LARGE FLOWERING DAHLIAS 
OF NEW AND STANDARD VARIETIES 
JANE COWL 
One of the most showy of the antiimn flowers, 
will thrive in most any well enriched soil with a 
sunny exposure. Their culture is most simple; any 
extra attention given to the growing plants is re¬ 
paid by larger and more blooms. Frecpient culti¬ 
vation is essential. Large clumps or roots should 
be divided, leaving one or two eyes to the tuber. 
Time for planting varies according to the climate, 
but is safe after all danger of late frost is past. 
Planting time for this latitude is from about May 
10th to the end of .June. Tubers should he planted 
six inches deep, laid flat, ej’es or sprouts upward. 
The following varieties we offer are healthy field 
grown divided roots, two eyes and iip, good piant- 
Ing size and true to name.

5 per cent will be given.
