Dahlia, Master Carl, averages 6 or 7 inches in diameter 
DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is the people’s flower. It makes a more gorgeous, dazzling display than any 
other outdoor-grown flower. Immense bloom can be had from our improved varieties, which 
in size, beauty and style rival the finest house-grown, single stem chrysanthemums. We 
have a magnificent collection of the best sorts grown. 
The Dahlia is of the easiest possible culture. Plant in good soil in the full sunlight, 
and keep the ground well worked or mulched, and you will be repaid by showers of bloom. 
When the frost kills the top, lift the roots and place in any cellar where they will not freeze. 
We offer strong, pot-grown plants that will bloom early and continuously, and be far more 
satisfactory than roots, which we do not sell.
