DAHLIAS 
The Dahlia is one of the most popular of garden flow- 
ers, Its flowers may be used for garden decorations, 
house decorations, bouquets, florists and exhibition. 
CULTURE. An 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 
OASES facing upwards; cover with about two inches of 
soil.

PEONIES Whites 
Each 
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, but we recommend 
planting in September. Work the soil thoroughly to a 
depth of 8 or 10 inches, applying at the same time a gen- 
erous 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 8 feet 
apart and should not be close to trees. Peonies do best 
in a sunny location. 
The following selected warieties we offer for spring - 
Large 3 to 5 eye divisions. 
or September delivery.
