Marshall’s Matchless Dahlias 
Our list of Dahlias has been reduced to those that we consider represent the finest varieties. Older varieties, which 
have been superseded by later introductions of similar color, have been dropped, and it will be noticed that many of 
the expensive varieties of previous years are now available at attractive prices.
