Superb Dahlias 
There are numberless kinds and types of these 
fine flowers and with the new introductions being 
added each year it is quite impossible to keep 
abreast with all of them. But there are many out¬ 
standing kinds that have proven their merit, and 
we offer some of these in the following list. 
We have made arrangements with a leading 
specialist in Dahlias to supply those offered here, 
and most any of the novelties and recent intro¬ 
ductions. 
Under “Collections” and “Special Offers” will 
be found a large variety of very choice kinds at 
very special prices. 
These collections have proven very popular and 
satisfactory to our customers. 
Time to Plant —Dahlias should not be planted 
until the ground has warmed up thoroughly and 
all danger of frost or chilling has passed. June 
1st is usually the best time to plant Dahlias. 
Either plants or tubers will grow and do better, 
give better results when no check or setback 
takes place. 
Although the growing of Dahlias is very simple, 
we have prepared cultural instructions which will 
be included with all Dahlia orders or sent free 
on request.
