BUTZER’S DAHLIAS—ORDER EARLY 
No plant in the floral kingdom has made such marked improvement in size, form and coloring in the past 
few years as has the Dahlia. Words are inadequate to describe them. There is a touch of grandeur and mag¬ 
nificence about them that baffles description. The blossoms are wonderful in form and size, and embrace a glor¬ 
ious range of coloring, with almost an endless number of combinations impossible to describe. It has a blooming 
season of about four months, commencing in mid-summer and lasting until frost, and for landscape and gar¬ 
den decoration it stands supreme. 
Our offerings of Dahlias are only those varieties which we have found to be entirely satisfactory to planters 
in general. There are hundreds of worthless varieties with which the amateur is not familiar, and would con¬ 
sequently have more difficulty in choosing properly if they were included among the listings. You may have no 
hesitancy in selecting any variety from this list. 
For those who do not know the different varieties of Dahlias or feel that they do not know which ones to 
select, we have prepared several fine collections which are offered on another page at greatly reduced prices, in 
order to get you acquainted with this beautiful flower. 
Dahlia bulbs are ready for shipment about April 15th. You may include them in your order for seeds and 
they will be sent when ready. 
In this locality we recommend planting about May 1st and bulbs will be shipped the latter part of April. 
Upon arrival bulbs should be planted at once if ground has been prepared for them, if not they should be left 
in box covered with packing material as received and packing should be moistened so as to keep them from 
drying out. Keep them well covered and away from sunlight and air as it is very harmful to the bulbs to leave 
them laying around, exposed, before planting them. 
DAHLIA CULTURE —Dahlias will grow to perfection in any good garden soil and should be planted where 
they will get plenty of sun although they will do very well if planted in a location that is partially shaded. 
Holes should be dug about three feet apart each way and the bulbs planted 5 to 6 inches deep, laying them 
flat in the bottom of the hole. Under no circumstances should they be stood on end. Cover bulb with not more 
than 2 inches of finely pulverized soil at first and as plant makes growth hole should be gradually filled in.
