16 KUNZMAN'S, Dahlias, New Albany, Indiana 
ee 
We never exhibit, in competition or otherwise; we never practice 
"“high-culture'' at any time; we depend on the testimonials and recom- 
mendations (always unsolicited) of our many pleased customers, to 
spread the news, and they do it. 
lf you can give your catalog to an interested friend, send us (on a 
post-card) the friend's name and address; we will gratefully thank you 
and send you another copy.

“FROST TONIGHT" 
Apple-green west and an orange bar, 
And the crystal eye of a lone, one star... 
And, ‘'Child, take the shears and cut what you will, 
Frost tonight—so clear and dead-still."' 
Then, | sally forth, half sad, half proud, 
And | come to the velvet, imperial crowd, 
The wine-red, the gold, the crimson, the pied, 
The dahlias that reign by the garden-side. 
The dahlias | might not touch till tonight! 
A gleam of the shears in the fading light, 
And | gathered them all—the splendid throng, 
And in one great sheaf | bore them along. 
In my garden of Life with its all-late flowers, 
| heed a Voice in the shrinking hours: 
"Frost tonight—so clear and dead-still''... 
Half sad, half proud, my arms | fill. 
—Edith M. Thomas.
