DAHLIAS 
We grow at Wilshire Gardens a large number of the smaller 
types of Dahlias as well as some of the large flowered ones. 
The smaller types are especially good as cut flowers and for 
bedding. Described in our list are Pompons, the very small 
ball type; Miniatures, similar to the larger flowering but 
measuring 3 to 4 inches across; Cactus, Colarettes, Mignon 
and Dwart-bedding types. All of the smaller types are cov- 
ered with bloom and make a showy plant in the garden. 
PLEASE NOTE—Because DAHLIA TUBERS must be mailed 
later than most other bulbs we cannot accept orders for less 
than one dollar’s worth of tubers. Packing and shipping ex- 
pense will not allow the mailing of separate orders smaller 
than the above amount.
