DAHLIA SECTION 
Many Glad Growers, are discovering that the newer and better dahlias, suitable for 
cut-flowers, are a very profitable way to wind up your cut-flower season. After Labor 
Day, most of our Detroit florists ask for dahlias. They have had glads for 8 weeks, and the 
public wants something new, before the Mums come in. So, why not try some dahlias, to 
supplement your glads, for the fall business. Here is a list of the finest dahlias I have ever 
grown:
