Pot Roots 
D ahlia pot roots (pot clumps) have been used extensively in Europe for many 
years. Dahlia growers in this country are not yet acquainted with their 
great value. For the past five years we have been trying them out at our farm 
and have found that they are superior in vigor to any other kind of Dahlia plant¬ 
ing stock, producing stronger bushes, better flowers and bigger clumps. 
Directions: On pages 17 to 19 of this book, we have listed pot clumps of 
several varieties. Shipment will be made April 15th or later. When received these 
small clumps should be started in a pot or box to show eyes, then divided using 
a very thin knife or razor blade and the divisions planted in pots or boxes 
until plant is well grown about six inches high: must have plenty of sun so as 
not to be too spindly. Then place outdoors in full sunlight for V 2 day keeping 
roots cool and moist, and the following day or shortly thereafter, plant in the 
garden or field where it is to grow. 
WE GUARANTEE AT LEAST TWO (2) DIVISIONS FROM EACH POT CLUMP
