A New Book -"The Dahlia" 
By W. W. Wil more 
This new work should be iii the hands of every Dahlia grower, whether amateur or 
professional. It is a handsomely illustrated manual, written as a souvenir edition com- 
memorating my twentieth 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 un- 
derstood. It was largely with this aim in view that I jirepared 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 propa- 
gation, winter storage, etc. This work will be sent postpaid for 35 cents, or, if requested, 
it will be sent in addition to regular premiums with all orders amounting to $2.50.

neatly gotten up. Anyone who will follow the plain 
general cultural directions you give can hardly fall in a 
region where Dahlias will grow at all."
