TO MY FRIENDS AND PATRONS. 



It is again a great pleasure to present you witli ray annual 

 Catalogue, and in it I lhave endeavored to mention only t'lie 

 very best varieties. Each and every one of fcliera blooms and 

 flourishes with me, and with proper care they will witlli you. 



I wib-h to take this opportunity of thanking you for past 

 favors, and of wishing you a most suecessful season with our 

 favorite "The Da'hlia." 



G. LOUIS ALLING. 



Will those who favored me with their orders for bulbs at 

 the various Fall shows held up to Oct. 1, 1920, kindly send me 

 a copy of same as I had the misfortune to have my Order Books 

 stolen while at the New York show. This does not include 

 orders taken at the Danbury Fair. 



MY BUSINESS METHODS. 



This list cancels all previous ones. 



I do not recommend planting in this climate until the lat- 

 ter part of May, and to insure a long succession of bloom, 

 planting should be extended until the latter part of June. 



I start shipping around April 15th, and orders are filled 

 ni rotation as received, but if en.stomers will kindly state at 

 what time after that date they would like to receive thmn I 

 will try to ship them as near the date requested as possible. 



I send out divided field grown roots, everyone guaranteed 

 true to name, and to arrive in good growing condition. I ean^ 

 not guarantee tliem to grow if they are not unpacked imme- 

 diately upon receipt. 



All retail orders are sent Parcel Post unless instructions 

 are received to send them otherwise. 



Orders taken at the Fall Shows, and all others not-fully 

 paid for will be sent C. 0. D. at purchaser's expense, unless 

 previous arrangements have been made. 



As the demand for some sorts often exceeds the supply, 

 it will be well to order early and so avoid disappointment. It 

 will also be well to name a few as second choice or state if I 

 may substitute for any that are sold out.
