Dingee Surpassing 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 up and win- 

 tered 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 magniflcent display. 



All Dahlias supplied in strong-growing plants, which give better results 

 than roots for the same reason that one stalk of corn in a hill will produce 

 a finer ear than if there were 8 or 10 stalks together, coming into bloom 

 earlier and producing a greater profusion of flowers. Our customers can 

 rely upon our experience in this particular. Please note the low prices, 

 also the extensive list, embracing the finest varieties in cultivation.
