WITHIN the last year or two a wonderful revival of interest in the 

 Dahlia has resulted in their now being important rivals of those 

 standard bedding plants, the Canna and Geranium. This, to a great 

 extent, is due to the introduction of many new varieties of American and 

 European origin, which succeed under our extreme climatic condi- 

 tions, and the marvelous results obtained augur well for their 

 continued popularity. The collections of the various types we 

 offer are the " cream " varieties, selected after critical examina 

 tion and combining in a superlative degree purity of color, 

 tion of form, free and continuous flowering, and they su 

 under the most ordinary garden culture. FOR OUR

 ETIES: Tc. each. 4 for 25e., la for 60c. FOR YOUR
