A New Book-^Tke Daklia" 
By W. W. WILMORE 
This new work should he In the hands of every 
Dahlia grower, whether amateur or professional. It 
Is a handsomely illustrated manual, written as a 
souvenir edition oommemorating my twenty-ttrst year 
as a commercial grower. 
Failure in growing Dahlias, nine times out of ten. Is 
directly traceable to improper treatment or Troubles 
that could easily be removed if their causes were known 
and understood. It was largely with this aim In view' 
that I prepared this manual. The price is a mere trifle, 
and no grower should run the rislc of failure when 
reliable knowledge is within easy reach of all. 
The work covers briefly the practical questions of 
Dahlia culture, metliods of propagation, winter .^tor- 
age, etc. This work will be sent postpaid tor 25 cents, 
or, if requested, it will be sent in addition to regular 
premiums with all orders amounting to fi.OO.
