GREEN DAHLIA PLANTS 
Our clumps are tagged for Propagating in the field. 
We select those that grow the fastest, have the best stems 
and the largest blooms, and that continue to throw large 
perfect blooms until frost. This is done throughout the 
entire season with all the varieties that we expect to grow 
plants of. At digging time these tagged clumps are stored 
in a separate place kept at a uniform temperature of about 
40 degrees until about January 10th, when we bench them. 
We allow the clumps to remain in the ground ten days 
after frost to store up additional food and it took us just 
two weeks to harvest the crop of roots, with three ex¬ 
perienced men to do the digging. 
Our Roots and Plants are your best investment for 1934. 
An actual photograph of a clump of Kemp’s 
White Wonder measuring 16 inches across, grown 
from a green plant. This proves what we claim 
for Zant’s plants.

Send your promising seedlings to our new trial gardens 
to prove their worth. See how they grow in the Great Cen¬ 
tral States; a certificate of merit or a score of 85 or better 
will certainly put you on the Dahlia map. The gardens are 
under the direct supervision of Prof. C. E. Wildon, of 
Michigan State College, and also the Secretary and Treas¬ 
urer of the Dahlia Society of Michigan. Visit the gardens 
often during the season, get first hand information on 
the planting, spraying and storing of Dahlias. See the new 
varieties on trial.
