Dahlias 
Within the last year or two there has 
been a wonderful revival of interest 
in the Dahlia. This, to a great ex- 
tent, is due to the introduction of the 
dwarf, profuse-blooming varieties that 
a few years ago were unheard of. 
We offer a collection of the best Cactus 
and Decorative Dahlias in red, white, 
yellow, pink, variegated and all inter- 
mediate shades.

mer, 20 cts. each, $2 per doz., $1 2 per 100,
