MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
The popularity of the smaller types of Dahlias is most rapidly in¬ 
creasing. More people are learning their usefulness for beds and bor¬ 
ders, and their size particularly adapt them for table and other indoor 
decorations. Their freedom of bloom insure an abundant supply of 
flowers from early to late.

TEDDY JOHNSON. This has been mentioned as Ball type, but inas¬ 
much as it grows only about three inches in diameter we think it 
more properly fits into the new Miniature section, which is so fast 
becoming popular. It is extremely free in flowering, and it makes 
a rapid compact growth which is ideal for a solid bed or border. 
We also find it very useful for decoration. The color is soft rose pink 
decidedly shaded white. Why not try a dozen for a border or to cover 
an unsightly fence? Roots $ .50 each Per dozen $5.00

DAHLIA SEED 
The growing of Dahlias from seed is very fascinating, for you never 
know what a seed will produce and each plant is a new variety. The 
seed should be planted in the house or a cold frame during late March 
or early April and transplanted to the garden when the weather is 
suitable, usually about the middle of May. We have a limited amount 
of our own seed which we can supply at $1.00 per package of about 
100 seed. 
DAHLIA LABELS. 2 % -inch copper wired, painted one side. The same 
as we use in our own garden. Not postpaid unless shipped with a 
root order. 
$ .25 per 50 $ .40 per 100 $2.85 per 1,000
