EVERYTHING FOR THE GARDEN — Flower Bulbs 





Field Grown DAHLIA ROOTS 



Henderson's Selection of the Newer Dahlias 



This collection is made up of such sorts as are generally grown 

 for exhibition purposes. To obtain "Exhibition" flowers the best 

 culture? must be given, else size, finish and the individual charac- 

 teristics will be lacking. We publish a pamphlet on Dahlia Cul- 

 ture which will be sent free to applicants.

 canary yellow with light stripes of crimson on the front of the 

 petals. The reflex is crimson, producing a charming effect. (See 

 illustration.) Price, field-drown roots. $1.50 each. $15.00 

 per doz. 



Decorative Dahlia Dorothy RobbinS
