BESSIE BOSTON DAHLIA FARM 
San Mateo. Cal. . 
Briefly, we want to state, m'C are the winners of four gold medals and 
three trophy cups in the San Fi-ancisco Dahlia Shows, besides many other 
firsts. We won more prizes this year than any other grower. 
Last year because of the unprecedented frosts, there were more 
demands than the supply, but this year we have a bigger stock, but advise 
our customers to order early. European stock is proving more and more 
unsatisfactory since the war, so the growers naturally turn to California 
which is the leader now in Dahlias. 
(iUAHANTEE — We guarantee that all dahlia tubers sent out to be 
true to name. 
TKHMS — Cash with order. 
FOHWARDINO — We begin to ship our tubers from February 1st 
unless otherwise ordered. 
OHDKH KAKLY — Early orders are solicited to avoid disappointment 
in case variety shold be sold out. 
PRK^ES — The following prices are for field grown divided tubers. 
Four of a kind at 10 rate, 25 at 50 rate, f. o. b. San Mateo, Cal. Less 
than four of a kind at 25% discount on the jetail price. Trade discount 
of 25% is given for all the dahlias listed in our 1918 catalogue issued in 
January. 
For description see 1918 catalogue.
