Dreer's Select Dahlias 



Dahlias True to Name.— All of the Dahlias which we offer this season have been trrown at our New Riverview Nurseries under our 

 personal supervision, every precaution was taken to prevent errors and our customers may depend upon receiving stock absolutely true 

 to name. 



Dahlia Roots or Plants.— Unless otherwise noted in the descriptions of the various varieties, we supply all Dahlias in strong 

 dormant roots, and we believe our supply this season is ample to meet all demands. However, in case the demand for certain varieties 

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



Dahlias for Cutting.- The varieties marked with an asterisk* are those that are particularly suited for cutting, being free- 

 flowering sorts, witli good stems and desirable colors.
