^^THE DAHLIA" 
By W. W. WILMORE 
This work should l>« In the hands of every Dahlia 
grower, whether amateur or professional. It Is a hand- 
somely Illustrated manual, written as a souvenir edi- 
tion commemorating my twenty-first year as a com- 
mercial 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 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 stor- 
age, 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.
