DAHLIAS 



EXHIBITION and GARDEN FAVORITES 



Prices quoted are for strong tubers. Many experienced 

 Dahlia growers however, have found plants preferable to 

 tubers and we offer plants of all varieties (May 1st to 

 June 15th) at one-half of the following prices: 



The following varieties of dahlias are selected for beauty, 

 utilitv and free flowering qualities. We offer a wide range 

 of colors and shades in each of the important types and can 

 confidently recommend them for the ornamental garden 

 and for cut flowers. The tubers are taken from healthy, vig- 

 orous, field grown clumps; are in first class condition and with 

 proper attention are sure to bloom and give entire satisfaction. 



Dahlias do well in almost any kind of soil, but thrive best 

 in a medium loam. The tubers should be planted in a horizon- 

 tal position, with the sprout up and about four inches below 

 the surface; they should be set three or four feet apart each 

 way in deeply spaded soil. A good plant food applied lust 

 as the buds start to form will increase the size and improve 

 the color of the blooms. If large exhibition blossoms are 

 desired, it is absolutely necessary to disbud. After the frost 

 has killed the flowers, the roots should be removed from the 

 around, allowed to dry for two or three days, and then stored 

 away in a cool, dry, dark place where frost will not reach 

 them. ^
