GILL’S RELIABLE 
DAHLIAS 
Dahlia orders will be filled during the latter part of March and through April and May, but may 
be sent any time for booking, and will be filled in the rotation received. No dahlia orders will be filled 
after June 1, except collections, which will be sent up to June 15. All Dahlia prices postpaid. The rate 
for a dozen of one kind is 10 times the single rate. Six of one kind at the dozen rate. 
We publish a bulletin telling how to care for dahlias. This is sent free to all if requested and a 
copy is included with each order of bulbs. See dahlia collections on inside of back cover. 
When you receive your dahlia tubers open them very carefully so that the eyes on the Se 
will not be injured. Keep them in a cool place, away from frost, until ready to plant. The dahlia 
tubers we offer are mostly grown in Oregon. 
Informal Decorative Dahlias 
This type lacks the uniformity of the formal 
decoratives and the petals are more expanded. 
Many have longer petals and they are often more 
loosely arranged than the formal type. The plants 
frow vigorously and have very large flowers, 
usually on long, erect stems. In some varieties the 
petals are somewhat twisted.
