Anybody can grow Dahlias success¬ 
fully. They are as easy to grow as 
potatoes. 
To rapidly increase the constantly 
growing list of members of the Ameri¬ 
can Dahlia Society, a strong root of 
each of three grand Dahlias is offered 
to new members. 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 three Dahlias described 
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.

For 40 years, 
STOKES SEEDS 
have been noted for 
reliability. This qual¬ 
ity is reflected in our 
catalog. It is truthful 
in mentioning weak¬ 
nesses, conservative 
in praising points of 
merit. The usual con¬ 
fusion of varietal 
names is avoided by 
using the name given 
by the introducer. 
The origin, history, 
culture and use of 
nearly every item is 
clearly stated.
