DAHLIAS 



we ul'ftr what we consider the very best 

 Dahlias, which we observed in our 

 extensive trials last season. The greater part we can supply 

 both in dry roots and small plants, but some of the rarer sorts 

 we furnish in green plants only. 



Wliile roots may generally be planted by April 2r)th. it is 

 hardly wise to set out the growing plants until Ma> 10th to 15th. 



Dry divided roots may be had at any time, as long as the sup- 

 ply lasts; pot-plants, 2 to 2V4-in., can be supplied during May. 



Contrary to popular opinion, we maintain that Dahlia plants 

 are always sui)erior to dry roots, and are willing to take the 

 responsibility of recommending them. 



Varieties marked (F) we can supply in pot plants only.
