ALLING’S 
BALL DAHLIAS 
Here are the old style pin cushion or ball shaped Dahlias 
of our grandmother’s time. They have taken on increased 
size and usefulness. You just can’t win sweepstake prizes 
at the shows nowadays without them.

MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
The popularity of the smaller types of Dahlias is most 
rapidly increasing. More people are learning their useful¬ 
ness for beds and borders, and their size particularly adapts 
them for table and other indoor decorations. Their free¬ 
dom of bloom insures an abundant supply of flowers from 
early to late. 
AMI BARILLET Miniature single. Purple foliage with 
blooms of pure garnet. Roots $ .50 
BABY FRANCIS We are proud to introduce this pink 
Miniature which was produced in our own garden. Long 
upright stems; blooms about 2 x /z to 3 inches and are pro¬ 
duced in such abundance as to almost hide the bush. 
The color is amaranth with perhaps a suggestion of deep 
orchid. The demands for it have far exceeded our great¬ 
est expectations and we are now far sold out of roots for 
1939. We will have only a limited number of plants. 
Plants $1.00
