At Fort Myers, Florida, on the south bank of the beautiful 
Caloosahatchee, where it widens out to three miles, and the 
warm water of the Gulf of Mexico is carried hack and forth 
twice each day by the tide, thus affording protection from 
frost throughout the winter, we have purchased land and es- 
tablished a Dahlia Garden for the express purpose of making 
a specialty of hand-pollenized Dahlia Seed. 
Our Mr. L. K. Peacock and his experts devote the entire 
winter to growing the World's Best Dahlia Seed. Profes- 
sional growers, as well as amateurs, marveled at the wonderful 
new varieties grown last year from this seed. 
The reorganization of the Peacock Dahlia Farms was ef-

and bankers, who realized the great possibilities of capital-

cock "The Dahlia Man," "the original American Dahlia 
Specialist," "idealist and dreamer." 
The first results were shown in the wonderful new seedlings 
raised from the Florida grown seed.
