AMERICA’S MOST 
POPULAR DAHLIAS 
Dahlias are the largest and most beauti- 
fully colored of all the late summer and 
fall flowers. Easy to grow, we send 
simple planting instructions with every 
order. For exhibition, nip off the side 
branches allowing only a few main 
stems to grow. For lots of flowers, nip 
the ends of the main shoots when only 
a foot or so tall, making them branch. 
A young, medium-size bulb will do much 
better than a large, sappy, over-grown, 
old bulb. ALL DAHLIAS ARE POST-

its large, clear yellow blooms are produced
