INTER-STATE’S PRIZE DAHLIAS 
Every daMia we sell is guaranteed to be satisfactory not only when you get it but ALSO 
WHEN IT BLOOMS. When you get them, notice how each individual tuber is wrapped 
separately with the eye carefully protected with sawdust. On each one you will find a 
number stamped with indelible ink. This number was put on at TIME OF DIGGING. 
That is why our dahlias ARE ALWAYS TRUE TO NAME. They are FULL OF PEP, 
VITALITY and will produce for you GREAT BIG BLOOMS. With every order we send 
complete planting instructions telling exactly how to plant them so you will grow PRIZE <

COLLECTION

on opposite page for only $1.00 
1 Fort Monmouth 1 Jersey Beauty

Where in all the world can you get these 4 
magnificent dahlias for this low price? 
You who love Dahlias, the great Au¬ 
tumn flower, will want these. We 
tell you frankly we have only 
4000 of these collections. 
They will go quickly at this 
extremely low price. 
You will notice that our “Each Price” on 
dahlias is low. Perhaps you wonder then, why 
we can put them into a collection and sell at a 
still lower price. There are two reasons why 
we can do it. In the first place we can send you 
the collection for almost the same expense as 
just one dahlia. In the second place, we plan 
far in advance for them. If we had to go out 
in the o])en market today and buy these dah¬ 
lias, we could not sell them to you at these 
prices. Our growing and our contract-growing 
is based on these advance plans as we know 
that when we offer such great values, we can 
depend on selling many thousands of collec¬ 
tions.

alone is worth the entire price of the collection. You wonder how we 
can possibly sell all 7 for only $1.00 (actually worth $1.70). We can 
only do it because we will sell thousands of these collections to dahlia 
lovers all over America who will immediately recognize what a great 
value it is.
