California Flowerland DAHLIAS 
Decorative Dahlia, NOPAL—35c 


Few flowers return so much for the amount of money and 
time expended as the Dahlias. They are easy to grow, prolific 
bloomers, and offer infinite variety of color and form. 
Whether you grow Dahlias for garden decoration, exhibi- 
tion, or cut flowers in the home, or as a hobby, you will find 
many intriguing varieties in our list. 
It is important that you plant only select tubers in order to 
produce vigorous growing plants and perfect blossoms. Com- 
mercial growers recognize this fact and are extremely careful 
in the selection of the tubers they plant, and each year discard 
many tubers which, although they would grow, would not 
give the best results. These discarded tubers are sometimes 
offered to amateur growers at very low prices,—it is there- 
fore important that you know the tubers you plant are relia- 
ble. Paul J. Howard’s tubers are from selected stock, strong, 
clean, and free from disease. Planting them insures you 
against much possible disappointment.
