Jersey's Beauty Dahlia 
Dahlias 
READY ABOUT APRIL 1ST 
CULTURE. Plant from May to July. Tubers should be planted about 
6 inches deep, laid flat, eyes or sprout up. Allow at least 3 feet between 
plants, each way. Do not allow over three stalks to grow. Stake the 
plants. Keeping the suckers pulled off will produce the finest blooms. 
After frost dig and store in a dry place where they will not freeze. 
Covering the tubers with peat moss is very satisfactory. 
The size of the tuber does not in any way designate the size or quality 
of the flower. Some varieties of dahlias always produce very small 
bulbs, while other varieties make la rger ones. 
Our stock is CHOICE FIELD-GROWN Roots, strong divisions. 
J. CHAS. McCULLOUGH Dahlia blooms early and profusely. It has 
long stems, a stiff neck and finely cut foliage that forms a background 
for the flower even when disbudded. Even when neglected this Dahlia 
blooms beautifully and is satisfactory; but when cared for by the Dahlia 
enthusiast, its loveliness can be surpassed by none. The flowers are full 
to the center and keep indefinitely when cut. The plant is a strong, 
sturdy grower and will be a continual delight to all of our customers 
who are fortunate enough to own it. Each, 50c. 
AMELIA EARHART (Semi Cactus). The outstanding introduction of 
1933 and one of the largest dahlias grown. The formation and color

primrose. A splendid bloomer, being considered one of the best. 
Each, $1.50. 
AVALON (Decorative). Pure clear yellow, the large flowers are very 
distinct and pleasing, always with a full center. One of the best
