IT may seem strange, but it is a 
1 fact that among the hundreds 
of distinct and beautiful varieties 
of Dahlias which I grow, I like 
some better than others. On this 
page I am listing all prize win¬ 
ners. They are not as expensive 
as some other Dahlias that you 
will read about, but they are 
beautiful nevertheless, and will 
give you bushels of joy. Please 
order right from this advertise¬ 
ment. Every bulb sent is fully 
guaranteed to bloom if you take 
reasonable care of the plants.
