EMPHASIS 
ON 
CUT FLOWER 
VARIETIES 
We have noted a 
definite trend toward 
Dahlias of medium 
size and great sub- 
stance for use as cut 
flowers for the home. 
Dahlia fanciers prefer 
the large exhibition 
types. The average 
home gardener has 
shown a marked pref- 
erence for medium 
size flowers that will 
lend themselves to cut 
flower arrangements. 
We are featuring, 
therefore, new varie- 
ties of outstanding 
merit as cut flowers.
