ESTATES COLLECTIONS. We make up collections for large estates, in any quantity,

These are made up to fit individual tastes and needs. Prices are a matter of cor- 
respondence. In writing for prices be sure to state the size and shape of plot or 
plots, their relation to other plantings, the general landscape effect desired, and 
any information that will aid us in making a selection exactly to your needs. List of 
varieties and quantity of each will be supplied by us with our quotations.

Ottawa, Ontario, and send us the number of your permit with order. We must have

CLUMPS 
Owing to greatiy reduced plantings of dahlias last spring and the season-long 
drought, which reduced our root crop below expectations, we were unable to quote prices 
on clumps the past fall. We hope to be able to resume our clump quotations next 
fall. Write for prices, stating varieties in which you are interested, as we do not expect 
to issue a general clump list until after the war.
