DAHLIAS IN A MERICA ^Z^l^l 
^— , HE Da hlia at last, occupies a position second to no other plant in our gardens, and it is exceedingly gratifying to us 
/O as i t bears out our prediction made in 1884 that, "Owing to a dearth of flowers during the summer and early autumn 
months, a proper development of the possibilities of this beautiful flower would give it a place of honor in every garden. 
Owin" to its free growing habits, freedom from serious disease, and ease of safeguarding from the few insects that attack it, 
it can and will be universally grown." It is especially gratifying to us that our prediction of 35 years ago is being realized to 
the fullest extent. 
During this time we have devoted our entire time and energy to aid in the development of the Dahlia, and bring about the 
present most gratifying results. During this time, regardless of viscissitudes, our keynote has been "Quality" which has resulted 
in our not only having been the original American Dahlia specialists, but the enviable position of the largest Dahlia growers in 
the world. 
As a large proportion of existing varieties have been originated in other countries, the development was along lines suited 
to local conditions there, and are entirely unsuited to American conditions. This is particularly the case with Dahlias for deco- 
rative purposes. We grow the best and most reliable varieties in immense quantities, and as we are not dealers but growers, 
we know that our stock is the best that experience and eternal vigilance can produce. 
OTTR T^AR TYTS embracing 172 acres are located at Williamstown Junction, New Jersey, on the Atlantic City Branch 
of the Reading R. R., only 17 miles from Chestnut Street Ferries, Philadelphia, and we extend a most 
cordial invitation to our customers and all interested in Dahlias to visit us and inspect our fields while in bloom, during August, 
September and October. We have 32 trains daily and 16 trains on Sundays during summer. Time tables will be sent on request. 
THE SPRING LAKE DAHLIA FARM At Spring Lake, New Jersey one mile west of Spring 
. — Lake Beach, on road from Asbury Park to Lakewood, 
via Lake Como, the New Bedford and Manasquan road and terminal of Spring Lake Beach road, one-quarter mile west of 
Golf grounds. 
Here we also have trial grounds and grow cut flowers especially for the New York Market. Pennsylvania and Central 
Railroad of New Jersey. 
DIXIE DAHLIA FARM Fort M >' ers < F1 °riua, on the south bank of the beautiful Calloosahatchee, 3j/$ 
miles below Fort Myers, on the Boulevard that parallels the river (which is here 
three miles wide), to the Gulf of Mexico. Here, under the sunny skies of the Southland, our Mr. L. K. Peacock and his 
experts spend the winters, breeding and developing those wonderful new creations shown by us in University Hall of the 
Wanamakcr Store, Philadelphia, October 2 to 4, 1919. These new creations, grown from the Florida grown seed, filled, 
completely the main center table, and so outclassed the named varieties that nearly half of the orders booked were for 
Dahlia Seed. 
Visitors, customers and competitors alike marveled at the wonderful results. 
We extend a most cordial invitation to our friends and flower lovers to visit any or all our farms. 
Our complete trials at Williamstown junction this year will contain over 2,500 of the World's Best Dahlias.
