WILL YOU ACCEPT 
Three Fine DAHLIAS 
AS A GIFT? 
You may have them in time 
for Spring planting. 
Ningret, Rich, Dark Red, 
Clouded and Striped Lighter. 
Powhatan, Dark, Crushed Straw¬ 
berry. Beautiful shading. Free 
bloomer. 
Frances Lane, Light Lavender, 
Red. Very wonderfully shaded. 
To rapidly increase the con¬ 
stantly swelling tide of the grow¬ 
ing list of members of the Amer¬ 
ican Dahlia Society, a strong root 
of each of these three grand 
Dahlias is offered to new mem¬ 
bers. The regular price is one 
dollar each, three dollars for the 
three roots. 
Membership in the American 
Dahlia Society includes: 
1. The Quarterly Bulletin, giving 
Dahlia culture and Dahlia notes and 
news of the world. Some say a single 
issue is worth a year’s dues. 
2. A season ticket to the Society’s 
great Dahlia Show. 
The annual dues are two dollars, 
with nothing more whatever to pay. 
If you wish the three Dahlias de¬ 
scribed above, remit the amount of 
the annual dues, two dollars, and 
fifty cents extra to pay the expense, 
and the three dollar Dahlias will be 
delivered anywhere in the United 
States postpaid, and your name will 
be enrolled as a member with all 
dues for the year fully paid. 
The Dahlias were grown by one of 
the largest and best growers of 
Dahlias in the world. Needless to 
say, the offer must be withdrawn 
when the supply arranged for has 
been exhausted, so please be prompt 
in ordering. Address,

nials we ever grew and as hardy 
and robust as an oak. In early 
summer plants send up a dozen or 
more slender wirey stems from 
each crown to the height of four 
or five feet. These carry beauti¬ 
ful foliage and about three feet 
of lovely star-like blossoms and 
buds. Color rosy scarlet, very 
showy and brilliant. These great 
flaming torches of bloom show 
for two months. A free and easy 
grower anywhere. Strong, two- 
year plants which will bloom fine¬ 
ly this season.

$2.00; 20 for $5.00. 
AUTUMN GLORY 
( Helianthus Questifolius ) 
This has proved to be the most 
magnificent very late flower we 
have grown. It blooms long after 
frost has killed everything else. 
In fact, it does not begin to bloom 
till about time for frost. It then 
stands five to seven feet high and 
the great massive branches burst 
out into a sheet of solid bloom 
of the clearest and richest golden 
yellow, like our famous Golden 
Glow but still more showy. Grows 
readily from seed, also from roots. 
From seed it blooms the first sea¬ 
son, attaining full size and perfec¬ 
tion. There is nothing like it. It 
is positively the greatest introduc¬ 
tion of recent years.

Per pkt., 25c: 3 for 60c. Sure to
