NOTE. — We Supply all Dahlias, except where noted, in dor- 

 mant roots, but as the season advances and our supply of certain 

 varieties becomes exhausted in this shape, green, growing plants 

 are supplied instead. These will give equally as good results as 

 dormant roots | nianv experienced planters will only plant green 

 plants), and bv the time they are cut by frost they will have 

 produced strong roots, which can be carried over winter in the 

 ordinary way.
