ALL THE ABOVE VARIETIES ARE r 
GREEN PLANTS 
Dahliadel plants are sprouts or cuttings taken from 
stock of named varieties, grown in specially built green¬ 
houses, rooted in sand benches in a propagating house, 
potted and grown inside until established, then moved 
to cold frames for hardening off, ready for shipping and 
field planting. 
The popularity of Dahliadel green plants is growing 
fast, and we suggest that you give them a trial on your 
next order if you are buying the higher-priced varieties, 
as plants are one-half root price in most cases. Green 
plants, when properly grown from healthy stock, give 
equal or better blooms than from roots, and most 
varieties make a nice clump. The way the plant is 
grown has a lot to do with root production, but we 
believe by following our cultural instructions you will 
have roots as well as blooms. 
Dahliadel green plants are properly grown and hard¬ 
ened for shipment and in our specially designed ship¬ 
ping box have been successfully sent all over the 
United States. 
E SAME FORM AS OLD HICKORY. 
THE WORLD (Dahliadel 85), c g e, Bloom 
9 x 414, Bush 5 ft. The coloring is an unusually 
rich, deep, rosy magenta, overlaid garnet, with 
silver shadings on edges of petals. A rich and 
beautiful combination of colors. Perfect, full 
centres. Stems are strong and erect. Foliage is 
thick and leathery. A good sturdy grower and a 
real prize winner that has gone far ahead of ex¬ 
pectations. This dahlia has good substance, but 
it is best not to let it bloom in the extreme hot 
weather, but cut back for blooms in cool weather, 
when the color will be as described.
