STANDARD AND CUT FLOWER DAHLIAS 
At the risk of being termed “out of date” we are listing a group of 
old time favorites and desirable cut flower sorts. They have been grown 
in the gardens of dahlia lovers for many years and many of them will 
be still grown after the present day wonders have been forgotten. Their 
very moderate prices furnish an opportunity to brighten up your garden 
with some real worth while, dependable dahlias at a very little expense.

ever dahlias are grown. The flowers are large and globular in form. 
It is a prolific bloomer and very rigid stems. Roots S .35 
JERSEY’S BEAUTY (F. D.) There is no doubt more of this grown for 
the cut flower markets than any other one variety. The lovely pink 
color, and the many other good points, such as long erect stems, and 
good keeping qualities, make it one of our finest standard varieties. 
It should be cut back and induced to branch to secure the maximum 
number of flowers. Roots S .50

keeping qualities, and stand erect on the best of stems. The color is 
also very pleasing, being a delicate orchid shading to white.
