THE UNIVERSE 
We have been fortunate in securing 
from our good neighbors, COMPTON’S 
DAHLIA FARMS, a supply of their 
famous tubers, which are known all 
over the country for superior vigor 
and quality. We know you will agree 
with us when we say they are the best 
to be had. 
Dahlias are among the most popular 
summer blooms because of their size, 
rich coloring and intriguing form. 
Best known are the large decorative 
and cactus dahlias. We also recom- 
mend the miniature and pompon 
dahlias especially to the gardener who 
grows his blooms with an eye to cut 
flowers. 
Key to abbreviations: 
D—Decorative. Large fully double 
flowers. 
C—Cactus. Quilled sharp pointed 
petals. 
I—Informal. Somewhat irregular. 
F—Formal. Regular and symmetri- 
cal. 
S—Semi, as in semi-cactus.
