To obtain better roots from plants, use a handful of bonemeal at plant- 
ing time, and another application on top of soil sometime in July. A 
good mulch of straw or leaves is also highly beneficial. We speak from 
sixteen years of experience in the growing of Dahlias. 
NO BUSINESS TRANSACTIONS ON SUNDAY—PLEASE! 
Our root prices are the lowest ever. We expect to close out all roots 
early in the season in order to give plenty of time for spring plant busi- 
ness and planting, so get your root order in early.
