DAHLIAS. NEW AND RECENT INTRODUCTIONS 



The new types of Dahlias recently introduced have become very popular. With their enormous, richly colored flowers 

 carried high above the fohage on long, stiff stems, they make ideal material for cutting, decorative purposes, and exhibition. 



We have been fortunate in securing from one of the most up-to-date Dahha fanciers in the East the following collection, which 

 he considers the cream of recent introductions, and we are able to offer them at much lower prices than those previously quoted. 

 Our stock being Umited, orders will be filled strictly in the rotation they are received. 



All varieties offered are growing plants only and will be shipped in May and June
