DAHLIAS 
The varieties of Dahlias listed arc the results of a very 
careful selection as to form and freedom of bloom, with 
special pains as to the colors. 
We have taken consideration of the varied soils and cli- 
mates, and the varieties we offer can be depended on to 
be the leaders for an early and continuous display in the 
garden. Should our stock of roots be exhausted we sup- 
ply in their place good, strong 4-inch pot plants. Some 
people prefer these to the dormant roots.

CULTURE. 
Should be planted in a well drained position and where 
they will receive the greatest amount of sun during the 
day. The soil should be made loose and a liberal amount 
of fertilizer added before planting. Well decayed stable 
manure is very satisfactory as a fertilizer. Do not set 
out plants until all danger of frost is over. This should 
be specially noted in the case of potted plants. Dahlias 
should be lifted immediately after the first killing frost 
and stored in a cool place over winter.
