"Easier Greeting” 
A Very Worth-While New Cut 
Flower Dahlia 
This wonderful Dahlia is a cactus 
type, dwarf compact grower, liter¬ 
ally covering itself with a glisten¬ 
ing white bloom. We have grown 
this for two summers and are well 
pleased with it. "Easter Greetings" 
is a very profitable variety to plant 
in the open ground for cut flowers 
throughout the summer. It is an 
early flowering variety, in bloom 
with us three or four weeks before 
any other Dahlia, which makes it 
profitable from a commercial 
standpoint, due to its long bloom¬ 
ing period. 
Offered in 2 Vi-inch Pot Plants only. Delivery 
beginning April 15, 1938. 
Price per 100... $20.00 Per 1000.. .$190.00
