DAHLIAS, EXHIBITION PRIZE-»*mnti\o 
In this group we offer you the choicest of all exhibition 
varieties—Dahlias without a fault, perfect in shape, unparal¬ 
leled in size—every one with long, rigid stems, holding the 
flowers boldly erect, and healthy, vigorous growers with 
luxuriant foliage. Stems 3 to 4 feet high are the average—5 to 
7-foot ones are not uncommon. This is a collection that will 
make you a Dahlia fan. We offer both dormant roots and green 
plants. In ordering, please specify which is wanted. Roots can 
be sent from March to May; green plants from April 15 to 
June 15. If you wish to exhibit at the fall Dahlia shows, we 
recommend the green plants to be set out during June. Allow 
three to four leaders per plant, and remove all side buds if 
you want real fine, large flowers and long stems.
