Fig. 143. SOME OF THE MANY TYPES OF DAHLIA. There is no end to the many 

 fine varieties of Dahlias available. Wherever they do well there are few other 

 Summer-flowering plants that can equal them for showiness 



should always have a good show for their patrons to look at, should 

 use them as cut flowers, and should push the sale of small plants or 

 tubers during the Spring months. 



We have, today, many specialists growing old and new sorts 

 for the trade; new and more gorgeous varieties are coming out 

 each year. Keep on giving them a trial and grow the best sorts; 

 those your customers haven't as yet secured.
