The double Miniature Dahlias are par- 
ticularly desirable for general garden 
planting and home decoration. 

Jersey's Beauty 


Dreer’ s Select Dahlias 
The varieties which we offer have been chosen with special care. They have been thoroughly 
tested and may be depended upon to give the utmost satisfaction to the home gardener. Among 
the varieties you will recognize a number of consistent prize winners at the flower shows. 
Realizing the deserved popularity of the Miniature and Pompon types we have given them special 
attention. The new dwarf Dahlias for the garden introduced by us in 1937 have met with such 
universal approbation that we have prepared a large stock for this year’s sales. 
All varieties are offered as tubers ready for delivery at any time; green plants are ready about 
May 15.
