Dahlia 



The Dahlia has always been a favorite for autumn 

 flowering. The flowers are so symmetrical and per- 

 fect and the range of colors so large and varied that 

 they will always be popular where display is wanted. Both the single 

 and double strains of this magnificent race of plants may be had in the 

 greatest variety and beauty from seed. If planted early and forced they 

 can be made to flower the first season. Tender herbaceous perennial. 

 Finest Double Mixed. Seeds saved from choicest double floivers .Pkt. 15c. 

 Finest Single Mixed. Will produce brilliant flowers running through a 



wide range of colors Pkt. 10c. 



For Dahlia Roots see Bulbs and Roots, page 9U. 



The daisy has been so far improved by selection and 

 careful cultivation that good seed will give at least eighty 

 per cent of double flowers that are as large as any of the 

 named sorts that are propagated by division of the roots and are sold 

 at high prices. The plants bloom well in the house 

 and ai'e splendid for early spring and summer flow- 

 ering when planted in a slightly shaded situation.
