Shumway^s Greatest Dahlia Bargain

Every year we grow in our Test or Trial Fields hundreds of

dug we do not try to keep them separate as to color, type or 
variety, but we put them into what we call Mixed Varieties. 
Surely this is one wonderful assortment, containing many new 
and distinct varieties. Many of the single tubers are worth 
twice the price we ask for a dozen. Knowing you will appreci¬ 
ate this wonderful bargain, and that it will create thousands of 
new dahlia growers, w'e offer these at bargain prices.
