Easter Greeting 
DAHLIADEL SNOW WHITE (see page 4) 
will make a suitable background for 
SEVEN OF THE DWARF DAHLIAS 
A wonderful new race of dahlias that are particu¬ 
larly adapted for landscape planting for beds or 
borders that attracted much attention in our Trial 
Grounds this season. They start blooming early in 
the summer when only about one foot high and 
bloom continuously until frost, developing to about 
two feet in height, except where heights are noted. 
At the end of the list will be found varieties that 
we recommend for landscape plantings from differ¬ 
ent types that are dwarf and yet produce a mass of 
color early. 
Elsie 
URSULA, FD, Bloom 5x2. Dark Oxblood red. 
For those who do not like bright reds this variety 
will contrast better with the lighter shades. 
EASTER GREETING, S-C, Bloom 4x1^. This 
is the original variety of this type and may be 
grown in pots as a blooming plant or used as a cut 
flower. White with a creamy cast. 
Plants of above Dwarf varieties each.50

(Plants) $3.00 
ELSIE, S-C, Bloom A/ 2 x 2 / 2 . One of the best. 
Color, soft peach red shading to lemon yellow at 
center. Blooms are of fine form. 
GERTRUDE (Dwarf) FD, Bloom 4 x 1 / 2f Bush 
1 / 2 ft. The best clear primrose yellow in this 
Dwarf class. A very good variety with uniform 
blooms. 
KATE, FD, Bloom 4x2, Bush 1 / 2 ft. A small 
bright cardinal red very showy in bed planting. 
Blooms are very attractive, uniform, and good for 
cutting. 
MARIA, S-C, Bloom 4x2, Bush 1 / 2 ft. Consider¬ 
ed an improvement over Easter Greeting with bet¬ 
ter centers and not as tall a grower, but the stems 
are not as long as Easter Greeting should you desire 
cut flowers. 
ROSALIE (Dwarf), S-C, Bloom 4x2. Color, bright 
violet rose shaded lighter at center and tips. A 
very good grower and a desirable variety. 
FRED SPRINGER, FD, Bloom 6x3, Bush 2/ 2 ft. 
A larger bloom than the other Dwarf varieties but 
a rich scarlet in color with bright green fern-like 
foliage which is very effective in mass plantings. .50
