BRAND PEONY FARMS, Inc 
Decorative Type of Dahlia. 
DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia will grow in any good soil. In the moist sections of 
the country planting can be done after all danger of frost is over. 
In dryer parts planting should be delayed until later so as to bring 
the growth on in the late summer when it is cooler, as the Dahlia is 
at its best in rather cool weather. Tubers should be planted 6 inches 
deep, laid flat, with the eyes or sprouts up. 
We carry a splendid list of Dahlias. We try to keep only the best 
sorts; that is, the fine kinds that give the most satisfaction to the 
most people. The summer of 1934 was the worst summer we ever 
went through for growing Dahlias and still we had wonderful Dahlias 
without the use of any water or fertilizer. This season after visiting 
many Dahlia plantings, we have added a few kinds to our list. You 
will find all of them good. 
Prices of all Dahlias, unless otherwise noted: Strong tubers, 50c 
each; $5.00 ner 12.
