INSECT AND DISEASE CONTROL 
Healthy Dahlias require very little spray. However, they are subject 
to the ravages of borers, aphis and various chewing insects. Sprays con- 
taining DDT provide perfect long range protection, and when in com- 
bination with aphis controls are even more effective. We, therefore, 
recommend the use of Lucky Strike with DDT or Protexall. These can 
be found listed in our insecticide section.

DAHLIAS 
for Cutting 
We cannot help emphasizing 
the importance of Dahlias as a cut 
flower. While we appreciate the 
impressiveness of the huge exhibi- 
tion varieties; we feel that the 
home gardener with limited space 
can best utilize the space by con- 
centrating on small and medium 
sized Dahlias for cutting. 
While we list one of the world’s 
finest selections of exhibition Dah- 
lias, we take greater pride in 
the small and medium flowered 
classes. If your conception of Dah- 
lias are huge eye-filling blooms 
that look beautiful on the exhibi- 
tion table, try some of these cut 
flower varieties for complete sat- 
isfaction. 
BETSY L. Provides a profusion of gorgeous 
pink flowers producing very early in the 
season and continuing until killing frost. 
Price: $3.50 per tuber. 
MARIE. A formal decorative, medium sized 
Dahlia of clearest pale salmon-pink. A 
complete self-color with no other shad- 
ings whatever. The ideal pink. The

abundance of bloom. Reasonably priced 
at $1.00 per tuber; $11.00 per dozen.
