S HALLOW bowls are still popular for dining table us » 
though the newer patterns indicate that those witl 
short pedestals are gaining somewhat over the fla 
shapes. 1 hese pedestals are very good looking, mar' 
of them having some little ornament that gives them a 
classic look. 
Frequently the handles express this as is the case of ’

—DAHLIAS— 
STRONG FIELD ROOTS 
My carefully selected collection of over two hun- 
dred distinct varieties of the Dahlia comprises 
some of the most wonderful creations to date. 
For profusion of bloom, quality and size of flowers, 
my Dahlias are unsurpassed. I have exercised a 
great deal of care and patience in my endeavor to 
obtain these results, and I have been successful. 
A trial order will convince.

column, where a slight dissimilarity of curves seems 
to add to its beauty. These pottery dishes are excel- 
lent for fruits as well as flowers, their glazes blend- 
ing softly with the colors of the fruits and flowers. 
This one has 
dainty sprays of 
blue and green 
flowers on a pink 
putty ground. 
Not a less in- 
teresting decora- 
tion is the ma‘ 
hogany table 
shown here which 
is especially de- 
signed to hold 
cut flowers and 
plants. Its good 
looks speak well 
for it and its price 
is only $10. The 
large crackle bowl 
on it costs $4. 
Tubs for grow- 
ing plants are 
not easy to find. 
They are too 
heavy and 
clumsy, and at 
best are far too 
expensive for the 
ordinary purse. 
The tin lined 
wicker basket il- 
lustrated has 
none of these 
draw-backs, being 
light weight, 
cheap — $5 com- 
plete — and good 
looking, and is 
strong enough to 
last many years.
