Missouri Dahlia in blooming season. 
All plants “tipped” once. 
This marvelous “cutting Dahlia” will 
produce immense blooms that will keep 
and ship and bring growers a fine re¬ 
turn. 
Below, Bibb’s Grace in a patch, 
tipped twice. Result, low growth, 
long stems, lots of flowers. 
ONE OF OUR MANY UNSOLICITED 
TESTIMONIALS 
Gainesville, Fla., May 21. 1935. 
"Locust Valley Dahlia Farm. 
“Wm. A. Finger, .lr.. Mgr. 
“We want to take this opportunity to thank you 
for the fine Dahlias sent us earlier in the season. 
We bought from you both in February and in March 
for our own planting, and the first lot. Jersey’s 
Reauty. Mrs. J. de Ver Warner, Francis Laroceo. Le 
Toreador and Jane Oowl are now in full bloom, and 
I have never seen finer plants and bloom, and we 
have been growing them for many years. T am glad 
to have found a grower from whom I can get high- 
grade, healthy, dependable Dahlias, and next season 
I intend to mail you my complete order for all my 
Dahlia needs early in the season. Tour tubers 
sprouted practically 100 per cent and all produced 
strong, vigorous plants with very unusually fine 
bloom. You may quote me to anyone. No better 
stock can be bought anywhere than that you 
shipped me. 
"Respectfully, 
“McKINSTRY THE FLORIST, 
"Per R. D. McKinstry.”
