opening, giving good depth. On the exhibition table, the 8 to 9 inch flowers are held erect without support by their
own stems. The plant is simply perfect for the garden. Has attracted the greatest attention wherever seen and will
be universally grown. Strong plants, $2.00 each. Roots, $3.00 each.
