EXHIBITION DAHLIAS 
We have so many inquiries for the best of our new dahlias for exhibition that we give below a list of 
29 varieties which for size, coloring, form, stem and keeping qualities, when properly grown will be most difficult 
to beat. In this collection we have four that were largest on our farms, while Rodman Wanamaker produced 
26 consecutive flowers, not disbudded, ranging from 9J4, to 11 yi inches in diameter. We believe Rodman 
Wanamaker to be the World’s largest Dahlia, while Zeus, Mae Grefe and Claire Kulp are wonders. 
And yet size is only a fraction; the varieties below have all the other requisites, most notably, wonderful 
coloring and stiff stems. One of our customers, with only three years experience, won 9 prizes at a noted 
exhibition in spirited competition with experienced professional growers. 
We especially recommend all these varieties and they are included in our guarantee of entire satisfaction.

WHAT OTHERS SAY 
St. John, N. B., Oct. 26, 1923. 
Peacock Dahlia Farms, Berlin, N. J. 
Gentlemen: I exhibited Dahlias (many of them purchased 
from you) at the St. John Exhibition and won all the first prizes 
against eight other contestants. I have had many enquiries as to 
where I purchase my bulbs, so the thought occurred to me, that the 
best way to do was to send you the names of these parties and 
have you mail them your catalogue when it is ready. This 
would make sure of getting your catalogue into the hands of 
actual growers. I am enclosing another sheet with names and 
addresses. Yours sincerely, J. H. BARTON. 
Cressona Pa., April 10, 1923. 
Peacock Dahla Farms, Berlin, N. J. 
Gentlemen: The dahlias arrived today. I wish to thank 
you for the fine tubers you sent me, I was surprised to find four 
tubers instead of the three I had ordered, I had no idea when I 
mentioned, my disappointment with Kalif, last year that you would 
duplicate it, I appreciate it very much, you certainly do all 
you can to please your customers. 
I can hardly wait until those dahlias bloom, thanking 
you again. 
I am sincerely yours, MRS. FRANK KROMMES.

your 1924 catalogue of dahlias. I purchased some from you for

have some for myself.

wonderful colorings, admired by all my dahlia friends.

of Dahlias to my brother, who is a great lover of flowers, whose 
address is 
Mr. George A. Smith, Waterbury, Conn,

Peacock Dahlia Farms, Berlin, N. J. 
Dear Sir: While visiting my daughter in N. J. last fall, we 
motored out to your Dahlia Farms one Sunday. I never would 
have believed they were so beautiful had any one told me and 
such size. I felt proud of my own dahlias before but since seeing 
those, I don’t think so much of them.

Dear Sirs: I was told by a friend what wonderful Dahlias 
he had raised from your Bulbs and am asking you if you would 
kindly mail me your latest catalogue. 
And Oblige, Wm. BUNN.
