Smith-Fleming Dahlia Gardens 
Our 1935 Introduction 
MOTHER’S DAY is an early bloomer and a won¬ 
derful cut flower, we have counted as many as nine 
blooms at one time on a plant. We never crown out 
any of the plants as the laterals develop very rapidly, 
and as soon as the first bloom is open many more 
buds are ready to break. 
The blooms average 9 to 11 inches without forcing. 
They are very full and deep and appear to be snow 
white, but on close inspection you will find that some 
of the petals are slightly flecked with carmine. 
The stems are long and cane like holding the 
blooms upright well above the heavy insect resistant 
foliage. We know of no other dahlia that grows 
just like it. 
A limited number of roots, $5.00 
Plants, $2.50
