The Dalllia is the grandest autumn flower we have; nothing is its 
equal in any respect in September or October. It is in its glory when 
almost everything else is faded or fading, and surrenders only to the 
frost king. We have a large collection of the double and single, 
large flowering, bouquet and pompon varieties. Leave the selection 
of varieties to us ; we can make you a selection which will delight 
any lover of this beautiful flower. Our stock forms the largest, 
finest and most varied collection in the country. Put Dahlia tubers 
in the ground when the season becomes warm, covering the neck 
some three inches ; if many shoots start, thin them out. After flow- 
ering, and before hard frosts, take up the plants, remove the tops, 
dry the bulbs a little, and put in the cellar till spring, when they can 
be divided and replanted. Look at them occasionally during the 
winter to see that they are not shriveling from too dry an atmos- 
phere, nor starting the eye early in consequence of too much moisture 
or warmth— 15c. each; $1.50 per do-/..
