DAHLIAS 
No. 1 Tubers—Postpaid 

We have selected 12 leading varieties from several shows and 
are offering them at a low price to our customers. 
G. W. ALVORD. A beautiful dark red tipped with white. Very 
free bloomer. A favorite with all flower lovers, Root, 80c each. 
GLORIA BACKER, F. D. (Tudor). A clear dahlia, purple, of fair 
size and excellent formation for exhibition. We regard it as 
the most satisfactory of our several formal purples. The bush 
growth is very outstanding in its ruggedness; attracting much 
comment from visitors even before it comes into bloom. Early 
and prolific. Root, $1.25. 
BLUE RIVER, F. D. “Salem” Dahlia Gardens—Bloom 11%x5, 
bush 4 feet. A blue French violet, the nearest to a blue dahlia 
that we have ever seen. It never fails to:grow. It has won 
many prizes. It was best formal in Section B at the recent 
New York Show. Very early, long stems. Root, 80c. 
JANE COWL. A strikingly beautiful Dahlia representing a blend 
of bronze, buff and brilliant gold. Root, 30c each. 
A. G. GOODACRE (Dixie-Goodacre) F. D. 1940. A beautiful com- 
bination of lemon yellow, evenly tipped white. This dahlia 
won two (2) firsts in the undisseminated class, also a certifi- 
cate of merit at East Lansing. This dahlia is an early bloomer 
on the best of stems. Foliage is insect resisting and a strong 
grower. On the Honor Roll. Root, 90c. 
THE GOVERNOR F. D. (Dahliadel). A large, bright, sulphur 
yellow, which is definitely a formal. True formals are scarce 
and this is a welcome addition. The petals are broad and turn 
back at the tips, giving the flower good depth. One of the lead- 
ing winners in its class the past season. Root, $1.35 each. 
MAD. C. JUSSIANT, I. C. A lavender cactus with plenty of buds 
and flowers from mid-season till frost. $1.00 each. 
LADY IN RED, S. C. Bright velvety red. Medium size. Free flow- 
ering. $1.10 each. 
MICHIGAN WHITE, S. C. (Keiser). One of the very best of the : 
white cut-flower dahlias. The well formed flowers seem to Pink Giant 
“pop” out over night on long strong stems. Substance of the 
flower is excellent, the flower keeping well when cut. Blooms 
are of medium size. Each 85c. 
PINK GIANT. Large flowers of bright, clear, rose-pink. A great 
favorite with garden visitors and a fine show flower. It is a 
border line variety as to type; being a true semi-cactus under 4 E
