Dahlias 
READY ABOUT APRIU 1ST 
CULTURE. Plant from May to July. Tubers should be planted about 
6 inches deep, laid flat, eyes or sprout up. Allow at least 3 feet between 
plants, each way. Do not allow over three stalks to grow. Stake the 
plants. Keeping the suckers pulled off will produce the finest blooms. 
After frost dig and store in a dry place where they will not freeze. 
Covering the tubers with peat moss is very satisfactory. 
The size of the tuber does not in any way designate the size or quality 
of the flower. Some varieties of dahlias always produce very small 
bulbs, while other varieties make larger ones. 
Our stock is CHOICE FIELD-GROWN Roots, strong divisions. 
J. Chas. McCullough Dahlia 
INFORMAL DECORATIVE 
The Dahlia we have been looking for. A winner of first prize ribbons 
at the Dahlia Show held at Fleischmann Gardens in Cincinnati, Oct. 4th 
and 5th, 1930, also Oct. 3rd and 4th, 1931, by the National Gardeners’ 
Association, and various other flower shows. J. Charles McCullough is 
a gigantic flower that is easily one of the largest, handsomest and most 
outstanding of late introductions. The color is an amaranth-pink with 
marks of rose-pink. Markings of white on nearly all petals. Flowering 
habit very prolific. 
J. CHAS. McCULLOUGH Dahlia blooms early and profusely. It has 
long stems, a stiff neck and finely cut foliage that forms a background 
for the flower even when disbudded. Even when neglected this Dahlia 
blooms beautifully and is satisfactory; but when cared for by the Dahlia 
enthusiast, its loveliness can be surpassed by none. The flowers are full 
to the center and keep indefinitely when cut. The plant is a strong, 
sturdy grower and will be a continual delight to all of our customers 
who are fortunate enough to own it. Each, 75c. 
AMELIA EARHART ("Semi Cactus). The outstanding introduction of 
1933 and one of the largest dahlias grown. The formation and color 
are most artistic—a semi cactus of orange-buff, with base of petals 
primrose. A splendid bloomer, being considered one of the best. 
Each, $2.50. 
ANDREA ERICKSON (Decorative). Large, very pure white. Free- 
flowering and vigorous. Each $1.25.

of its color. Each, 5Cto.

very large flowers from early to late. Each, 50c.

sion; extra large flowers of graceful formation. Each, 50c. 
JANE COWL (Decorative). Deep massive blooms of bronzy buff and 
old gold, blending darker toward the perfect center. The netals are

large Dahlias. A wonderful exhibition flower. Each, 50c.

ing in a class by itself. Very vigorous and clean grower on perfect
