These popular flowers are a great specialty with us 

 our collection contains the finest new and old varie 

 Dahlias succeed in any soil or situation. They bloom 

 fusely, beginning about the first of August and 

 continuing until killed by frost, producing flow- 

 ers of magnificent form and exquisite colors. 

 After blooming, the roots should be taken up 

 and wintered in a dry cellar. Plant them freely. 

 Their gorgeous flowers coming as they do, when 

 almost all other flowers have van- 

 ished, will amply repay their tri- 

 fling cost. A small collection will 

 make a magnificent display.
