 rantjed long petals. Roots, 35 cts. each ;

DAHLIAS. 



It is a great pleasure to us to note the remarkable in- 

 terest in Dahlias during the past few years, and the many 

 letters received from customers expressing their satisfaction 

 and delight at the wonderful improvements wliich have 

 been shown in the various " Sets" as sent out by us prove 

 to us that our efforts to present not the longest list of varie- 

 ties but only the best of each respective type has been ap- 

 preciated. We spare neither time nor expense in testing the 

 new varieties of both domestic and foreign |)roduction, and 

 feel justified in claiming that our collection is unequalled, 

 all having been selected for their free and coiuiiiuous- 

 tlowering qualities, purity of color, perfection of form, 

 general excellence and adaptability to the most ordinarv 

 garden culture.
