DREER'S SELECT DAHLIAS

For some years now there has been a strong and distinct trend toward Miniature 

 Dahlias on account of their usefulness for home and garden decoration. We therefore 

 have given special attention to these small-flowered types as we believe their popu- 

 larity will increase still further as soon as the public becomes more fully acquainted 

 with their possibilities.
