I. D. (Calkins-Salbach—A me¬ 
dium sized dahlia. Color, pure 
white. An excellent cut flower 
variety, and fine grower with 
insect resisting foliage. A Cer¬ 
tificate Winner at Storr’s Trial 
Ground. Never before such a 
lovely dahlia has been bought 
for less than ten dollars per 
root. Stock hasn’t been propa¬ 
gated, but the originator has 
been growing this variety for a 
number of years, so that there 
is enough root stock on hand to 
supply any demand, and that is 
the reason for such a low price. 
On Mr. Barron’s Honor Roll. 
Roots $1.00
