HIGH CLASS DAHLIAS 
For High Class Gardens 
\ / OU won’t make any mistake by sending us your dahlia 
rders; neither will you make any mistake if you 
make out your list from our page advertisement on page 
67, March Garden Magazine. 
We described and quoted prices on over forty varieties, 
besides making five “Special Collection”’ offers of un- 
usual merit. If you haven’t read it, turn to your copy 
of last month’s magazine or write us, and we will send 
you our catalogue with a copy of our advertisement. 
We advise that you send your order at once for any and all the 
Peony Dahlias because the great demand for this type has 
always been in excess of the supply of roots. This season, 
when so many people are ordering early, prompt action is 
advisable on these offers. Don’t fail to include our famous 
Golden Gate Dahlia in your order. This ideal Suffrage Dahlia was 
used in preference to yellow Chrysanthemums last Autumn by 
the Oyster Bay Suffragists for decorations. (See description of 
this wonderful Dahlia in our advertisement in the February 
issue of The Garden Magazine.) Price, roots $.50 each. All 
orders will be filled and shipped prepaid in rotation, during April.
