Beautiful Dahlias 
It is not many years since the only dahlias were comparatively small 
and quite uniform in type. By careful breeding, new forms, giant size 
and remarkable colorings have made the old types obsolete and today 
there are hundreds of splendid varieties, worthy of a place in any 
flower show. Dahlia lovers have formed strong Dahlia Societies in al¬ 
most every state as wcii as the American Dahlia Society of national 
scope. These organizations encourage the introduction of new kinds 
and grade them according to merit. We offer you the followingjva- 
rieties at moderate prices. They have been carefully grown to bring out 
the best in each variety. Instructions for growing, packed with each 
order, free.

surely liked them. So our back cover color plate collection offers both of these 
with two other varieties at a bargain price. Plant them in your own garden
