It is a late bloomer and must be planted early to get bloom quotas. An exceptional dahlia which will be with us for a long time. Roots, $; Plant, $ WHY GROW DAHUAS FROM PLANTS? The practice of making green plants is not new. It is a method which has enabled growers to get choice new varieties at half the tuber price. Every year more and more growers are showing a preference for dahlia plants over tubers. This is due principally to the fact that plants give greater assur- ance of success than do tubers. Careful study through the years has resulted in definite conclusions which prove this fact. JESSICA DRAGONETTE——We have classed this wonderful dahlia as a semi-cactus, but it borders on the informal. The color is blending of peach, apricot, and mauve. The plant growth is full and strong, and a profuse bloomer. The blooms will average ten inches in diameter. Root, $; Plant, $ KATHLEEN NORRIS——This is a beautiful pink of great size, but a flower without a trace of coarseness, in spite of its size. Kathleen Norris is the greatest pink dahlia to date. Root, 75c; plant, 50c. KITTY MAC——A striking petunia purple variety with fine rigid stems. A large flower that made many friends this year. Root, $; Plant, $ LILY PONS——Immense dahlia of the purest shade of orange, a color that has been needed for a long time. The flower can be grown to immense size. The stem is rigid and very long. Easily one of the outstanding new varieties at New York. Named by special permission of Lily Pons, the opera and screen star. Roo
