DAHLIAS 
DAHLIAS. The Wonderful New Golden Yellow Cactus Dahlia 
Golden Gate, winner of numerousfirst prizes and certificates of merit. 
The Golden Gate caused a sensation when exhibited in New York 
and other parts of the country. Introduced by us 1914. and is now 
considered by the leading Dahlia Specialists and other Horticultur- 
ists to be the finest, largest, and best blooming Dahlia in cultiva- 
tion. Three to six immense large blooms open at one time, on extra 
long stems. An exceptionally good keeping cut flower. Your 
garden is not complete without this wonderful chrysanthemum-like 
Dahlia, for the beautiful dazzling golden yellow color of the flowers 
will delight and attract everyone. This Dahlia is drought, blight, and 
insect proof, and will bloom when all others fail, and is to Dahlias 
what the King Humbert is to Cannas or the American Beauty is to 
Roses. Testimonials received daily confirming above claims from 
last year customers. Special Introductory Offer: 1 whole root of the 
Golden Gate special price, postpaid 50c. each, $5.00 a dozen. Regu-
