OUTSTANDING DAHLIAS 
The following dahlias were outstanding at our gar- 
dens during the blooming season of 1942, some for their 
abundance of wonderful blooms, some for the flowers pro- 
duced for bouquets and all for strong healthy plant growth 
and vitality. Some are recent introductions, others are 
old but unsurpassed for their fine qualities.
