Gorgeous Flowering Dahlias 



These popular flowers are a great specialty with us and our collection 

 contains the finest new and old varieties. Dahlias succeed in any soil or 

 situation. They bloom profusely, beginning about the first of August and 

 continuing until killed by frost, producing flowers of magnificent form 

 and exquisite colors. After blooming, the roots should be taken V 



up and wintered in a dry cellar. Plant them freely. Their 

 gorgeous flowers coming as they do, when almost all other flowers 

 have vanished, will amply repay their trifling cost. A small 

 collection will make a magnificent display.
