Johnston's Dahlia Farm 
Joel Johnston, Prop. 
CHARLEVOIX, MICHIGAN 
If you are a lover of flowers, especially the Dahlia;-bbelieve you 
will be interested in some of my Northern Grown Bulbs. 
You have possibly learned that the farther North the bulbs are 
grown the more pep they have and the better the blooms will be. 
I grow my bulbs in NORTHERN MICHIGAN, about 300 miles north 
of Detroit, but on LAKE MICHIGAN shore. On U. S. 31. 
The bulbs are field grown and not killed nor weakened by the use 
of strong fertilizers, for the purpose of making large blooms. 
I take most orders while the Dahlias are in bloom in the field, as 
then you can see them in their real beauty, in this way you get the nat¬ 
ural description, and it takes a choice Dahlia to hold space in my collec¬ 
tion. otherwise it is discarded. 
This is my rason for not issuing a catalogue, and I am here only 
giving prices on a few of my choice varieties. I quote the Dahlias by the 
single strong division and guarantee them to grow. But I quote the Glad¬ 
iolus by the dozen, but will sell in half dozen. 
Johnston’s Dalhias are different for he is “The Originator” of many 
of his choice varieties and no other commercial growers have them. 
Each year I am adding on to my choice list the choicest varieties 
that other companies! in the United States have produced. 
I hold my customers by fair dealing and get new ones by the same 
method. 
Many of these blooms are from 8 to 12 inches in diameter.
