DAHLIA PLANTS 
are sprouts or cuttings taken from stock of named 
varieties, started early in the greenhouse, rooted 
in sand benches, potted and grown inside until 
established, then moved to cold frames for harden¬ 
ing off, ready for shipping and field planting. 
If you do not grow your dahlias from green plants, 
we suggest that you give them a trial, for, when 
properly grown from healthy stock and given the 
care that any plant requires, they will give you 
better blooms and will make a nice clump of roots 
for future plantings. However, they must be culti¬ 
vated and watered, and, if insects bother, sprayed 
with an insecticide. 
Dahlia Green Plants are ready for shipment after 
April 1st, and will bloom at about the same time as 
roots that have been planted three weeks earlier. 
The price of plants is one-half or less than the price 
of roots of the same variety. We recommend their 
use very highly, especially for our local conditions 
in Southern California.
