Dahlia Roots, only, are listed for sale in 
this catalog. This underground repro- 
ductive growth of the dahlia is quite 
often referred to by the public as bulbs, 
or tubers; however, they are actually 
roots, the term used almost universally 
in the trade. Any reference made to 
salable dahlia stock in this catalog means 
a division of the root system of the dahlia 
plant. Please refer to Cultural Directions, 
page 4, for more detailed information. 
See page 10 for selected list of Gladiolus.
