NEW DAHLIAS FOR 1909 



For up\v«rds of lialf a century ^^e Iiave made the raising of net^ Dabllas a great specialty, and our sucoeas 

 In thla yroriL 1b now universally known. Tlie set of novelties described belo\7 w^lll certainly do us grreat 

 credit, as tbey are amongrst tlie very best of our Introductions and will be looked upon as Indispensable 

 by successful exhibitors. Strons plants will be ready the end of April, and trade terms \7lll be as usual. 



CACTUS VARIETIES

but even with this defect its novel and attractive color is sure to make it a great favorite; in fact, the number of orders we have already 

 received for this is considerable. The habit is upright and the stems carry the flowers well above the foliage. 4 ft. 91.80.

CI DRY flF Wll TC (Keynes). We have not the slightest hesitation in describing this as the very best yellow Dahlia yet raised; the form of 

 DLUni ur n IL I O the flower is in every way good, the color bright, and it is of the largest size. It is, moreover, very free flowering and 

 constant the whole season through. At the show of the London Dahlia Union it was awarded first prize for the best six blooms of any 

 variety. 5 ft. $1.80.

 exhibition the whole season through. 4 ft. $1.80. 



IIICC UFC^FY (Keynes). An exquisite shade of bright pink, paler in the center. In growth it is sturdy and upright. Although suitable for 

 migO ntOOL I exhibition, its chief charm lies in its usefulness for cutting and for garden decoration, as it flowers profusely and the color is 

 most pleasing. 5 ft. $1.80.

 auuULdtf stalks are long and stiff, and the habit of growth is distinct from any other. 3 ft. $1.80.

ing to keep the farmer in line and to hold 

 sections that have been worked in pre- 

 vious years. The competition has been 

 keen at all points and it has been hard 

 to adjust the prices to suit the expecta- 

 tions of the farmer and yet keep within 

 leasonable bounds. It is reported that 

 some of the growers have overreached 

 themselves in their eagerness to get out 

 their contracts. 



MARCH IN THE SEED TRADE. 



On the whole, the month of March has 

 not done more than to hold its own with 

 the records of other years. Weather con- 

 litions during the first part of the month 

 ^yere close to normal over the greater por- 

 tion of the country, with only occasional 

 storms and little cold weather to inter- 

 fere with business, giving the mail-order 

 houses a run of heavy business. Most
