Fifteen first prizes, seven seconds and 

 one third in a show of this size, \yith this 

 competition, must mean one thing above 

 all others— BETTER DAHLIAS. That's 

 what we sell. 



We are one of the largest growers in 

 California and can fill your wants. 



As noted at side, we took first prize for 

 1921 seedlings, 250 of them, in a bed that 

 experts said were actually finer than 

 named varieties. 



And this is the seed we offer you, all hand 

 fertilized and hybridized. With proper 

 care, every seed will grow and give splen- 

 did results.
