W. W. WILMORE, DAHLrIA SPECIALIST 
Brides' Bouquet 1922 (W) 
Sec Illustration, I'age 1. 
The loiig-looked-for ideal white cactus Dahlia. The illustration 
is convincing in itself. Of white cactus varieties there are many, and 
with them many defects. Brides' Bouquet combines their virtues, with 
weaknesses eliminated. Is this an extravagant claim? But wait. 
Brides' Bouquet is an early and profuse bloomer, purest white in color, 
flowers medium to large in size and of perfect form. Stems range in 
length from 12 to 20 inches, straight and erect, with the flower set at 
right angles from the stem. As a keeper when cut it has few equals, 
lasting for days. The plant is vigorous and well branched, attaining a 
height of 4 to 5 feet, and withal a splendid root-maker, valuable alike 
for home or florist's use. What more could be asked? Strong tubers, 
$3.00 each, $30.00 per dozen. 
TO MY THOUSANDS OF PATRONS, GRKETIXC: 
With the dawn of the year 1922. I pass my thirty-.sixth year as a com- 
mercial grower of Dahlias, and five earliei- years were pas.sed as an amateur 
grower. So far as known I am by far the olde.st specialist in Dahlia culture 
in this country: and issued the Hr.st exclu.sive Dahlia catalogue in the United 
States. These many years i»r iiractical experience among; the Dahlias place 
me in position to pass intelligently upon ttie Dahlia, its habits, needs and 
qualities. 
FBICES: I do not claim that my prices are the lowest; nor have I coveted 
the reputation of running a "cheap place." Nevertheless, my prices will 
be found quite reasonable and e\'en lower than others. RSMSMBER, 
AI.SO, THAT I SEN-D OUT STUONa TUBE'BS, NOT WEAKLY CrREEN 
VtJliHTS. Sijeeial attention of patrons is called to the li.st of Hardy 
Herbaceous Plants. They thrive almost anywhere that a weed would 
grow, requiring only reasonable care to get them well established. 
HOW TO ORDER: It would be well for each purchaser, when making out 
an order, to name several varieties as a second choice, for the reason that 
some of the varieties wanted may be out of stock when the order reaches 
me: or if not familiar with varieties. I will gladly make selections for 
you if you will mention the colors and forms wanted. I-.ong experience 
places each variety before me as an open book.

"THE DAHLIA MANUAL" 
(Revised Edition) 
By W. W. WILMOUE 
This work should be In the hands of every Dahlia grower, whether ama- 
teur or professional. It is a handsomely illustrated manual, written as a 
souvenir edition. 
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 storage, etc. This work will be sent postpaid for 25 
cents, or, if requested, it will be, sent with all orders amounting to Ifi.OU
