1274 PANMURE EX- 

 TRA CHOICE LARGE 

 FLOW^ERING, DOUBLE 

 MIXED. Dahlia culture is no small part of the work at our Panmure 

 Seed Gardens, in Southern New Jersey. In addition to growing roots 

 of the standard sorts, it is necessary to test all the leading and best 

 introductions that make their appearance season by season. There are 

 acres of blooming dahlias at Panmure every summer. Indeed, it is 

 doubtful whether there is a more choice collection of large flowering 

 double dahlias in the world than at Panmure, and it is from these 

 choice specimens that we save seed. Of course, we cannot guarantee 

 color or type from seed procured in this way, but can safely remind our 

 friends that high-bred ancestrj' means high-bred progeny, and can, 

 therefore, recommend this seed without reserve. It is certain to pro- 

 duce beautiful types, perhaps many that will prove rare or new. 

 Packet, 15 cents.

 ment embraces many varieties of the double show, pompon and decor- 

 ative types in a variety of colors. Very fine; about 40 varieties.
