DECORATIVE 
DAHLIA, 
MAID OF KENT. ¢ 
Note We furnish pot-grown roots 
e while in stock, but will send 
growing plants from pots whenever our 
stock of roots is exhausted. The plants 
from pots bloom equally as good as the 
roots; we plant them by the thousands 
annually. As the price for both is identi- 
cal we will fill orders from either, as stock 
permits, when the order is filled. This 
applies also to Dahlias on next page. 
»- » Field-Grown Roots, in Golors.

grown roots of Dahlias, and are not 
particular about named varieties, 
we offer separate colors without 
names, all large double flowers, 
as follows: Yellow, White, Pink, 
Purple, Red, Variegated. 
Price, 30c. each, or 6 large roots, 
one of each color, for $1.50. By express only, buyer to pay charges.

arranged, and of a uniform rich yellow.
