DOME and miniatures. Some folks 
don't like dahlias, I have a 
friend who for years raised nothing 
but the large flowering type. In 
the last two years he has fallen 
for my little friends the pom=poms 
and even some singles, 
sore folks say that the big 
ones arc all right an the garden 
mut that is all. I've seen some 
beautiful bouquets of large flower~ 
ing dahlias used oe decorations 
or aS weddings. hy, just. a single 
flower of iurphy's lasterpieee or 
any of the peally large ones, in a 
Sshalléw dish makes a beautiful 
center-picae for table decerations. 
Then of course our smsller dsehlias 
make delightful decorations. Just 
three or fear in-a vase here and 
theré in the room adds to its 
attractiveness. 
I have one customer who fuys 
buibs from me each year in large 
quantiticé, He said last year, 
"Well, ore, Taibot, I guess your 
gladiolus were in overy hospital 
in Boston." This eustomer mins 2 
spand. You will find the 
the varsom s daniias or gsladiolus 
raised by you end shared by your 
friends will pay dividends in 
friendships. Thore is something 
very personal about a bouquet from 
your own gardens 
You ucy be sure that the 
varieties you buy from me I raise 
myself. They are my flower friends 
and unless they prove worthy, they 
ere A@letarded from my list, I 
hope as you read my dahlia list, 
you will find the scleotion intri- 
miing and the price consistent with 
quality.
