Dahlia 
Popular Varieties Fanciers Will Enjoy 
All the Dahlias offered in this catalog will be supplied as dormant, field-grown roots, and should 
be planted in May. The Dahlias of today far surpass what were considered even the best exhibi¬ 
tion Dahlias of a few years ago. Our offerings of Dahlias are only those varieties which we have 
found to be entirely satisfactory to planters in general. There are hundreds of worthless varieties 
with which the amateur is not familiar, and would consequently have more difficulty in choosing 
properly if they were included among the listings. Note our prices as compared with other lists
