Di. tinctive New Introductions i Dahlin 
There is no question but that Dahlias are the showiest and most impressive of all 
cut flowers. Dahlia fanciers and growers are among the most loyal gardeners to their 
particular favorite and justifiably so. One of the most interesting features of Dahlia 
growing is the fact that each year sees the introduction of more new and interesting 
varieties. 
We have made a special effort to assist in the introduction of outstanding Dahlias. 
We have aided in introducing such favorites as Lynn Fontanne, Dorothy Smith, Ogden 
Reid, Hilda Fioretti, just to mention a few. 
Our trials last year have proven to us that the variety Ogden Reid is one of the 
strongest growing large-flowered Dahlias ever introduced.
