Early Flowering Dahlias 
In the Miniature Class we have imported from 
Holland an entire family of early flowering 
dahlias. In Europe they have been potted and 
shown in bloom at the Spring flower shows. They 
are free blooming and especially adapted for 
planting as a low hedge. In our garden they 
began blooming about two weeks ahead of other 
varieties. 
Eleanor—A low plant with the foliage practically hidden 
by the brilliant orange crimson formal flowers. SOLD 
Fred Springer—A wonderful bedding variety. The plant 
makes a whorl of fern like Jeaves surmounted by a 
mass of briiliant red formal flowers.

on vigorous plants.
