Jersey’s 
Beauty 
When I say that this is the finest collection of Decorative 
Dahlias I have ever offered, it is putting it mildly. I believe 
it is one of the best collections that will be offered this season 
by any one at any price. I spent a good deal of time this past 
season, when Dahlias were in bloom, making careful com- 
arisons in order that I might include in this collection the 
est of each color and type, and here is my selection as ‘““The 
World’s Best”’ Decorative Dahlias for 1943. You’ll be amazed 
at the superlative beauty and great size of each variety, and 
you are sure to carry off the prizes in your local shows with 
this choice collection.

old rose. One of the finest and most distinctive of the newer 
introductions. 50c.
