RIDGEMORE MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
RIDGEMORE, THE TRADE NAME FOR OUR NEW GROUP OF MINIATURE 
DAHLIAS, IS DERIVED FROM THE LAST SYLLABLES OF WHEATRIDGE (A 
SUBURB OF DENVER, AND LOCATION OF OUR NURSERY) AND WILMORE. 
A FEW YEARS AGO, AND BY MERE CHANCE, WE DISCOVERED A VERY 
OUTSTANDING MINIATURE VARIETY, THE SEED FROM WHICH PRODUCED 
MANY OUTSTANDING SEEDLINGS, AND FAR SUPERIOR TO ANYTHING 
HERETOFORE TRIED. FROM THIS PROPAGATION WE LIST BELOW SEV- 
ERAL ESPECIALLY FINE VARIETIES, COVERING A WIDE RANGE OF COLOR, 
WHICH ARE THE BEST OF THE MINIATURES WE HAVE INTRODUCED TO 
DATE. MORE WILL BE ADDED FROM TIME TO TIME TO THIS HONOR ROLL 
AS THEY PROVE THEIR WORTH. AVERAGH BLOOMS IN THIS GROUP ARE 
FROM TWO AND ONE-HALF TO THREE INCHES, AND ALL ARE ESPECIALLY 
GOOD CUT FLOWER VARIETIES, BY REASON OF FLOWER FORMATION, 
FREEDOM OF BLOOM, LENGTH OF STEM, ATTRACTIVE COLORS, AND KEEP- 
ING QUALITIES. ALL THESE FINE VARIETIES ARE HIGHLY RECOM- 
MENDED. 
ALL ARE PRICED AT 75c EACH. SET OF SIX POSTPAID FOR $4.00 
(These are all of the decorative type.)
