Our Grand GARDEN DAHLIAS 



n 



^"0 garden is complete without a show of these brilliant and 

 stately autumn flowers; nothing gives such abundant return 

 for so little money and care. We offer dry bulbs and tubers, 

 but if stock of these becomes exhausted, we will send started 

 plants. We grow and sell 15 acres of Dahlias each year.
