Dahlia Bulbs 
SIMPSON'S SUPERB SELECTION 
OF 50 OUTSTANDING DAHLIAS FOR 1939 ' 
All offered at the lowest prices we have ever been able to quote. This is made 
possible by having contracted for very large quantities at planting time last spring. 
Complete cultural directions fumlsihed with every dahlia order. Each root sep¬ 
arately wrapped to prevent damage to the “eyes” and individually labeled. Prices 
are i>ostpaid. 
Bulbs should be laid flat when planting, with “eye” up. Cover about 6 inches and 
space bulbs 2^/4 to 3 feet apart. See that the soil is well pulverized and feed occa¬ 
sionally with VIGORO or BONE MEAL.
