GILL’S RELIABLE DAHLIAS 
Dahlia orders will be filled during March and through April and May, but may be sent any time 
for booking, and will be filled in the rotation received. No dahlia orders will be filled after June 1, 
except collections, which will be sent up to June 15. All Dahlia prices postpaid. The rate for a dozen of 
one kind is 10 times the single rate. Six of one kind at the dozen rate. ; 
We publish a bulletin telling how to care for dahiias. This is sent free to all if requested and a 
copy is included with each order of bulbs. See dahlia collections on Inside Back Cover, 
When you receive your dahlia tubers open them very carefully so that the eyes on the tubers 
will not be injured. Keep them in a cool place, away from frost, until ready to plant. The dahlia 
tubers we offer are mostly grown in Oregon.
