1985 introductions. It is a splendid grower and 
the giant yellow blooms which often measure

stiff stems. The Dahlia has many show hon-

No. 2681 Un-named Varieties 
10 for $1.00 Postpaid 
- Every year we grow in our Test or Trial Fields hundreds of 
different varieties of Dahlias. In the fall when these tubers are 
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, we offer these at bargain prices.
