 Dahlia). 

 This hardy perennial sunflower grows 

 from 3 to 5 feet in height and produces in 

 great profusion its very double golden yellow 

 blossoms, in size and shape much like the 

 Double Dahlia. Graceful, and not overgrown- 

 it makes a beautiful show on the lawn, ana 

 nothing excels it as a floral hedge; splendid 

 also for cutting. Very hardy, living out even 

 in Minnesota's severe winters. The roots 

 of ©ne plant put into the cellar in the fall in- 

 sure a whole garden of sunflowers for the 

 next season. These cut and planted in the 

 spring will produce a plant from every joint, 

 which will blossom profusely the following 

 fall. Not obtained from seed. One strong, 



well-rooted plant free with a 50-cent seed 



Order, or postpaid by mail for 15 cents. 



Plants will not be shipped until April 1st, after danger of freezing here in transportation is past.
