from out of the GOLDEN WEST... WORLD'S FINEST DAHLIAS GROWN IN NATURE'S OWN GARDEN SPOT Our growing fields are located in the beautiful Willamette Valley of western Oregon, right in the foothills of the lofty Cascade Mountains. Soft rains from the Pacific ocean combine with the gentle summer sun and our rich volcanic soil to produce the finest quality dahlias ever known — full, plump tubers of just the size to do the very best in your garden. GLORIOUS COLORS THAT ALMOST DEFY DESCRIPTION No other flower matches the dahlia in the wide range of colors and sizes, together with a long blooming season extending over several months.
