Dahlia Plants 
are sprouts or cuttings taken from stock of named var¬ 
ieties, started early in the greenhouse, rooted in sand 
benches, potted and grown inside until established, then 
moved to cold frames for hardening off, ready for ship¬ 
ping and field planting. 
If you do not grow your Dahlias from green plants, we 
suggest that you give them a trial, for, when properly 
grown from healthy stock and given the care that any 
plant requires, they will give you better blooms and will 
make a nice clump of roots for future plantings. How¬ 
ever, they must be cultivated and watered, and, if insects 
bother, sprayed with an insecticide. 
Dahlia Green Plants are ready for shipment after May 15, 
and will bloom about the same time as roots, that have 
been planted three weeks earlier. The price of plants is 
one-half or less than the price of roots of the same var¬ 
iety. We recommend their use very highly, especially for 
our local conditions. 
Dahlia Collections 
We are offering this season special collections made 
up of one tuber each of my most popular varieties. This 
gives an opportunity of securing a choice collection at a 
greatly reduced cost. These collections are carefully bal¬ 
anced as to color, and are made up of large Dahlias only. 
There are twelve guaranteed tubers in each collection, all 
labeled. We prepay all postage.—$3.00 to $10.00.
