DAHLIAS FOR YOU TO GROW 
A number of our customers tried out our seedlings 
last season and from reports we are naming and list¬ 
ing 42X as Red Spider This name was suggested by 
a number of those who grew it. in fact the first three 
names sent in were all Red Spider. We are using the 
name of Tarzan for 110. These dahlias are yours for 
the asking, a plant on each $5.00 order or a root on a 
$10.00 order as a gift, in addition to our free root 
offer. Our new seedling 74 will be loaned to you to 
grow on a $10.00 order and you will be relieved of any 
responsibility of loss. 
A dahlia is undisseminated as long as it is not sold 
or given away and the title of ownership remains with 
one person. According to Seedling classes in most 
dahlia shows, this dahlia can be shown in the Undis¬ 
seminated or Seedling Classes by the one growing it. 
To anyone who suggests a name that is accepted for 
this seedling the stock of this variety which they have 
tried will become their property with our compliments. 
74 SEEDLING, FD, Bloom 10 x 4, Bush 51 / 2 ft. 
A seedling we have been growing for a few years 
that has size, wonderful stems and good color and 
form. Centers are always full. However, it does 
not bloom in time for the early shows and would 
not be good where seasons are short. Color, soft 
apricot buff suffused coral red which is most at¬ 
tractive. One you will enjoy growing. 
RED SPIDER (Seedling 42X),IC, Bloom 9x5, 
Bush 5 ft. We believe this dahlia will prove sat¬ 
isfactory for those who like the English Cactus. It 
is a strong grower, branches nicely and blooms pro¬ 
fusely. In comparison with a number of our finely 
quilled English Cactus this dahlia has a fairly good 
stem, some blooms facing while a very few tip 
some. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.00 or a plant on 
each $5.00 order or a root on a $10.00 order in 
addition to our free root offer as explained above. 
TARZAN (Seedling 110), ID, Bloom 9x7, Bush 
5 ft. One of the prettiest formed and darkest red 
dahlias we have grown as a seedling. Color is 
very deep velvety carmine with almost black shad¬ 
ings. Its only fault is that it is inclined to be a 
little late and should be planted and pruned ac¬ 
cordingly. Does best in ordinary culture. Will 
not take force feeding. Roots, $3.00; Plants, $1.00 
or a plant on each $5.00 order or a root on a 
$10.00 order in addition to our free offer as ex¬ 
plained above.
