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 con- 
fidence we offer the following list: 
ALICE MAY. (Informal-Decorative) New Australian in- 
troduction that is very lovely. Pure white with the blooms 
large and deep. We have examined some blooms this past 
summer that measured over ten inches wide and fully five 
inches deep. Good strong stems with fine healthy foliage 
make it a delightful plant for the garden. Always a prize- 
winner at the shows. Extra selected tubers, $1.25 each.

the Formal type Dahlias. Over thirteen inches wide and 
six inches deep at the Rutgers University trial gardens,
