While Dahlias have long been garden favorites il is only wilhin the pasl few years that 
they have moved into a position of prominence among our most important seasonal cut- 
flowers. This past season saw them recognized as never before and several times they com¬ 
pletely dominated several of our big wholesale markets and attained prices that were never 
heard of before and which made many Chrysanthemum growers sit up and take notice. 
Dahlias are now definitely established as among our great outdoor bulbous cut-flower crops. 
The big contributing factor to this new popularity is undoubtedly the fine list of new 
varieties that has been introduced in recent years but their distribution out of the hands of 
a few specialists into many thousands of commercial cut-flower growers all over the country 
has also aided materially. 
Several years ago we undertook the marketing of a select list of established commer¬ 
cial kinds and our large volume enabled 
us to sell them at lower prices than which 
they had been generally offered. By 
rigidly adhering to our policy of limiting 
the list to those kinds which had actually 
established themselves in the big mar¬ 
kets our sales developed rapidly. This 
year we have added more varieties and 
recent introductions from abroad and 
they all possess the same exacting 
qualities.
