A Hundred Forms and a Thousand Colors" 



a 



A Dahlia Garden is the most satisfactory, the most complete of all flower 

 gardens. The Dahlia, to me, is the most fascinating of all flowers. It will 

 grow and bloom for you, for everybody. It will bring you literally, "a hun- 

 dred forms and a thousand colors" in bewildering and charming variety. It 

 will, in fact, prove a source of the most exquisite pleasure to both you and 

 your friends.
