Dahlias do not travel well, besides the field grown 



roots are more likely to give a larger and finer crop of flowers. Our customers who 



have visited our stores during the season when Dahlias were in bloom had the 



opportunity to see our exhibition of flowers cut from our growing stock, and all 



jgy correctly labeled. Our large show windows and spacious stores give us 



unequaled facilities for displays of flowers in their season and we cordially 



invite all, whether customers or not, to visit us and take advantage of 



the opportunities given to see the various varieties and compare them. 



Out employes are instructed to afford every aid to visitors in making 



up lists and selecting varieties whether they purchase or not. All 



are welcome.
