[“DAHLIAS - ] 
STRONG FIELD ROOTS 
My carefully selected collection of over 
two hundred distinct varieties of the 
Dahlia comprises some of the most won¬ 
derful creations to date. 
For profusion of bloom, quality and size 
of flowers, my Dahlias are unsurpassed. 
I have exercised a great deal of care and 
patience in my endeavor to obtain these 
results, and I have been successful. A 
trial order will convince.
