A Real Find for Just 

 Seventy-five Dahlia Enthusiasts 



For eight years I have nursed a "pet" — the finest pink Peony- 

 flowered Dahlia in cultivation. It is so well-established now that 

 I have decided to dispose of the entire stock, so that other Dahlia 

 lovers may enjoy its enchanting beauty. I therefore offer the 

 entire stock of 



The Longest' Lasting Peony Dahlia 

 extant— Mrs. Frederick Grinnell 



It's a beautiful flower, equally valuable for cutting, exhibition or 

 garden display. It is fragrant, large, yet graceful, and its pink 

 color is more beautiful under artificial light than outdoors. But its 

 greatest quality is its lasting beauty. Flowers remain in perfect 

 shape for a week! On this particular point the Editor of Garden 

 Magazine states that it is absolutely unrivaled. Awarded Inter- 

 national Prize by the American Dahlia Society, Silver Medal given 

 by the Toronto Horticultural Society for Best Seedling Dahlia 

 of Any Type at the American Dahlia Society Show, American 

 Institute, New York, September 24, 1918. In all it has won four- 

 teen %st prizes. 



75 Clumps at Ten Dollars Each 



That's all I have! Since I am told that there are several 

 thousand Dahlia connoisseurs among the Readers, 75 should act 

 quickly. Send check with order. I will store the clumps care- 

 fully and guarantee their safe arrival at planting time.

HOUSES 



It is possible to build that small house you need and 

 still help to conserve lumber and labor. Buy the Hodgson 

 Way, whether a garage, clubhouse, cottage, • bungalow, 

 playhouse or any other kind of small house. 



All you have to do is send for the catalogue containing photographs of 

 small houses in many styles and sizes. The dimensions and layout plan 

 are also shown and prices given for every item. 



After you have selected the one you need, 

 send your order and the house will be shipped 

 in neatly painted sections that can be as- 

 sembled quickly by a couple of unskilled men. 

 When it is finished you have a beautiful at- 

 tractive house, exactly as shown in the cata- 

 logue and at less cost than if you had it 

 built the usual way. 



Even if you don't need the house till Spring 

 — now is the best time to order it. Send 25% 

 of the cost with the order and we will pack 

 your house ready for shipment and hold it for 

 you until you need it. At the same time you 

 are protecting yourself against possible in- 

 creased prices. 



Send for the catalogue to-day.

 and sweet, in spite of the stress and strain, by growing "The 

 Queen of Flowers." She will respond heartily to your care; her 

 fragrance and marvelous color harmonies will appeal to your 

 sense of beauty, and impress you daily with the wonder of 

 Nature's works.
