DAHLIAS. 
The increasing demand for these beautiful fall blooming 
plants has stimulated growers to produce improvement in 
size, form and colors. We offer the following named sorts 
which embrace some of the old standard varieties as well as 
the newer approved kinds. Planting should not be made 
until danger of frost is past in May. The bulbs should be 
lifted as soon as foliage is injured by first frost in fall, dried, 
packed in sand and stored during winter in a warm place.
