dahlia this variety does considerable winning and has

green, insect-resistant foliage. This dahlia produces 
great quantities of perfect blooms from mid-August

VISITORS ALWAYS WELCOME 
AT DAHLIADEL 
During September and October over forty acres of 
dahlias in full bloom is a sight to behold and long 
remembered. We are always glad to have our 
friends stop in and enjoy the riot of color, or if you 
come before the fields are in full bloom a trip 
through the storage cellars and greenhouses, espec' 
ially the air conditioned propagating house, is in' 
structive and interesting. If you are coming from 
a distance next fall, let us send you suggested auto 
routes to Dahliadel. 
Dahliadel Field Days afford us the opportunity of 
meeting hundreds of interested dahlia fans and re' 
new the friendship of our customers. We appre' 
ciate your interest in our fields and display and will 
have an even better selection this fall. If you can' 
not visit us here we shall be glad to meet you at any 
of the Fall Flower Shows where we exhibit or judge.
