Do not force your Dahlias as many good plants 
and roots are loCt by this method. Use the garden rake 
more and not the garden hose. If you mu£t water give 
them a good soaking every ten days or two weeks and 
th en cultivate again after ground has dried out. Don’t 
try to bloom your Dahlias out of season where you have 
hot dry weather for it can’t be done with any success. 
I plant from about May 20th, up to July 4th. Late plant¬ 
ing makes the be£t bloom. My blooming season is from 
about September 1 st, until froCt, which is usually from 
October 10th, to November 1 st. LaCt fall froCt did not 
hit me until the morning of November 8th, and a very 
fine dry fall gave me mighty fine well matured roots. 
If your conditions are anything like mine try my plan 
and see if you don’t have success with Dahlias. 
G LADIOL US 
Owing to the increasing demand for more Dahlias 
it has become necessary for me to discontinue the grow¬ 
ing of some of my nice Gladiolus. So in order to save 
time and pass the quality on to you 1 have dumped 
several varieties together and I am going to sell the!m 
mixed and guarantee them to please. These are bloom¬ 
ing size bulbs with very few Prims among them. Not 
less than 100 at $1.50 per 100 unless ordered with 
Dahlias to the amount of $1.00 or more.

FAREWELL TO IN SECTS— GOOD-BY WORMS 
I have found the foregoing protection by promptly 
and regularly spraying with [RED ARROW] inseCt 
spray, mixed with water, to destroy both chewing 
and sucking insects. Though sure death to all insects, 
it is absolutely non-poisonous to human, domestic pets, 
birds, and has no harmful effect upon human when used 
on vegetables. It does not discolor, burn or injure the 
mo£t delicate plant tissues. 
Order your supply with your dahlia order, trial size 
35c. Quarter pint $1, write for price in larger quantity.
