Fancy Exhibition and Garden DAHLIAS 



The last decade has seen the Dahlia win undisputed leadership over ail floral rivals. Stimulated by 

 greatly increased interest on the part of the gardening public, the hybridizers have done great work. Their 

 endeavors to create "still greater" novelties make it quite a task to judge which really are the most worth- 

 while and best. Those offered on this page have been proclaimed by expert growers to be peers in their 

 respective classes. They do not represent all which we can supply. Dahlia fanciers are invited to write 

 for complete list — free, of course.
