DAHLIAbEL NURSERIES 
DWARF DAHLIAS 
A wonderful new race of dahlias that are particii- 
lariy adapted for landscape planting for beds or 
boiders that attracted much attention in our Trial 
Grounds this season. They start blooming early m 
the summer when only about one foot high and 
bloom continuously until frost, developing to about 
two feet m height, except where heights are noted. 
hese dwarf dahlias are very useful for forcing in pots 
indoors.

COLLECTION L One each of the above 8 Dwarf 
Dahlias $3.00 
The following list includes both large and small 
varieties that we recommend for landscape plantings. 
Bushes are dwarf yet produce a mass of color early 
and bloom over a long period. Suitable for borders 
and special groups in the garden. Especially useful 
as specimen plants with evergreens or other material 
as a background. 
At the “Gardens on Parade” at the World’s Fair 
some very striking effects were secured using these 
dwarf dahlias in the manner above described. These 
varieties may be used for cut flowers also. 
Up to date gardeners are always seeking new and 
striking effects. This is as it should be, and is an 
evidence of progress. The use of the smaller grow¬ 
ing dahlias for landscape plantings is in its infancy, 
but from results so far attained their possibilities 
are legion. Be among the pioneers to use these free 
blooming dahlias in this novel manner.
