Superb Exhibition DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the very satisfactory flowers for the home flower garden. The bulbs 
are inexpensive, almost sure to grow and produce most attractive flowers, lasting up to frost 
time. 
Many of the newer varieties are wonderful in size and colorings, while every one in our list 
is of merit. We urge customers to add a few of the newer varieties. 
There are several classes of Dahlias, such as Show Dahlias, Peony-Flowered, Decor¬ 
ative, Cactus, and Pompon. We have included in our assortment some of each. You can 
get a very complete Dahlia garden planting from this assortment. Culture Leaflet on Dahlias 
free for the ashing*. 
In this list you get the very cream of choice varieties. The tubers are all properly labeled. 
Please do not judge the merit of the flower by the size of the bulb, since some of the very 
best are extremely small bulbs.
