DAHLIAS 
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. 
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.
