BUTTON DAHLIAS 
These Button (Pompon) dahlias 
have small flowers, 2 to 3 inches 
across, perfect in form. Produced 
continuously for many weeks. 
Beautiful in the garden, fine for 
cutting. You will like the rich, 
glowing colors. The bulbs are 
smaller than the larger flowered 
varieties but it is astonishing how 
freely they bloom.

of them. If you want beautiful 
flowers and do not care to know 
the names (many will recognize 
choice varieties) this is our great- 
est dahlia offer.

AMERICA’S MOST 
POPULAR DAHLIAS 
Dahlias are the largest and most beau- 
tifully 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. There is 
only about a half crop of Dahlias this 
season. Even though Dahlias are 
planted late, we suggest that you order 
them early. They will keep perfectly 
in a moderately cool place, until plant- 
ing time. ALL DAHLIAS ARE POST- 
PAID.
