DAHLIAS. 



NEW AND RECENT INTRODUCTIONS. 



The new types of Dahlias recently introdwed have become very popular. With their enormous, richly colored, flowers carried high above the foliage 

 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 Dahlia 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 limited, orders will be filled 

 strictly in the rotation they are received. 



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