GENERAL LIST OF DAHLIAS 

DAHLIA MAYOR FRANK OTIS 
—_—_—__—__---_——————— —— 
This year we find it quite difficult to esti- 
mate our crop of bulbs, and, in addition 
to this, many growers have reduced their 
plantings from 50 to 75 per cent, and as 
a result many varieties will be sold out 
long before planting time. We suggest that 
you send your orders in early and note 
several acceptable substitutes.

and splendid growing habits, Clara 
Carder is extremely beautiful as a cut
