"Mecca" of Dahlia Lovers. More than 10,000 visitors weekly at the World's Largest Dalilia Farms 
IN THANKING our friends and customers for their generous patronage in the past, we also want to extend a cordial invitation 
to visit our farms next September and October. 
We wish every dahlia lover could have seen our fields the past season. "The finest ever" was the unanimous opinion of the 
tens of thousands of visitors. And truly never before were they quite so fine; one hundred (100) acres of the World's Best Dahlias. 
The hot dry weather seemed to bring out the very finest shades, tints, and colors, and such profusion. We devote acres just to trial 
grounds, not only to thoroughly test out all varieties, but for the benefit and pleasure of all "dahlia enthusiasts." 
On the following pages will be found the plain truth describing them as they grow with us, and the average color; for flowers 
vary in color at different seasons, on different soils, in different climates and under different conditions, so we take our colors at mid- 
season. 
ROOTS vs. PLANTS ^ e ^° not w ' sn to enter any controversy, but want to say, so far as flowers are concerned, 
^ ' there is no difference in results between roots and plants. Given the proper care, they will 
give equally good results. Even the growers who recommend plants as better than roots insist on roots when buying, because they 
are worth more. Otherwise, plants would not be offered at half price. 
Roots are more easily handled, ship long distances better, and give more roots for the following year. Plants, however, enable 
growers to offer varieties much more quickly, where stock is limited, and at lower prices than would be possible for roots. This also 
allows the dahlia enthusiasts to get just the varieties they want, even after root stocks are exhausted; or, to get twice as many plants 
for a given amount of money. 
HANDY INDEX A new feature this year is our new, handy index on page 27. Here, every variety described in this cata- 
logue is listed alphabetically, also giving type or class, page where described and price of roots and plants.

foot of Chestnut Street, Philadelphia, one mile south of the famous White Horse Pike from 
Philadelphia to Atlantic City, also 2% miles by direct road from Berlin. 
We cordially invite all to visit and see for themselves the LARGEST DAHLIA FARMS IN THE WORLD— THE HOME 
OF THE WORLD'S BEST DAHLIAS. 
ORDER EARLY ^ w '" g rea1; ly facilitate shipments if orders are sent in early. We aim to send out orders the same or 
the next day after receipt, but during the rush season this is impossible — hence the advisability of 
ordering early. If you so desire we will reserve and send at planting time or any date you name, otherwise orders go out at once 
weather permitting. 
Guarantee. We guarantee every plant, bulb or root sent out by us to be just as represented, absolutely true to name, reach 
destination safely in perfect condition, and prove entirely satisfactory; we will cheerfully replace any that should prove otherwise. 
You run absolutely no risk in ordering from us. 
Terms. Cash with order. Remittances may be made by Bank Draft, Post Office or Express Money Order, or Registered 
Letter at our expense and our risk. 
Forwarding. Dahlia Roots and Plants are sent by mail postpaid at prices named herein. By express Dahlias are billed at 
"2nd class" rates and in most cases are one-third (14) or 33J^ per cent, less than regular merchandise rates. 
Errors. While we exercise every care, errors may occur occasionally. In such a case kindly notify us at once, and correction 
will be promptly and cheerfully made.
