DAHLIAS, Dwarf Bedding Type, Salbach re¬ 
selections. (Sometimes called “Unwin Dwarf 
Dahlias”). One of the most outstanding of 
all recent seed offerings, being ideal for 
bedding, fine for cutting, and having a long 
blooming period. Unusually effective in the 
garden, as is evidenced by the universally 
favorable comment among many visitors 
who have seen the splendid display made by 
these bedding dahlias in our own experi¬ 
mental gardens. Recommended by Sydney 
B. Mitchell, considered the West’s leading 
garden authority, as one of the finest new 
things he has ever tried in his own garden. 
Dahlia hybridizing has always been one of 
our strong points, and Mr. Salbach has given 
this remarkable strain of dwarf dahlias the 
same personal attention that has gained him 
a ranking as one of the world’s foremost 
hybridizers of dahlias, gladiolus, and iris. 
We believe that our strain of dwarf bedding 
dahlias is now the finest in existence. 
Single and semi-double flowers on plants 
twelve to twenty inches high. Good keepers, 
invaluable in small bouquets, and striking in 
the garden. Require little space and the
