We grow millions of Dahlias. We never begin to plant until after the fifteenth of May. That is 

 why people say "Your Dahlias bloom so much better than ours." 



We sell Show Gardens and Make Shows with the florists in the larger towns and cities, 



showing something near iooo varieties of Dahlias, taking orders for Dahlia tubers from the real growing 

 plants in the Show Gardens or the real living flowers in the Shows. 



The following list of Dahlias led our sales during the season of 1921. If this collection was selected as the best by the 

 millions who saw them in the Show Gardens and in the Shows, it ought to please you.

Nearing 

 Sprinkler Perfection 



The perfect garden sprinkler must do a maximum of j 

 watering with whatever pressure is available; it should 

 water the largest possible area in even and thorough fashion j 

 and it should be absolutely trouble-proof. As far as we know, 

 we can offer you almost 100% sprinkler efficiency in 



The Empire Rotary Sprinkler 



Will operate on either low or high water pressures, \ 

 though best results are obtained with from 25 to 40 pounds. 

 It is adjustable all round. By setting the nozzles at differ- 

 ent angles, it will irrigate either large or small areas. The 

 tightening of a nut makes it a stationary sprinkler, with 

 which to irrigate any particular spot orbed or frames. ; 



Each nozzle throws a fan shaped spray consisting of 7 fine streams. 

 As the water passes through the air, these streams break up into fine 

 particles, affecting vegetation just like a gentle rainfall. 



The construction is most substantial while its finish is particularly at- i 

 tractive. Best brass, copper and japanned iron combine to give you a | 

 distinctly handsome apparatus. Will not rust, and so simply made that 

 it can not get out of order. With ordinary care it will give a minimum 

 of ten years of service. !
