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 fin- 
est house grown, single stem Cflirysanthemums. We have a magnificent collection of the best sorts grown. 
The Dahlia is of tiio easlset possible culture. Plant in good soil in the full sunlight, and keep the ground well 
worked or mulched, and you will be repaid by sliowers 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.
