PRESS OF J. D. YOUNG, MIDDLETOWN, CONN,

To all Dahlia Lovers

yHE following list I believe contains about as choice a collection of Dahlias as it is possible to get together. The Prize Winners of California, Oregon, and the West as well as of the East are here listed, also the very best of the older varieties that have stood the test of time. I have tried hundreds of varieties and only those that have passed the test as to stems, size and quality of bloom will be found in my list.

Bulbs true to name and satisfactory in all respects will be shipped, and I feel that I can please all patrons looking for quality.

Yours respectfully,

H. McCONOCHIE.
