DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden flow- 
CLS MEeLES flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists and exhibition. 
CULTURE. Afi open, sunny location seems to favor 
them at all times. Dahlias can be planted any time after 
danger of frost is over, but do not plant too early. The 
Dahlia is a fall flower and if planted too early will com- 
mence to bloom in the hottest weather, and either blast 
in the bud or produce one-sided flowers. 
Plant tuber 6 inches deep on its side, having sprout 
or eye facing upwards; cover with about two inches of 
soil. | When sprouts are 6 inches high add more soil, 
making it level with surface, Cultivation is the prin- 
cipal requirement of the Dahlia—the most important of 
all operations to insure success.

PEONIES 
The Peony endures the most intense cold without in- 
jury, easily grown, and showiest of the perennial flower- 
ing plants. 
Peonies may be planted in the spring during the month 
of April and the early part of May, or in September. 
Work the soil thoroughly to a depth of 8 or 10 inches, 
applying at the same time a generous amount of Vigoro 
or bone meal fertilizer, mixed well into the soil. Plant 
root in this prepared soil so that the crown will be about 
1 inch below the surface. Press the soil firmly around 
the roots. 
Peonies should not be planted any closer than 3 feet 
apart and should not be close to trees. Peonies do best 
in a sunny location, 
The following selected varieties we offer for spring 
delivery at very attractive prices, postpaid. Large 3 to 
5 eye divisions. We also have Peony roots during Sep- 
tember and October.
