DAHLIAS 
Dahlias are the royal representatives of the summer season and they are known 
all over the world as decorative garden plants. They have shown a remarkable 
increase in public favour in recent years, because so many new and better varieties 
have been raised. Rich tints in every design of colour and strong stems make them 
invaluable for cutting as well as for garden purposes. 
We are able to offer the following list of very choice and rare Dahlias, which 
should be of special interest to the real connoisseur and fanciers. The roots 
offered are all top sized and can be planted from the Ist of April until the end of 
May. They are very easy to grow and do not need any special treatment although 
they want a sunny position in the garden and some bone-meal is recommended.
