86 Arthur T.Boddington, 342 West 14th St.. New Vork City DAHLIAS The following list of Dahlias has been most carefully selected, and comprises the cream of the hundreds of varieties in coninK-rce. The very best of each class is rejiresented. These vaiieties were chosen for their superiority in purity of color, length of stem, perfection of form, continuous flowering qualities and general excellence. Note.—Unless otherwise specified, all Dahlias are supplied in strong, divided field-grown roots. In some cases the demand for certain varieties exhausts our supply of roots, after which we send out growing plants which give equally good results. New Giant Dahlia, Mrs. Roosevelt The color is a delicate shade of soft pink ; flowers are perfectly double and very large, measuring 6 to 8 inches in diameter.
