W. W. WILMORE. DAHLIA SPECIALIST 
A Valuable Premium. 
A New Book, "The Dahlia" 
By W. W. Wilmore 
This new work should be in the hands of every Dahlia grower, whether amateur or 
professional. It is a handsomely illustrated manual, written as a souvenir edition commemorat- 
ing my twentieth year as a commercial grower. 
Failure in growing Dahlias, nine times out often, 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 prepaired this manual. The price is a mere trifle, and no 
grower should run the risk' of failure when reliable knowledge is within easy reach of all. 
The work covers briefly the practical questions of Dahlia culture, methods of propagation, 
winter storage, etc. This work will be sent postpaid for 25 cents, or, if requested, it will be 
sent in addition to regular premiums with all orders amounting to $2.00.

"It is an up-to-date and good all-round guide. The knowing how to place the tubers more 
than repays its cost." 
MRS. A. B. HEDGES. 
"I have read this little book with much interest, and find it to be the most complete work 
on the dahlia that I have seen. I envy you your knowledge of this flower." 
W. T. SHELTON, 
Superintendent of Indian School 
"My ordering another Manual will convince you that I think highly of it. It is the best 
book on the subject I have read. Those having no knowledge of dahlias would understand 
growing them by reading the book." 
PRANK E. DUFFY. 
"The Dahlia Manual at hand; it is certainly an up-to-date and valuable piece of work. We 
wish to congratulate you on same, If you intend to put this book on the market would like 
you to make us prices. We have not as yet discovered any book containing as much valuable 
information as yours."

"Your Dahlia Manual is right to the point, and very neatly gotten up. Anyone who will 
follow the plain general cultural directions you give can hardly fail in a region where Dahlias 
will grow at all. ' 
PROF. HARSHBARGER.

"I desire to express my appreciation of the Dahlia Manual. It supplies a real need in 
literature on the dahlia."
