Announcement 



'E are now accepting orders for Judge Marean's famous Dahlia crea- 

 tions for Spring delivery. Judge Marean has passed on, but his 

 Dahlias will live after to immortalize him, and carry his name down 

 to posterity- 

 I ' ^'^'""'^ ' As was his expressed wish, the distribution of his Dahlias will 



be carried on the same in every way as heretofore. 



We consider it a compliment to us that our business was so satisfymg to 

 him that he left it to us to continue his work. 



We have in the past thrown our strength, energy and enthusiasm mto 

 the task to fittingly introduce and disseminate his Dahlias; now this sacred 

 trust has been left to us, we must still do more, if possible, particularly to 

 protect those Dahlia enthusiasts who wish to have in their collection a few 

 of the wonderful varieties created by the Judge. 



It is therefore that we state, that we are in complete control of the ongmal 

 stock of the Marean Dahhas as well as of undissemmated novelties, seedlmgs 

 and the seed he gathered last season from his most magmficent varieties. 



We offer and supply only strong divisions, taken from clumps that have 

 produced fine, perfect plants last season. No propagated plants or roots 

 thereof will be offered bv us. This original stock is only available through 

 our firm, with the exception of one concern, the Charles H. Totty Co., whose 

 orders shall be filled by us from the original stock. We have made no such 

 arrangement with any other concern or person. 



For lists please see previous issues of this magazine, or ask for our 

 illustrated catalogue. 



These Dahlias will always be offered to the public on their record and 

 our assurance of their merit, and if at the end of the season any purchaser is 

 dissatisfied with his purchase and will return the clumps and all their increase, 

 cutting' or other propagation, transportation paid, with an affidavit of its 

 identity, we shall return the price, though if the plant has failed to make good 

 it will not be the fault of the plant but of its culture. 



All Dahha lovers are cordially invited to see them blooming at 

 "DAYBREAK," GREENS FARMS, CONN.
