The Dahlia Is the people's flower. It makes a 

 more gorgeous, dazzling display than any other 

 outdoor-grown flower. Immense bloom can be 

 bad from our Improved varieties, which in sixe, 

 beauty and style rival the finest house-grown, 

 glngle-stem chrysanthemums. We have a mag- 

 nlflcent collection of the best sorts grown. 



Tbe Dablla is of the easiest possible culture. 

 Plant In good soil In the full sunlight, and 

 keep the ground well worked or mulched, and 

 you will be repaid by showers of bloom. When 

 the frost kills the tops, lift the roots and place 

 In any cellar where they will not freeze. I offer 

 strong, pot-growD plants that will bloom early 

 and continuously, and be far more satisfactory 

 than roots, which I do not sell.
