DAHLIAS 
The Best All-Season Flower in the World 
Dahlias will start blossoming six to eight weeks after planting, 
and keep on blooming until killed by frost. From some varieties 
you can cut as many as two hundred blossoms from a single bulb. 
Your choice in form and coloring is almost unlimited.

Plant these Montbretlas 
This Month 
The Montbretias are among 
the brightest of our summer- 
flowering bulbs, and deserve 
to be planted extensively. 
Plant bulbs 3 to 6 inches 
apart, in clumps of a dozen or 
more. 
Star of the East 
Considered by many as the 
finest of Mr. Davison’s hybrid 
Montbretias. It far outranks 
in height, luxuriance of foli- 
age, and size of flower any 
that we offer. The color is a 
very attractive bright orange, 
with a light lemon-yellow 
throat, tinged maroon. The 
flower measures fully 3 inches 
across. We offer a limited 
number of bulbs of our own 
growing this year at $1.50 
each, $15 per doz.
