We have a special Dahlia farm in Connecticut for the purpose of growing bulbs. 

 This farm is under the supervision of a grower, who has had experience with 

 this flower for the last 25 years. We guarantee our bulbs to be true to name 

 and are willing to replace same if they are found otherwise. We are offering 

 this year nearly 250 varieties of Cactus Dahlias alone, not mentioning the other- 

 classes. We extend a cordial invitation to every florist in the country during the 

 Summer and Fall to visit our 



Exhibition Earm of Daiilias 



occupying two acres, right in the heart of the old historic town of Marblehead, 

 Mass., where we grow fully 1000 varieties of Dahlias for exhibition purposes 

 only. Every novelty of account either European or American may be seen. 



We do not Grow Daiilias for Quantity 

 but for Quality 



The demand for Dahlias as cut flowers has been steadily on the increase and 

 some of the choicer varieties of Cactus Dahlias are prized as highly as any of the 

 choicest varieties of Roses. 



Our complete list of varieties with illustrations and descriptions covers 

 12 pages in 



'^Rawson's Garden Manual for 1907'' 



a catalogue, which every florist should possess. It represents the highest art 

 of "American Catalogue Printing," as it is completely new from page 1 to 144. 



We offer this season seven new American seedlings of Dahlias, which created 

 a sensation wherever shown last Fall and which the FLORISTS' REVIEW 

 has considered important enough to mention at length in this issue. 



Now that the " New England Dahlia Society" is an active and live society, 

 the future of the Dahlia is established and every florist in the country can add 

 considerably to his income by devoting a quarter of an acre or more to the 

 cultivation of this profitable flower. 



Do not wait till the growing season is here but let us book your order now 

 thus assuring you no disappointment. 



CHOICE VARIETIES ARE ALWAYS SCARCE
