During the past several seasons we have featured DINNERPLATE DAHLIAS in our catalog. The 
response has been so great that this year we are increasing our list and offering more of these 
magnificent beauties. These giant flowered dahlias will produce flowers 8 to 12 inches across 
without any special care. The smallest flowers normally produced by these varieties are consider- 
ably larger than the blooms illustrated here, in many cases even twice as large. Order early as we 
will run out of many varieties within a few weeks.
