THE “ALL AMERICA” COLLECTION OF DAHLIAS 
SHOWN IN COLORS ON OPPOSITE PAGE 
The great and growing desire for useful garden flowers and the wonderful varieties recently introduced have brought the Dahlia 
into general demand. Their easy culture and showy appearance are well known. The varieties we offer in the “All America co ection 
have been selected from the newer sorts. We have included the Cactus, Paeony and Decorative types and have endeavored to get as 
great a contrast of color as possible. They should give an abundance of flowers for cutting and provide a continuous display in 
the garden. “Dahlia Culture” by Charles Henderson. An Eight-page pamphlet, free upon request with order.
