Plump Roots and Started Green Plants from Pots 
No Flo WP r ^ ias * 3een so materially improved in the past ten years as the Dahlia. To compare the 
riowgr new varieties with flowers ten to thirteen inches across with the older types is a reve¬ 
lation to the average grower. Florists who are not growing the new and better varieties ar-e neglecting a 
big opportunity for increased profits. 
We are growing a very complete collection of the new varieties, selecting each year only those which 
show decided commercial merit and improvement. Each one of the new varieties listed is an improvement 
over anything yet introduced. Compare our prices with those of reliable growers—and place your order today.
