SCHEEPERS’ 
Large- Hous sted Dahtlias 
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 upright, 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 confidence we offer the fol- 
lowing list: 
We offer tubers strong in quality, selected from clumps which produced healthy, vigorous plants last season.
