NEW DWARF DAHLIAS 
For Pot Culture and Landscape Planting 
The wonderful new race of Dahlias primarily introduced for greenhouse 
blooming in pots, not only serve well in this respect, but are also unusually 
useful for planting in borders in the garden. 
In the greenhouse or conservatory they can be forced into bloom for 
Easter and the months following. When they have served for this purpose 
they may be transplanted to the garden and will there continue to bloom 
until frost, after which, following a short rest, they may again be potted 
for indoor blooming. 
The habit of the plant is compact and dwarf, producing flowers when 
they are a little over a foot in height after forming only a very few leaves.

is practically hidden by the brilliant orange-crimson flowers.

MINIATURE DAHLIAS

types. They are unexcelled for planting in the border because of their

ding, if any. Their value as cut flowers assures them a place in every 
garden.
