Giant Flowering Dahlias 
This stock is field grown, not mushy from over-feeding. It has been 
acclimated by growing for many seasons in the rugged climate and soil of 
the Ohio Valley and is full of vitality. They are tubers that will give you 
strong plants and beautiful flowers and should do well in all parts of the 
country. 
You will find listed here only those varieties that have done well here 
for a period of several years and have proven themselves to be good healthy 
growers and consistently heavy flower producers,
