DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden flow- 
ers. Its flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists’ work and exhibi- 
tion. 
CULTURE. An open, sunny location seems to favor 
them at all times. Dahlias can be planted any time after 
danger of frost is over, but do not plant too early. The 
Dahlia is a fall flower and if planted too early will com- 
mence to bloom in the hottest weather, and either blast 
in the bud or produce one-sided flowers. 
Plant tuber 6 inches deep, on its side, having sprout 
or eye facing upwards; cover with about two inches of 
soil. When sprouts are 6 inches high add more soil, 
making it level with surface. Cultivation is the princi- 
pal requirement of the Dahlia—the most important of 
all operations to insure success.

PEONIES 
The Peony is a native of Siberia which undoubtedly 
accounts for its great vigor and hardiness. The ideal 
flower for the great Northwest since it endures the most 
intense cold without injury. The Peony is one of the 
most easily grown, and showiest of the perennial flower- 
ing plants. 
Conditions of the soil, location and cultivation are 
important factors in growing Peonies. Peonies may be 
planted in the spring during the month of April and the 
early part of May, or in September. Work the soil thor- 
oughly to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, applying at the 
same time a generous amount of Vigoro or bone meal 
fertilizer, mixed well into the soil. Plant root in this 
prepared soil so that the crown will be about 1 inch 
below the surface. Press the soil firmly around the roots. 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 8 feet 
apart and should not be close to trees as the roots of 
the trees take from the soil the nourishing elements that 
ae preeded by the Peonies. Peonies do best in a sunny 
ocation. 
The following selected vwarieties we offer for spring 
delivery at very attractive prices, postpaid. Large 3 to 
5 eye divisions. We also have Peony roots during Sep- 
tember and October.
