BRAINARD’S SELECT DAHLIAS

golden autumn shade Dahlias. Large flowers on 
strong stems; vigorous grower. 35c each.

and tipped a beautiful dark red. Very tall grower; 
large flowers on good stems. 75c each.

built flowers of deep orange, with base of petals 
scarlet red. Strong, healthy grower. 35c each.

formal type of a deep canary yellow; very large 
flowers always full to the center, and borne on 
long, erect stems. Plant of robust habit; profuse 
bloomer. 25c each.
