Value of Stems. A Dahlia may be beautiful, but if hidden down among the leaves it 
lacks a valuable merit. The best Dahlias are borne freely on long graceful stems that 
display the beauty of the flowers and make them far more attractive. We have held this 
point in mind and offer to you only the best in plant, stem and flower. 
Stemborers often give trouble. Their presence is evidenced early by shortening of 
the internodes and later by wilting of the plants. If noticed early, cut the plant off near 
the ground and take the borer out with your knife. Close the wound with wax. If late in 
season and you do not wish to cut plant back, insert pyrethrum-soap solution, ozs. to 
1 gallon water, with ear syringe. Slit stalk at the bottom to drain and prevent rotting. 
Park's Seed Co., Greenwood, S. C. Dear Sirs : The Thomas A. Edison dahlia I secured from you 
in the Spring is certainly a beauty, with wonderful shape, and color of royal purple. I think it is ex¬ 
quisite, and it is admired by, all who see it. Various flower lovers have askea me where I secured it. 
I cut a bloom a few days ago which measured over nine inches across, and it has fine stems, very erect. 
Aug. 30, 1937. (Dr.) J. M. Glenn, Houston County, Alabama.
