New Dwarf Dahlias 
For the Garden and for Forcing 
This new race of Dwarf Dahlias has created quite a sensation. They 
are wonderful subjects for garden planting, forming dwarf, compact 
plants which bloom throughout the summer until frost. The flowers, 
which are produced in great profusion, are seldom over 4 inches in 
diameter. They have proved themselves very useful as subjects for forc¬ 
ing, to bloom for spring sales. Divisions potted in January and grown 
cool can easily be brought in for Mother’s Day in fine shape. 
We offer green plants of these, ready in May from 3-inch pots.
