"Quality is Remembered Long After Price is Forgotten" 



Quality means the best and finest types procurable in 

 their respective classes. We go to specialists for our 

 Dahlias Our customers, the grower, the private gardener, 

 demand the highest grade. We have no cheap catalogue 

 trade. "Quality" may mean a little higher price. 

 "Quality," in fact, means "quality," and we know 

 that when you buy from us you get it — and our customers 

 know it too. ARTHUR T. BODDINGTON
