Dahlia Novelties for 1921 
The list of Dahlias offered today is bewildering in size, variety and loveliness. The 
best we can do is select the kinds that give the most general satisfaction and which we 
consider give us about all the colors that are necessary in the eultivation of this wonderful 
flower. Dahlias, naturally do better along the seashore, on account of the large amount of 
moisture usually present in that location. The time of planting in our section we have 
found is best in June. By waiting until the season is quite well advanced, we have found 
the plants seem to come away and bloom more freely. 
If the plants are set out in good rich soil and cultivated once a week and staked so 
that each plant is allowed a space of from 2 to 4 feet to grow in, little more care is neces¬ 
sary for their successful culture. 
New Type “Star Dahlias” 
Price: $1.00 each, $10.00 per doz. 
This new type of Dahlia has become wonderfully popular, proving itself ‘^a thing of 
beauty and a joy to every amateur” all over the land. 
We imported these varieties some years before the war but did not have sufficient 
stock of any of them to disseminate before this time. We found on a recent visit to 
Great Britain, that these were the most popular flowers for the cut flower markets, and 
we feel they are destined to be tremendously popular in this 
country. The stock of all varieties is limited. 
CRAWLEY STAR 
Lovely shade of deep rose- 
pink with a scarlet zone in 
the center. The brilliant yel¬ 
low eye in the center of the 
llower gives it a very distinc¬ 
tive appearance. 
CRAWLEY STAR 
In our own trial grounds, they excite delighted comments 
from every visitor to the establishment. 
Culture. —The culture of Dahlias is very simple. They 
will give splendid results in any good garden soil. This “Star” 
type, should be planted 3 feet apart. They grow to a height 
of about 4 feet and then the flowers tower over the heavy foliage 
of the plants for about 18 
inches. In other words, the 
flowers have stems of about 
18 inches and are perfectly 
rigid and erect in growth. 
The planting time of 
Dahlias is important. We 
figure in planting in our own 
section that stock planted too 
early in the season is not suc¬ 
cessful, therefore, we do not 
suggest planting Dahlias until 
the season is well advanced. 
We offer the following va¬ 
rieties in the “Star” Type. 
Green plants. May and June 
delivery.
