Try a package of my Chryspopcan seed. 
VISITORS ARE WELCOME 
You are cordially invited to bring along as many friends as you possibly 
can to my gardens at any time after August 15th and see this magnificent 
sight. You are under no obligation to buy, but welcomed and I will be as 
happy to see you as you will be to see this magnificent collection of gorgeous 
massive flowers in all of the colors, shades, and tints of the rainbow. 
I will have over 300 varieties, most of them Honor Roll dahlias, as well 
as many promising seedlings, and many new ones sent by other growers for 
trial and that have not been released for sale as yet, as well as many new 
novelties. 
DIRECTIONS TO MY GARDENS: By auto follow the Boston Post Road 
to Grace Avenue, here turn east for 500 feet, and you are in the center of 
my gardens. 
By train: Take the N. Y. Westchester & Boston R. R. and get off at the 
Baychester Avenue station, from which my gardens can be seen and are less 
than 100 feet away, as my gardens run parallel with the railroad tracks. 
We want to thank those who have sent to us Seedlings for trial this past 
season. Assure you we have given them the best of attention. We would ap¬ 
preciate receiving more of them for the coming season providing they are good. 
We will do all we can to put them over. 
If there is any variety that you’re interested in and don’t find listed, 
write to us, we may be able to accommodate you, as we have many more 
varieties but only in small quantities, and that is why we have not listed 
them. 
To grow better dahlias, we urgently request all readers and customers to 
subscribe to the FLOWER GROWER MAGAZINE. This is one of the finest 
Publications on Gardening in general, on dahlias particularly. For more in¬ 
formation regarding a subscription write to the J. B. LYON COMPANY,
