DAHLIAS 
From hundreds of varieties of Dahlias, we have chosen for our list the outstanding 
sorts from world-wide sources. Included are many beautiful novelties of special merit and 
standard varieties that have proven best. 
Few flowers return so much for the amount of money and time expended as Dahlias. They are 
easy to grow, prolific bloomers, and offer infinite variety of.color and form. 
Whether you grow Dahlias for garden decoration, exhibition or cut flowers in the home, or as a 
hobby, you will find many intriguing varieties in our list. 
It is important that you plant only select tubers, in order to produce vigorous growing plants 
and perfect blossoms. Commercial growers recognize this fact and are extremely careful in the 
selection of the tubers they plant. Each year they discard many tubers which, although they 
would grow, would not give the best results. These discarded tubers are sometimes offered to 
amateur growers at very low prices,—it is therefore important that you know the tubers you 
plant are reliable. Paul J. Howard’s tubers are from selected stock, strong, clean, and free from 
disease. Planting them insures you against much possible disappointment.
