Twenty Dollar Prize Box 



of tubers for best letter written me about dahlias. A 

 questionnaire, not a literary effort. I want to im- 

 prove my catalogue and make my 1923 issue more 

 interesting, more valuable, to those who grow my 

 dahlias, and believe that in the counsel of many there 

 is wisdom. The letter containing the largest number 

 of good ideas wins the prize. A $20.00 collection of 

 dahlias will make a wonderful display in your garden. 

 Send postal for catalogue and questionnaire. You 

 may write the winning letter. 



Bolles Dahlia Brochures (Illus.) 



Written by an American Grower for American ama- 

 teurs and professionals, for American conditions of cli- 

 mate, soils, and markets. Beautifully illustrated. 



What they say 



"Harvesting just received and I have not laid it down until 

 1 read every word from cover to cover. It's fuli of meat. I 

 want the entire series as fast as printed." 



"You have written a really remarkable little treatise." 

 "Your most valuable little booklet received. You should 

 have asked no less than fifty cents per copy. The binding 

 and illustrations could hardly be covered by less." 



These Booklets 



are really de luxe editions. They are not cheap 

 little pamphlets. They measure 5 x 1\ inches, are 

 beautifully printed upon a most attractively surfaced 

 paper, of artistic appearance and value. They are 

 well illustrated. They are bound in a heavy, colored 

 cover with the title not merely printed, but placed 

 in a die-sunk panel with a specially tinted surface, 

 of different color. These booklets are gift books in 

 appearance, and in the unusual quality of paper and 

 printing. The publisher considers them valuable 

 enough to send them to you in a specially prepared 

 Kraft envelope of more than usual strength, to 

 protect these beautiful specimens of the printer's 

 craftsmanship while passing through the mails. 



Returnable copies 



sent upon receipt of price. Try one or more of the 

 booklets. Money back next mail, if returned. 



Harvesting and Storage, may save your crop of 

 tubers. Fertilizer and Large Blooms, tells how to grow 

 garden and exhibition blooms. Price, 35 cents each. 



Propagation and Breeding New Varieties explains 

 growing from tubers, from seeds, and how, by cut- 

 ings, fifty plants may be obtained from a single clump. 

 Also explains cross-breeding (Hybridizing), and sets 

 forth the conditions under which new dahlia crea- 

 tions may be produced by the amateur as well as by 

 the professional grower; (Double Number), 50 cents. 

 Cultivation (Double Number), price fifty cents a 



copy. These three are off the press, and ready for 



your order to-day.
