NEW DWARF DAHLIAS FOR 
THE GARDEN 
This new race of Dahlias has created quite a sensation. They are 
wonderfully apt subjects for garden planting, forming dwarf, compact 
plants which bloom throughout the summer until frost. The flowers 
are seldom over 4 inches in diameter and are produced in great pro- 
fusion. We offer green plants of these, ready in May, from 3-inch pots. 
These will make good plants for garden use.

carmine toward the tips of the petals. The flowers are of good

dwarf varieties but a rich scarlet in color with bright green 
fern-like foliage which is very effective in mass plantings.
