La 
wgé- Howered Dahlias 
Dahlia lovers may with entire safety select at random the varieties offered by us or according to colors 
or forms they favor, as all are absolutely dependable, produced on stiff, straight stems that hold the 
flowers upright. It is our belief that a Dahlia, to deserve consideration, should above all have an up- 
right, straight, strong stem so that the flowers face one squarely in the garden and stand up when used 
as cut flowers. 
In the following collection you will find only the choicest varieties that have proven to be of superior 
merit over a number of years, healthy growers and strong producers are essential requisites. With con- 
fidence we offer the following list:
