DAHLIAS 



The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in commerce. 

 The very best of each class is represented. These varieties were chosen for their superii_,rity in purity of color, length of stem, perfection 

 of form, continuous flowering qualities and general excellence. 



Note —Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain 

 varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good results.
