22 W. W. WILMORE, DAHLIA SPECIALIST 
This type of Dahlia is gaining in popularity every year. All varieties herein listed are 
excellent for cutting purposes, and in great demand by florists, on account of their 
keeping qualities, Except as noted, blooms will measure from 2% to 3 inches across when 
flowers are fully developed. 
RIDGEMORE MINIATURE DAHLIAS 
RIDGEMORE, the trade name for our new group of miniature dahlias, is derived 
from the last syllables of Wheatridge (a suburb of Denver, and location of our nursery) 
and Wilmore. 
A few years ago, and by mere chance, we discovered a very outstanding miniature 
variety, the seed from which produced many outstanding seedlings, and far superior to 
anything heretofore tried. From this propagation we list below several especially fine 
varieties, covering a wide range of color, which are the best of the miniatures we have 
introduced to date. More will be added from time to time to this honor roll as they prove 
their worth. Average blooms in this group are from two and one-half to three inches, and 
all are especially good cut flower varieties, by reason of flower formation, freedom of 
bloom, length of stem, attractive colors, and keeping qualities. All these fine varieties are 
highly recommended. 
ALL ARE PRICED AT %5c EACH. SET OF FOURTEEN POSTPAID FOR $9.00 
(These are all Wilmore originations and of the decorative type except as noted.)
